This Efficient House

This Efficient House is an excellent resource when it comes to helping make your project more energy efficient. Working with Mike has been very beneficial to our business as he has provided necessary heating calculations and other valuable insight for our projects. He spent the time to come out to our most recent jobsite, walking through with my guys and educating us all about HVAC and framing details that will help us build better homes for our clients. If you need an energy efficiency professional on your team I highly recommend This Efficient House.

Mike’s energy audit of our house went way beyond our expectations.He used high tech equipment to look at everything and everywhere. His report prioritized opportunities for us to improve efficiency. We followed up by having him change our furnace filter to two two inch filters. He was professional in his work that was high quality.

It was difficult getting an exact schedule for the filter work, but when done, it was done right.

I have used This Efficient House for 2 projects. Most recently for drill and fill cellulose insulation of my walls (applied from the interior, which is a challenging application). The results were great with a noticeable increase in comfort, reduced drafts, and less cycling of the furnace. The house is also quieter. I also used Mike and his team about 10 years ago for attic insulation, air sealing, and some other areas of targeted insulation work. They also installed a high efficiency Goodman furnace, which has performed incredibly well with zero issues over the last decade. That project itself reduced my gas bill by approximately 50% in the coldest winter months, not to mention making the house much more livable.

Mike was very helpful and he genuinely cares about the client. He identified several gaps in the attic insulation, diagnosed suboptimal airflow from AC/heater, and fixed both issues. He also inspected the attic to make sure there was no condensation from the central humidifier (which we were concerned about). We learned a lot of useful things from him and have optimized our energy usage and have the know how to prevent disasters. His service was well worth it. Highly recommended.

Have worked with this company for several years having them do improvements on our rental properties. Jobs include an attic insulation upgrade, air infiltration leakage test and fix. Today Mike did a comprehensive furnace inspection which located a small gas leak. We have always had good results with their work and the cost seemed fair.

All interactions were positive and professional, including explaining estimates and making changes since they were doing a bunch of work at my house. They did a great job of keeping our living space clean even though they were accessing the attic through our main floor to both install a whole house fan and blow in attic insulation. The work to insulate the walls was well done and exterior boards were replace without needing repair or repainting. It's been a full year and my energy bills are lower and my house is much more comfortable. They also did a good job following up with city of fort collins when the rebate payment got stalled by another city contractor. I would recommend.

This Efficient House insulated my crawl space, roof, some walls, and put in a whole house fan. 9 months later, I am still extremely happy with all of the work that they did- my house is warm and cozy in the winter and stays cool in the summer.

They were easy to work with and explained everything they were doing. It took them about as long for them to complete the work as I was quoted. They helped me with the city's rebates so that it was easy to get my refunds and came back to the house as necessary to ensure that I got the maximum refunds possible.

This Efficient House insulated my ceiling and my crawlspace. They replaced my hot water heater, and I have them scheduled to replace my old heater to a high efficiency alternative. My house is remarkably more comfortable in all seasons. In fact, allthough we have AC, we barely use it in the summer. For scheduling, I had to wait a day or two for phone calls from the office, but I found that when it came time to get the work done, our house was the priority. The crews were professional and friendly, showing up when they said they would, and working until the job was complete. I had one small issue with the ceiling insulation, and they returned and rectified the situation. Overall it was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend them.

Mike has a passion for making more comfortable, energy efficient homes. We have a 70s era split-level that suffered large temperature differences between levels and rooms. Through a combination of air duct sealing and additional insulation, they were able to lower the temperature differential to within 1 degree between the mid and upper levels of the home, even on very hot summer days. Mike is a pleasure to work with, showed up when he said he would and got the job done quickly.

Mike was great to work with on our whole-house fan project. He gave us a fair price (better than the competition) and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Will definitely check him out again for other work!
