Stephen Busby DDS
1 year agoI almost never give 5 stars, but this was truly 5 star service. Gail was excellent and patient with all my questions and Tom was very thorough with his assessment inspection. The insulating installers worked hard and got to every difficult spot in our 127 year old house. Tom followed behind them with extra touch ups and clean ups. We are toasty warm and happy! -
Matt Robins
1 year agoTom and Gail are amazing to work with. They gave us a complete rundown of all the places our home is inefficient and then recommended we do just the things that would make the biggest impact. They also did all the work to navigate various loan and rebate programs so we saved a lot of money and got a great financing deal. Highly recommend!

FAQ
How does Home Energy Diagnostics determine pricing for an energy audit and retrofit work?
We provide custom quotes based on your home's size, age, and specific energy concerns. Our initial energy audit includes a comprehensive assessment using blower door testing, thermal imaging, and ductwork evaluation to identify where your home is losing energy. Once we've completed the audit and prioritized recommendations by impact and cost, we'll give you transparent pricing for each improvement so you can decide which upgrades make sense for your budget and timeline.
Are you licensed and insured to perform energy audits and home improvements?
Home Energy Diagnostics operates as a certified home energy service provider in New Jersey. We recommend asking about our specific licenses, certifications, and insurance coverage when you contact us-this ensures you're working with a qualified professional who stands behind the work and protects your home throughout the project.
What specific services does Home Energy Diagnostics offer beyond the initial energy audit?
After the audit, we handle the full retrofit process including air sealing, insulation installation, ductwork sealing, oil-to-gas conversions, and HVAC system upgrades. We also assist with securing state rebates through the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program to offset costs. Beyond energy work, our team manages water heater installation and replacement, basement waterproofing, and general handyman services to address comfort and efficiency issues comprehensively.
How long does an energy audit take, and when can you schedule the work?
Home Energy Diagnostics typically completes a full energy audit in a few hours, depending on your home's size and complexity. The audit includes visual inspections, diagnostic testing with specialized equipment, and a detailed walkthrough of findings. After the audit, we'll discuss the timeline for any recommended improvements-some projects may be scheduled quickly while others depend on material availability and your preferences for phasing the work.
What does Home Energy Diagnostics do with debris and how is my home left after the work is finished?
We maintain a clean work environment throughout the project and remove all debris and waste materials when we're done. Our team takes care to protect your home during installation-whether we're adding insulation, sealing air leaks, or upgrading systems-and we leave the work area organized and ready for you to use. Customer reviews consistently mention that our crew goes the extra mile to keep things tidy and ensure you're satisfied with how everything looks when we finish.
Why is a professional energy audit better than trying to improve efficiency on your own?
A professional audit uses specialized diagnostic tools like blower door tests and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint exactly where your home is losing energy-issues you can't see with the naked eye. We analyze your utility bills and home systems to create a prioritized list of improvements that will have the biggest impact on your comfort and savings. This prevents costly mistakes like installing insulation in the wrong areas or missing hidden air leaks that waste energy year-round, and it helps you avoid choosing the wrong solution to comfort problems.
