Kent, Amy, Suzanne,

It’s a pleasure meeting and dealing with you and your team. The Professionalism, honestly, and concern for your customer’s home are second to none!  Your team provided outstanding customer service and left no sign they were there after the installation.

We researched every available option considering initial cost, estimated monthly savings, tax credits, and payback. We choose Energy Attic for two reasons; one contractor, and technologies used. Most if not all others sub out some or all three portions of the job. We liked the single source and individual design processes used with each customer. I have been in the AC industry 25+yrs so I knew what we needed and what to look out for.

Before making the decision, we had the AC OEM inspect and verify the Heat Pump was working correctly. They confirmed the unit is undersized for Texas summers and is working at 100%! Apparently it’s a common practice to undersize the AC system by 1 ton or more in this area? Our 3 ton, 13 seer unit could not maintain 80 degrees in the home when the outside temp exceeded 100f. During the 105 weeks, inside temps would creep up to 83+ with the AC unit running 14+hrs everyday!  

Our home has 2100sft of open attic area, so we choose the complete package for maximum benefit. A large solar fan, radiant barrier, and R50 upgrade.  Your crew arrived on time, was very professional, and completed the installs within 20 minutes of the provided estimate. Very good team!

The solar fan was in place by 8:00am and we could feel the draft of cool air being drawn in via the garage access. Now for the amazing part, As the crew moved from east to west across the attic, installing the radiant barrier, we could feel the rooms cooling down! I recorded room temps, ac supply grill temps, and ceiling temps throughout the home. The results are astonishing! During a normal summer day, the AC would run for approximately 45 minutes per hr starting from sun up. Yesterday, during the install, the AC didn’t run at all until 11:15a and only for 20 minutes! So far today, the AC has ran twice since 6:00am.

After a much deserved lunch break, the crew began installing the R50 upgrade to the existing insulation. Again we could feel the home “changing” as the 12in of “Climate Pro” was added to all areas, including the garage.

The results are truly amazing!

-A reduction of 4 degrees at the ac supply grills; from 58f to 54f (correct placement of AC supply ducts in the attic) Contractor had left ducts in and under existing insulation..   very bad

-A reduction of 6 degrees of ceiling surface temps; average of 84f to 78f (Home builder did not provide adequate insulation. Some areas had less then 4inches of pink stuff! Some areas had none!

-Our home feels great, and is much, much quieter than before. Our home is under the evening approach path for DFW airport. Before today, we could hear the big jets preparing for landing. Last evening we didn’t notice a single one! The noise reduction is a benefit we were not expecting and one many others will enjoy as well.  

Kent, your energy attic system does everything you said and more. We are very happy with the results and will send copies of our utility bill as proof to others that a correctly designed system works wonders!

Thank you so much for making our home comfortable and energy efficient!

Dear Suzanne, 

I am not usually one for overstatement, but this one deserves it.  Energy Attic analyzed both the current condition of my house, as well as the steps to REDUCE my power bills.  Guess what, it worked.  We installed radiant barrier, improved the vents, and added some insulation.  The result was that I had a bill that was over 50% less than last year, in a hotter summer.  All I can say is that it works.  Kent and his crew were honest and did what they said.  I cannot recommend them more highly.

Thanks again for everything.

Suzanne:

I would like to comment on the results of having Energy Attic insulation put in the bank’s attic. 

This summer was the hottest and longest in history!  Our offices temperature would get up to 85+ degrees in the afternoons; and this was even after we spent thousands last year having two new air conditioning units replaced!

We had the radiant barrier installed and two solar powered fans in our roof.  I want to sing praises of the cool afternoons we had after that!  It was amazing the difference it made in our comfort AND cooling bills!  Our air conditioners could then keep up with the temperature settings at a cool 74 degrees with no problem.  We even heard the units cut off during the day.  This never happened before the installation.

Thank you Energy Attic for making our working environment enjoyable!

Suzanne,

Wanted to let you know that in one month our electric bill was cut by half and this happened during the hottest days of 2011!!!  We are thrilled! 

Thanks so much!

Suzanne,

Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how excited we are that we decided to have the foil radiant barrier installed and that we chose Energy Attic to do the work.

Your crew was on time and professional and even asked to borrow the vacuum before they left so they could clean up!  I have never had another company do that.

The change we saw in our house was immediate.  Our boy’s rooms finally cooled and the A/C was able to keep the temperatures comfortable in our house.   We were shocked the first time the A/C turned off during the heat of the day because that has never happened. 

We recommend Energy Attic every chance we get!

Thanks Kent and Amy!

I've been telling our friends about your company and hope they make the same smart decision we did!  My electric bills are $92.00 and $105.00 a month now. The years prior we were paying $195.00 and the mid $200s, and we now have a BIG home Theater System that eats energy!

Can't be happier!

Good Afternoon Suzanne,

Good afternoon Suzanne,

I wanted to take a moment and share some very interesting results as to the radiant barrier installed by Energy Attic.

The reason we felt we needed a radiant barrier installed to begin with is the visual lack of insulation and the fact that our heating and cooling bills were so high. We initially contributed this to some of the news coverage concerning the perceived troubles with the New Digital ONCOR Meters, but it was clear we needed for our home to be insulated properly as much for the cold as for the heat.

February 2010 when North Texas received a record for one day snowfall and had really cold temperatures for the entire month, we had a bill of just over $600 and our thermostat wasn't turned up beyond 67 degree's.

Then we installed the EnergyAttic system on June 2nd.

I said that to say this...with the 29 days of consecutive 100 degree days, we were pleasantly surprised when our bill was just $210. I will contribute this to the radiant barrier installed by Kent and team. I just wanted to say thanks to a company that actually delivers what they say they do.

Thanks again, and I will recommend EnergyAttic to anyone who needs to reduce their energy bill and increase their comfort of living.

Sincere Regards,

Don

To: Kent Patterson....I want to thank you and your professional crew for transforming my attic, with Solar Fan Vents, 20 inches of insulation, Radient Foil Barrier and Attic Tents...What a pleasure to do business with such a positive, professional thinking and acting company.  My attic looks like a showroom.  I got my first electric bill, and it was down by $300.00 from the previous month.  Mission accomplished!  Thank you so much for the first class job.

Please feel free to use us as a recommendation anytime....

Hi Suzanne:

I just want to say that Janet & I are sure enjoying our new home now that we hired your company to do our attic & that we want to tell everyone out there that our energy bills for ELECTRIC & HEATING has been CUT IN HALF.  Again my hat is off to you & your wonderful company. 

THANK YOU & YOUR GREAT STAFF.

Dear: Kent and Amy Patterson,

My wife and I want to express our appreciation for the excellent customer service and installation job that was done on the radiant barrier and insulation you and your installation team installed for us. Your installation crew was professional and courteous and did a top notch job.

The job looks great. Both you and Amy were very friendly and accommodating with every inquiring and request we made to the point you made us feel like friends and family. I appreciate the fact that you took time throughout the project to explain how the installation was going, how the product would work and the science behind the process. This provided me a great deal of comfort with the overall process. My wife and I both noted that the furnace doesn't seem to run as much as it use to during these colder winter nights. In fact a cold draft through an exhaust fan in the master bathroom has been eliminated. 

I am actually looking forward to summer this year, because I no longer will have to fear the high energy cost of cooling our home. The radiant barrier and additional insulation you have installed has turned our home into a "Coleman Cooler."

Thank you;

Ed & Stacy T

Attic Reengineering Observations

  • Radiant Barrier was completed 5/21/08, additional insulation completed 5/22/08, solar fans & vents completed 5/29/08.
  • Built temperature weighted regression model and calculated what monthly electric bill would have been before attic reengineering and compared it to actual monthly electric bill after attic reengineering.
  • $$ savings over past 4 months averaged 34% per month, high of 41% during hottest month observed, and low of 32% during coolest month observed.
  • Currently forecasting 3.7 year payback, which is a 27% pre-tax annual return on investment.  Results are based on our 5000 sq ft home.  Other homes may have different results.
  • Environmental benefits from reducing power demand are:

           *Eliminates 3,900 pounds of CO2 emissions per year from a natural gas fired power plant.
           *Saves 6,400 gallons of water usage per year required to cool a natural gas fired power plant.

  • Put remote thermometer in attic.  After attic reengineering, attic temperature averages +6 degrees warmer than outside air.  Before attic reengineering, best estimate is attic temperature averaged +35 degrees warmer than outside air.  Attic reengineering decreased attic temperatures (-29) degrees, on average.
  • Temperature between rooms has levelized.  Very little temperature variability between rooms after attic reengineering.
  • A/C units run noticeably less.

We are very pleased with our results and look forward to many years of return on our investment.

Dear Kent,

I just wanted to let you know that I am extremely pleased with my radiant barrier.  There is a noticeable difference in the temperature in our home.   I was also impressed at how professional your crew was and how neat and clean everything was once the job was completed.

I have forwarded your information and pictures on to everyone in my company.  They are all anxious to hear my results.

Also, thank you for remembering the vent.  When most contractors walk away, that's it.  It is nice to do business with ethical people.

Please feel free to use me as a reference.

Kent,

Everything is great.  Your people did a great job, prompt, courteous and skillful.  I never realized what a great benefit this could be.  I had heard about radiant barrier many times, but I never actually thought an installation could be this impressive and meaningful.  I am so pleased to have had this done, I can't wait until next summer and really enjoy the benefits of this project.

Kent, I have dealt with a lot of contractors, but my experience with you and your company was truly delightful.  You did everything you said you would do and followed up to make sure of my satisfaction.
 
I recommend your radiant barrier installation to everyone.

Dear Kent, Amy and Suzanne,

 

I thoroughly studied the topic of radiant attic barrier for three years before I negotiated my installation contract with your firm.  I exhausted every available source of information in my research:  government, manufacturers, wholesalers, universities, and multiple companies in the Metroplex who offer various approaches to attic re-engineering.  I settled on Energy Attic for a number of key reasons and my decision was rewarded with a flawless implementation that exceeded my highest expectations. 

 

Your crew arrived early and took time to evaluate my specific situation.  The actual workmanship was superb.  There was no evidence that the crew had been in my attic, save the wall-to-wall mirror-like finish of the shiny new environment.  I closely examined every seam and their work was flawless. 

 

From beginning to end my experience with Energy Attic was exemplary and the perfect example of a vendor taking incredibly good care of his customer.  Without any hesitation or reservation I strongly recommend your company to my neighbors in Tarrant, Dallas, Denton and Collin Counties as the best in the entire Metroplex for retrofitting an energy efficient attic. 

 

Very truly yours,

Kent & Amy,

Thank you.  Everything looks great!

We have had several experiences with contractors since moving to TX and none have been as positive as working with Kent and MAC Radiant Barrier/EnergyAttic.  Your experience, honesty, and dedication to quality were evident from the beginning and we are very pleased with the installation.  We have already noticed a difference in the temperature of the house and are looking forward to the difference the Radiant Barrier will make during the summer months.

I will definitely be calling you when we are ready for some additional blown-in insulation.

Thanks again,

The EnergyAttic system is absolutely amazing.  The construction of our 8,000 sq. ft. barn is complete and the temperature is always so comfortable.  We did a combination of radiant barrier covering the entire barn and the radiant barrier insulation. Through the heat of the summer, we were cool and now that it's getting colder, the inside is nice and cozy.

I was so impressed with Kent and Amy Patterson that we also had them insulate our attic in our current house.  It is truly like a different home inside and the electric bills are way down.  The quality of their work was second to none and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a more energy efficient home.

Kent,

I was very impressed with your professionalism while doing my radiant barrier installation.  You and your employees were always courteous and conscientious.  Any one of my friends or associates that tells me that they are considering doing something like this, I will tell them about you and your company.

Kent & Amy,

What an amazing product you have!  I was surrounded by uninsulated areas in the bedrooms and now everywhere is significantly more comfortable.  The difference in my electric bill was more than 30% less than last years and the temperatures were cooler so I am sure it would have been more if the temperatures were the same. 

I was very impressed with how your crew arrived on time and came in and got started right away.  They did a great job and left everything neat and tidy.

We are more than thrilled with our investment and would definitely recommend not only this product but your company as well.

Thanks again,

Dear Kent, Amy & Suzanne,

Thank you so much for the extraordinary job your crew did during my recent radiant barrier installation. The time you spent educating me was a welcome change from other vendors I have dealt with in the past. I appreciate your honesty and candor about all the options available on the market today.

We are enjoying the benefits of our radiant barrier tremendously and can't wait to see how much money we save once the temperatures start rising again!

I appreciate your crew and the amazing job they did. I was also impressed by how they showed up on time and completed everything in a timely manner. I was thrilled to see that I would not have to be cleaning up after them!

We will definitely be recommending you to all our family and friends.

Dear Kent & Amy,

WOW...lower energy bills, can't beat that!!!!  The EnergyAttic Radiant Barrier is awesome...in additional to my lower energy bills.  I am so thrilled that my upstairs A/C unit does not run all the time when the temperature reaches 100+!  Plus, I can feel such a difference in my garage now that the door is covered with the product.

Thank you for the professional application of an incredible Product!

Sincerely,

Alida

Dear Kent, Amy & Suzanne,

You guys are so awesome!!!  We are absolutely loving our radiant barrier and enjoying how comfortable our home is, especially in this summer heat! 

By the way, our neighbors had the paint installed in their home about 18 months ago and said they haven't noticed any difference in their utility bill.  Not so for us!!!!

Thank you so much!

Morning,

Just wanted to say what a very courteous, polite, and nice group of men you had for your installation crew.  They were very courteous everytime they spoke with my wife or myself and left the garage cleaner than they found it.  They had very good attitudes and very good work ethics, always busy.

We are very pleased with the results and the install.  I got up in the attic several times last night to just look at everything, and they did a great job in very rough conditions.

We will be looking forward to seeing how the bills and comfort level in the house end up and will certainly report back.

Thanks again for your very professional service, not only before, but all along the process.

Take care,

Suzanne,

The tale of the summer is ready to be told.  Ya'll installed the radiant barrier in our daughter's Grandbury home last spring.  We pulled the electric bill from July 2008 to compare costs and....

She lowered the thermostat from 78 to 75 degrees to make the house more comfortable - which she loves!!!!  (But I have to wear a jacket when I visit.)  We are just amazed at a 45% reduction in electrical expenses!

You have definitely made a believer outta both of us!!!

Marsha H.  
Grandbury, TX



Good Morning!

It's day two with the radiant barrier installed and I can say there are two things I have noticed already.  One is that my A/C starts about the same number of times during the day, however, the length of time it runs is much shorter.  Two, my house feels chilly inside!  I've never felt a chill from coming outside to inside like I do now.  I have set the thermostat from 78 to 80 and it still feels chilly when I come inside!  Who would have thought 80 degrees was chilly?!?!?  I'm looking forward to seeing what happens on my electric bill and report back.

Thanks for a job well done,

Michael B.
Allen, TX



Dear Energy Attic,

Thank you so much for the incredible job your crew did installing radiant barrier in our home.  We have immediately noticed the difference in how often the A/C unit is coming on and can definitely tell a difference in how comfortable our home is.  Since we just moved into this home, we really don't have electric bills to compare but we know we will be saving money simply because the A/C unit is not running constantly like it has the past 2 months since we moved in. 

We are very pleased with the installation and were very impressed with the professionalism of the crew that came out to install in our home.

Thank you so much for making these first time home buyers at ease and explaining everything so we could understand the process and what to expect.

We will definitely be recommending you to all our family and friends!

Dear Kent, Amy & Suzanne,

We wish to express our gratitude for the special considerations that made installation of the radiant barrier and solar vents possible at this time and how impressed we are with the excellent results.

Thought you would like hearing of the astounding changes we realized almost immediately as soon as the crew had completed the work and clean-up.

The attic and garage are much cooler; best of all, air circulation is fresher.  The greatest surprise occurred the next day.  The SW compressor kicked on at 2:21 pm and the NE compressor at 3:34 pm.  Both thermostats registered 76 until that time.  The compressors ran for short periods intermittently and ceased sometime after 7 pm remaining cool; only occassionally resuming throughout the night as needed.

With sincere thanks and appreciation,

Doris & Toni H.
