Building Efficiency, Inc.

Building Efficiency upgraded our typical Berkeley bungalow, insulating our walls and crawlspace, replacing our central gas heating with a ducted heat pump system and replaced our water heater with a Sanco2 heat pump. We've lived with the systems for 2-1/2 years and couldn't be happier! We went from $950 a year in utility bills to $165 the first year, and even with PGE rates climbing, we're still at less than a third the cost we used to pay. Our house is much more comfortable, and the insulation paid additional dividends by making things so much more quiet! ...thumbs up for BE.

Building Efficiency evaluated the property and educated us thoroughly before providing a competitive to install a heat pump and water heater. They communicated well, kept a clean work site, and the staff was professional and efficient. We've been very happy with the results.

A Heat Pump was installed by Building Efficiency, replacing my old gas furnace. This enabled me to have a good heat source without the smell of a gas furnace and to have AC when needed. They worked closely with me to establish the best location for the heat pump (which does generate some noise of its own), were clear about the time frame in which we neede to schedule the work, and cleaned up afterward. They also continued support of the project afterward to fine tune the interior filter which had been making noise (fixed!) and helped me to understand the different ways for the new thermostat to be used. Staff was helpful, friendly, respectful of my home and my schedule.
