Get To Know Us

Our office uses high efficiency geothermal heating and cooling, solar electric and thermal panels, passive solar design, energy recovery ventilation and super-insulated walls and roof. We walk the walk. As 3rd party testers and inspectors we are available to offer recommendations and results based on data, not sales tactics.

Words from our
Founders
The idea of forming Home Energy Consultants came about during the experience of building our first home in 2005. We had decided to use Energy Star to certify that the home is energy efficient and immediately found that there were few reputable 3rd parties certified to do the required inspections. Local contractors were misrepresenting themselves, and many costly mistakes were made. Contractors were misleading us, doing substandard work, and ruining our house. Ruth and I asked ourselves, “Is this what you have to go through to build an Energy Star labeled house?” We thought the process needed to be better for homeowners, so we created the solution, Home Energy Consultants. Today, Home Energy Consultants serves our clients by providing knowledge and expertise, as well as offering fully trained professionals to help in every aspect of certifying Energy Star and HERS rated homes, code compliance, HVAC sizing, building forensics and home assessment.

An absolute pleasure to work with!!! Extremely friendly staff and very professional. A local municipality I recently applied for a mechanical permit with recently adopted new state code and now require a Manual J and Manual S calculation for permit issuance. H.E C. Was recommended to me from another professional in the HVAC industry. They have been very helpful and knowledgeable while helping me get through a very tricky situation on a recent HVAC project my company has taken on, The information needed is definitely not for the hands of the inexperienced in energy efficiency and current local and state building codes. Home Energy Consultants knew exactly what was needed and what to do when I explained what was required from me to have a building permit issued. Highly recommend Home Energy Consultants for your professional HVAC needs.

I’m pleased to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Home Energy Consultants. Their deep expertise in the New York State Energy Code proved to be an invaluable asset during the construction of my home in Westchester County, helping streamline the process and significantly reduce stress. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with thorough, responsive, and flexible with my schedule. What truly sets them apart is their commitment to communication: Nancy and Jonathan consistently made themselves available to address questions, talk through concerns, and provide timely guidance-critical during the fast-paced stages of construction. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive energy consulting team, look no further than Home Energy Consultants. They deliver not only results but peace of mind.

I have been working with Home energy consultants for 12 years and without a doubt he is one of my best sub-contractors. The scope of my job as a project manager and coordinator is schedules, costs and quality control. My feeling is, if you have a contractor that does good work at a fair price and is there when he is scheduled, you have found a key player in the phasing of a construction project. Home energy consultants does all this and more! The staff and field technicians are very professional and is a pleasure to work with
