Allison,
I recently had Green Collar Operations come to my home and completed insulation in my attic and solar fans. What a professional and courteous job they did. On time, on budget and exceeded the workmanship completed. A job well done. The decrease in temperature in my attic from the installation of the solar fans has made a huge difference!

Fabulously. Rodger & Hugo were great. It was a pleasure having them here. The owner, Rob, stopped by to check on the work and I really liked his whole demeanor and the way he spoke to Rodger & Hugo.

The compressor for the air blower gave out when they had only one bag left to go, so when we schedule the final, they'll need to come back and finish that real quickly.

I could not have been happier with the service your company provided. I will definitely recommend you to friends and clients.

I recently reviewed several companies to audit my home for energy efficiency and to identify areas where I needed to add insulation or otherwise improve my home's energy efficiency to lower my utility costs. After reviewing several companies I decided to utilize Green Collar Operations to perform an energy audit. There was no effort to sell me a "new" air conditioner. There was no real sales pitch at all other than to identify and make suggestions on the work that would lower my energy bills.

I could not have been more pleased with the professionalism of the person performing the initial audit and after receiving an estimate on some potential improvements I decided to have Green Collar Operations come back and install some additional insulation, seal some areas around my piping, and to renew my weatherstripping on exterior doors. The work was done very efficiently and the owner came by during the work effort to confirm the quality of the work completed. I was extremely pleased with the work done by Green Collar Operations and would recommend them to anyone if they wanted to review their home and identify areas where they could lower their energy consumption in their home.

I just wanted to make sure I complimented your whole team for great service and knowledge. I believe I may have received the same services for a bit less however I don't think I would have received the same level of service you provided.
    
Your team was always friendly and appeared very happy to be doing what they do. All appointments were kept and the person was always on time. I was guided through the process right from the beginning and GC took care of all of the paperwork. I did not have to worry about the inspection as your rep. was there and even added some addition weatherstripping during the inspection to ensure the home passed and I would get my rebates without delay.
    
I have already started recommending your company and a co-worker has an appointment tomorrow.
    
It's great to do business with a local company and a reputable one at that.

When we first moved into our 50's era home in April 2009, we knew that the insulation and weather sealing left a lot to be desired. We had been researching blown insulation for a while, but hadn't made a priority out of it until recently. By chance, Green Collar Operations left a flyer offering a free energy audit and after reading positive reviews of their work online, I scheduled a consultation.

The Green Collar associate (Adam) arrived the next day and after about a half hour of inspection, was able to give me not only recommendations on what Green Collar could do to improve the efficiency of our home, but also offered pointers on some cost-effective things I could do on my own to further protect our home from the elements. He was able to show me the cost to just do the insulation work we had been considering, but he also let me know that thanks to rebates and tax credits, Green Collar could insulate the attic up to R-38 as well as reseal our doors, windows, and plumbing openings for less out of pocket cost. It didn't take long for us to decide to move forward with Green Collar and they were able to come out within a week.

It took a two-man crew about four hours to complete the promised work. They were courteous, professional, and very cautious while working inside our home. I was very pleased with how clean they left things when the work was complete and they let me know that the office would be in touch in a few weeks to schedule the City of Austin's follow-up inspection to qualify for the rebates. Given the quality of their workmanship, I fully anticipate receiving the rebates.

I highly recommend this service and look forward to lower electric bills.

Subject: Re: Final Inspection - for your rebates

Alison, Do I need to do anything else, like send in a form to the city for the rebates to progress now that the inspection has been done? By the way, our next month's utility bill was down $100, so the new ductwork obviously made a difference. We may want to go forward with the other plans after we settle some other things. Thanks for turning in the paperwork for us on the rebate. I've told several friends about your service and the difference it has made, so you may be getting calls from them.

Thanks, Linda M.

I must say my investment this past summer has really showed that it does work, and pay for itself over time..I wished I would have done this years ago.. I always mention your company to my friends and neighbors whenever the issue of saving power $$ comes up. Our government should really push this more.. it really works, and it's a win-win for everyone involved..

Mr. Scott:

I want to tell you how impressed I was with the two Green Collar Operations representatives I met, Adam and Benito. They were both very knowledgeable and personal. I went with the fan installation because I trusted the information they gave me. I am sure the solar attic fan will help make our home more comfortable and cut the energy bill to some degree. I am also so grateful Adam found and Benito sealed a leak from our AC unit.

You mentioned you would be able to drop off a t-shirt with your emblem sometime when you are in the area. A medium in white with any design would be great, whatever you have the most of. Also, my husband takes an XXL if you would be so generous.

I will contact Green Collar Operations for more energy conservation steps and am telling people how happy we were with your company.

Thank you,

Rob,

I drew up a comparison of my electric bills for 2008 & 2009 and it shows that our electric bills for the summer of 2008 were 23% higher than 2009, although the summer of 2009 was much hotter.

Summer 2008 utility bills before Green Collar: $567.45
Summer 2009 utility bills after Green Collar: $460.14

Thank you,
Albert in Northwest Austin, 1/27/2010

I saw Green Collar advertising on the running trail a few months ago, I researched the operation, and then scheduled the evaluation. Today, just a couple days following the evaluation, the weatherization was completed and done exactly as promised. Each Green Collar employee I dealt with was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I'm in an industry where customer service is paramount, and I appreciate doing business with a company like Green Collar that also strives to meet customer expectations.

Best Regards,

Thank you Green Collar for your wonderful service!
After the recommended work was done I found even during the coldest days that I was turning the heat down not up anymore.
My house is happy and so am I.
My only regret is that I wish I would have done it sooner!

Fragrant blessings,

Green Collar employees and service has been outstanding from the initial contact at Wheatsville Coop to the final inspection with the Austin Energy rep. Honoring appointment commitments has become rare, so it was especially pleasing that schedules were kept true.
Most significantly, though, was the immediate improvement we experienced in our home. The house is a 1920's vintage with lots of air leakage. We noticed less frequent cycling of the heat pump that day. Even more, the house "felt" tighter, had less breeziness and held temperatures longer.
We anticipate even better improvements with air conditioning in the summer… we can hardly wait for 100+ temps!
