| National Energy Audits & USEEC |
| Fraudulent Energy Audits |
| 23rd of May, 2011 by Barry Larkin |
| National Energy Audits and United States Energy Efficiency Council (USEEC) are scam artists trying to capitalize on the "green revolution." The USEEC organization will telemarket you stating that they are funded by the Federal government to set up energy audits in your area. The only company they "refer" is National Energy Audits. Because USEEC is the same company as National Energy Audits. National Energy Audits has no certifications to perform energy audits. They are not a Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified company, they perform NO tests on your home. And they do not belong to any state or utility rebate programs because of their lack of certifications. They only do a walk-through by a sales guy, no blower door test on the initial visit and if you decide to do any work with these scam artists they do not perform a blower door test after the work is complete. They do not measure any results of their "work" in any way. Do not accept any appointments with USEEC (United States Energy Efficiency Council), do not accept an audit from National Energy Audits, and do not believe the National Home Energy Efficiency Program (NHEEP) rebates, as they are only a front completely invented by National Energy Audits to sell you some caulk, insulation, and poor performing windows. National Energy Audits, USEEC and their NHEEP "rebates" are all a scam to take advantage of well-meaning homeowners in New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey. |

| WOW! completely off base. Not sure what you are talking about...I got two audits and 5 bids on beefing up my insulation (I have an old house so had very little). I'm confused because the guy who audited my house, Matt, was the most professional and up front of all I dealt with. He even told me areas that didn't need insulation where others said did. Anyway, bottom line is that I used them and my bills went down even more than he said they would. |

| NCOMPETENT AUDITORS AND EVEN MORE INCOMPETENT INSTALLERS!!! The United States Energy Efficieny Council called me (which i have uncovered to be a complete SCAM that works for National Energy Audits) and said they were in my area doing audits. The normal price is $249 for the National Energy Audits but through them the price was $49. I said can you do better and they instantly dropped the price to $29. SO for $29 i said sure, come on down. Well i had an auditor who i wont name and i am very sad to learn that he was suppose to do a blower door test and a combustion test. My wife was home alone for this audit and the auditor took advantage and did not perform any tests. He sold her on some solutions. It turns out they sealed off our laundry vent and this posed a HUGE hazard. I dont know why the auditor recommended this and i am more shocked that the so called carpenters this company uses would even install this application. I have learned that they have done this to many homes in Princeton, NJ. We were not the only ones. I wonder why they were kicked out of the States Rebate program. Which is why they now offer their own "NHEEP" rebate. They basically increase the price and than give it back to you in a rebate. WHAT A SCAM. I wish my wife would have waited for me to come home from my business trip to schedule the work so i could have done my homework. Well it has been several months now and I am also seeing absolutely no savings. I hope this company is around in 3 years so i can see if they will honor their guarantee of a refund if i dont get the savings. Since the work was done, i called in a second Energy Auditing company and it turns out that National Energy Audits uses the cheapest kind of spray foam. It is not a 2 part closed cell foam. Its the kind in 1 tank. If these guys show up to spray foam your house, make sure the tanks are a set of two going into hoses into a gun. If not, its not a 2 part closed cell foam. I could have gone to Home Depot and bought great stuff for $3 a can and done the work myself. I am very dissapointed and I am also filing a complaint with the Attorney General. Please do your homework before you allow National Energy Audits into your home |
