    In 2008, I was looking for a green building contractor to build a hypoallergenic bathroom from scratch, and the pickings were very slim back then. Dan and Gavin had already done a full home energy performance review on the house, and when I discovered that they are also building contractors, I hired them. I think my bathroom project was their first major job. They are totally committed to green, environmentally-conscious, and energy efficient construction, before anyone had heard of a Green Building Council. In those days, that was hard to find. They faced some very complex technical challenge

    I used Balance Point for an energy audit and a retrofit when they were first starting out...I think it was back in 2007. I just found their website so should have posted this earlier. They were terrific. I did take the contractor classes for doing Home Performance Audits and met the Balance Point founders when they were teaching some of the classes.

    These guys are very good at diagnosing problems within homes. They speak nationally as front runners in the home performance and HVAC industry and I had the pleasure of meeting them in Tulsa Oklahoma as respected professionals through the AEP/PSO Utility Rebate Program.

If not for their presentation in Tulsa, my company, Morris Heat and Air would not be the company it is today.

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
