What Homeowners Say
“Gary taught me more about energy consumption during that 2-3 hour inspection than anyone has ever taught me in the past. I needed to help save money and conserve energy. The bill we received from Huntsville Utilities this month was $156 lower than the same month last year! We were very pleased.”
– Judy Street, SE Huntsville, AL
“They did an incredible job of showing me the leaks and what the problems were with my HVAC system. After I got bids for replacing it, they helped me sort through the bids. I replaced the HVAC system and the duct work. My utility bills are lower than they were AND my house is more comfortable. I am thrilled with this service.”
– Lynne Berry, Huntsville, AL
