Great job on insulating my attic. Upstairs AC can now hold 70° on 90°+ days.

I spoke to Jim who took a lot of time to explain some soundproofing options I had for my commercial space. He spent about 25 minutes on the phone going over what hed suggest to fix my problems, even though what he suggested actually turned out to be solvable without spray foam, and with a much more economical options via special sheetrock insulation. I appreciated his honestly, and the time he took to explain the best option for me, and didnt try to sell me on something I didnt need, or wouldnt work.

Jim had to work under our deck, removing old insulation and insulating the kitchen overhang with foam.. They worked through a cold rain all day. We are very pleased with the work they did. Also a great job with cleanup.

All talk, trying to sell you the idea of how superior the foam is to regular insulation. Type of people that you have to hunt down in order to get an estimate and theyll try to run up the bill on you too so dont bother telling them that youre on a budget. Look elsewhere.* Jim (the owner) actually did stop by and explained the process and cost to me. I take back my previous comments. Hes not a bad guy, just very busy and runs a small crew thats why it took a bit longer for him to come by.

After reading through the reviews and the soundproofing existing walls information on the Energy Smart website I filled out the inquiry entry hoping to hire this contractor to soundproof the outside facing walls on my home. John called me the very next day. Sadly he does not work outside the northeastern US and I live in the northwest, Washington state to be specific. That said, John spent the next 30 minutes with me and described in detail the methods and materials available for foam injection soundproofing existing homes and commercial properties I must say I have never had a contractor be so specific about their profession and give up so much of their hard learned secrets about the work they do. John not only told me everything I needed to do this work myself, but also told me to call him when I get started and he would walk me through it step by step.Thank you John. You are truly a breath of fresh air.Tommy SparksWashington State.

I’m a local contractor in the Madison/Chatham area and couldn’t figure out why the typical insulation methods we all use were not enough to fully insulate the addition we completed. I spoke to John in the morning and he was on the job within hours. He went through a variety of technical field checks to locate exactly what the issue was and gave a detailed and helpful explanation of why the original home builder skipped steps and how he could remedy the issue. I can’t recommend these guys enough. And that’s coming from someone in the construction industry. I highly recommend and will be using them for all future insulation projects! A++ all around for these guys!

Doctor Energy Smart are an excellent example of family owned and run business done right.My wife and I spent years prior to finding Doctor Energy Smart looking for a contractor that does injection foam wall insulation. We continually were disappointed with either lack of experienced companies that discouraged us from even considering it or those that found our little house too small of the job.John from Doctor Energy Smart came in for an in-home consultation, did the heat scanning of the house, identified problem areas, and discussed with us various options. He was thorough, professional, and very informative. Once we indicated to John that we wanted to proceed with the work, John provided us with detailed pricing for few scenarios/options. We were specially very thrilled to see Doctor Energy Smart effectively uses more modern day communication tools like email, text, and calendars throughout our exchanges. This is something we are accustomed to expect from corporate and large businesses but often find missing when dealing with small businesses.The day of executing the work took place exactly as John communicated in advance. He came in with one of his workers, did the prep, did the insulation, cleaned the place after they finished and left everything in order.We are very happy to say: this was the best home improvement project my wife and I have experienced since we became home owners. We absolutely love how warm the rooms feel after the insulation work Doctor Energy Smart has done; and cannot recommend it enough to any home owner that is thinking of doing the same. Call John at Energy Doctor, you will be very pleased with the personal and highly professional level of service you get.

We hired John because of all the great reviews I found online, and he took the time to respond to every customer reviews. The first time I called John for my project, he took the time to explain everything, including all the benefits of foam insulation. John and his crew came in and injected foam to all my exterior walls. They cleaned up very nicely in my Bronx NY home.Thanks, JohnPedro I

John I have to say it was a pleasure to deal with you. After a multitude of excuses from your son in-law Jim we had to move on. Best of luck to you! We found a wonderful company in the area who came right out and did a wonderful job on closed cell spray foam.I don’t usually leave negative reviews but you wasted my valuable time.

John personally responded almost immediately to my email request. I was impressed w/ how much time he spent with me on the phone. Spent almost the entire day at my house letting me trail him every where, answering all my questions and then repeating everything to my husband over the phone. Never lost patience with me once.After he left, I noticed he missed a tiny spot. I called John and he immediately said no problem, hed come back in a day or two and fix it. Sure enough, true to his word, he came back patched the tiny area (no additional service charge) and spent another hour answering all our questions - again. Very patient.John never once tried to sell me anything. Instead he helped me prioritize the list of what to attack first; focused on what would make the most noticeable difference. Instead of taking all our money, he told to live in the house for a little bit, and if we still felt we needed it, to call him back for Stage 2. Amazing, never pushed for more business.Best part was that I noticed a difference in temperature immediately.

We requested Doctor Energy Smart to insert foam insulation into the walls of our house. However, they were truthful and told us it was not possible due to the construction. We really appreciated their honesty and it was unfortunate that we could not add insulation this way. Always nice to work with honest contractors and people.John,I upgraded to five stars. I did four stars only because of personal preference (I could not rate the work since unfortunately it could not be done), and definitely nothing against Doctor Energy Smart since it was not their fault. If asked I would recommend you.

I strongly recommend Doctor Energy Smart Insulation for any insulating job that you may need. Johns assessment was focused on getting the best result for my money. He didnt try to sell me services that I didnt need and was thorough in explaining his process and what I could expect. I received a quick quote, scheduling the job was easy and he was ready to perform in only 2 days. The result was professional, and they made sure that the work space looked just like it did before they came. I am very pleased with the results.

John is extremely knowledgeable and looks for every possible solution to your issues.

Review №20

John did a great job! We had most of the work done in the late winter but one part was an outside overhang of a floor where we felt cold coming in and the temperature was too cold in that section to let the foam solidify as needed. So we scheduled him to return when it got warmer and he came back promptly as promised!

Review №21

Doctor John was Great. I came across him by chance while researching soundproofing solutions. I clicked his website, read the information, and was sold already. Still decided to click the reviews and I knew right then and there I had to call the guy. We spoke for about half an hour about my situation. He was as honest as they come. He suggested that since I am a renter that I should try another solution out that was more cost friendly, although he was not pricey at all. If this was any other contractor, they would have never suggested anything for me to do myself and have just charged me but not Doctor John. He sounded sincere and you can just tell he cared from the brief conversation we had. He even told me that if I couldnt do it myself he would give me a hell of a deal. Doctor John If I could give you a higher rating than 5 stars, I would. Thanks again man. And I will be in touch.

I was having a problem with a cold bathroom. After speaking with John I knew he was the right person to help with my problem. He is very knowledgeable and polite. John really takes pride in what he does and it shows by his professionalism. When he arrived at my home he went over a few solutions to help with the cold coming into the bathroom. His team sprayed foam into the walls around the bathtub area to help minimize the cold. To my delight i could tell the bathroom felt warmer. I was able to confirm this later at night as the outside temps dropped. I highly recommend Doctor Energy Smart for any type of insulation needs.

So, for the people that never read the full review...AWESOME work!For the people that read the whole review.My pipes froze on the last Polar vortex. Luckily they didnt burst. I called Dr. John and he gave me some advise about trying to thaw them. He told me to call him when they defrosted, I did and he came right over that day!To my surprise he came ready to work. Within a couple hours he showed me where my problem was and had it fixed. Fast professional service. He wouldnt leave until we were completely satisfied not just with the job but with the cleanup afterword.Thank you Dr. John!!

John is an amazing person to call me across country and take the time to share his knowledge and expertise in soundproofing. The noisy trains and dogs constant barking are driving me insane but John has given me hope to create a peaceful, soundproofed environment.

John was very knowledgeable about the insulation needs that were required for my home, and honest and direct. Foam insulation was installed and the inside base-frame and overhang of the house. He even came back on a little portion that fell short due to it dripping out, he added more to fix it good. I have noticed a big difference in the air coming into the home, I will recommend him to my friends.

John was excellent in spending time with me to explain the difference between insulation and ventilation, and ultimately, he proposed a good long term solution for my attic that would help keep my upstairs cooler/warmer. The team came in on a Sunday morning and was done by the early afternoon. I felt comfortable knowing about the process and the scope of the work before they started. Highly recommend for those seeking better solutions for energy efficiency in their homes.

I spoke with the Dr. on the phone for about 30 minutes about a noise issue I have in my apartment. Dr. John was informative, honest, patient, and straight forward. He answered all of my questions, and gave me his advice. Prior to finding the Doctor, I was told by 3 other companies that cannot help me. John, however, said how he has revolutionized the industry, and that he can solve our problem.I am going to discuss this company with my landlord, and hope that he springs for the insulation in the walls. If he doesnt, Ill wait out my lease, and call the good Doctor when I get my own home. Great company, very professional, and very nice. And, today is their 10 year anniversary! Id say, as a small and family owned business, this company is doing just fine. Just look at the reviews to prove it!!

No other Insulation company, would do the job unless they take down the wall. I thought it was an impossible fit as there was almost no space between the wall and roof. They had a guy crawl in and spray foamed the wall, job looked clean and even all throughout. Highly recommended!!!

Jim came out and sprayed for us while we were remodeling. It was cold (this was some months ago) so there were some issues but he came out again to make sure everything was up to snuff. He and his crew did a great job and they put an emphasis on making sure the customer is satisfied! I plan on using them again which is actually why I googled them and realized I never left a review.

Review №35

I live in a high-rise in Jersey City and my bedroom wall is shared with a studio apartment. It is a plaster wall with no insulation, so sound tends to travel through it very well. I emailed John and he got back to me the same day. After thoroughly going over the process with me, I felt comfortable enough to hire him for his services.They arrived at my apartment, covered all of my furniture and started to drill. The whole process was completed in less than 2 hours. They cleaned everything up and even offered to paint over the holes for me.Im very happy with how easy this process was for me. I would definitely recommend their service.

Doctor Energy Smart was the best choice I ever made for my home! As a new homeowner, I really didnt think to ask my home inspector to look a little deeper to make sure my new home was properly insulated. Well, our first winter is here and not only was it very cold, even with the heat on, there were a ton of little draft spots that I didnt even realize were there until I saw them through the thermal imaging camera. To make a long story short, John came and injected my walls and now my house is so warm. Well worth the investment!

Review №38

My landlord hired John to soundproof a 15X8 bedroom wall because our neighbors are loud at all hours of the night. John even suggested an additional service of injecting foam into our ceiling along the top of that wall because sound can travel over the wall and through the ceiling, He called it flanking. We liked his thorough approach, as he even used a thermal camera to check for the hot foam traveling through the wall.We definitely recommend him for any soundproofing work you need done in any multi unit building.

I have an older house (about 80 years old) and my sun room was very cold because it had 3 exterior walls and a crawl space below. John injected foam into the walls, sprayed foam on the underside of the floor, and sprayed all around the sill plate all along the exterior walls of my house. He also sprayed the foundation walls in the crawl space, which had a lot of cracks and was very drafty, and he did not charge me for that portion of the job because my father is a veteran who served our country and was wounded in Vietnam. I have noticed a huge difference in the temperature of my sun room and am very happy that I can now enjoy it all year long!

My residence is in a condo building. Ever since I changed my floor from carpet to a hardwood floor I started hearing my neighbor’s TV and other noise. John explained to me what he can do and he promised to keep trying until I’m satisfied. He has come back twice now to troubleshoot the source of the noise, but due to the unique construction of my wall he finds it a bit challenging. This challenge didn’t stop him from keeping his promise. After brainstorming with his team he is coming back for the 3rd time with no additional charge.

Review №65

I live in a corner unit in an older building in Hoboken that runs very cold in the winters. Additionally, the only insulation in the walls is a 2” thick piece of styrofoam which clearly was not doing much in a 4” wall cavity. So for the last few winters my heating bill has been sky high. I was searching for energy efficiency solutions, specifically spray foam insulation. I called around 7 contractors, but John of Dr. Energy Smart is the only contractor in the NYC Metro area that can do cavity foam injection without tearing down the walls. We traded calls throughout the week and he took the time to learn more about my unit’s energy inefficiencies before providing and educating me on the solutions. He was very accommodating and was able to schedule a Saturday appointment within 2 weeks of first calling. When John arrived, he identified the weakest points in my unit and determined the most effective approach/which areas to insulate to stay within my budget. He and his crew finished the job in half of a day. John has been great and professional. He has even called to check in on how the unit has been retaining heat. Great contractor, great person.

Prior to John and teams arrival, our early 1900s house suffered from major energy issues. We had several rooms in our house that were freezing cold in the winter and hot and humid in the summer, and our heating and cooling bills were through the roof. John diagnosed the problem to be a result of no / poor insulation in our walls and no barrier around our basement sill. The team did a fantastic job injecting spray foam into our existing mud room, bathroom, hallway and family room walls. The attention to detail and prep work was second to none. John spent hours cleaning our entire basement sill to ensure a clean application of spray foam. I can already tell see our AC usage going down and I really look forward to a warm winter and my boiler getting a much needed break.I highly recommend Dr. Energy Smart for any of your insulation needs. Great value and great service!

We had several contractors come to our apartment and they could not identify the source of noise (they suggested water pipes or other structures). John identified that it was actually the ductwork that was transmitting the sound from the roof of the building to our apartment and saved us a lot of money (the foam insulation would have been useless).We appreciate that he was the most honest soundproofing contractor, and we now finally have proof of the origin of the sound to take evidence to the building administration.

Review №80

The spray foam insulation was the best decision we ever made for our old house!!There was a draft from our basement into our living room that made the room freezing cold! It turns out once the sill in our basement was insulated with spray foam (we previously had fiberglass insulation) and the walls injected, the loss of energy and the difference in room temperature was noticeable!! And once Dr. Energy Smart injected our dining room wall the wind stopped blowing into the house!!!Doing this has also made a our energy bills lower!! Which is something everybody can relate to!!!! I highly recommend Doctor Energy Smart from Kate, John and Jim and everybody else who works with them!! They know what they are doing and work with you.This was one of the BEST things we have done since buying the house in 1989 that was originally built in 1900.

After seasonally high electric bills, we opened up a small hole in the wall and discovered our apartment in Hoboken had no insulation whatsoever. We found John who came in and did measurements and then gave us a great and fair quote to inject foam insulation in our exterior walls. He and Billy did a great job identifying the unusual studs in our walls, injecting foam around them and spackled up every hole. He and Billy cleaned up all of the work and left us extra materials for our use in later projects. Were very happy to now have walls with completed insulation which only took one day to add. Thanks John!

John and his team came to my home that used to be a car garage completely reconstructed but needed insulation and places we could not get to. Excellent service cleaned up nicely and now those specific areas feel much betterok understand

John came in today for an insulation consultation. We have an older home, and he was very knowledgable about the air leakage points in the house and recommended great solutions to create more efficiency in our home. He did a complete walk through and took his time to make sure that we covered every opportunity. He even recommended tips for us to create better seals around our windows. He even suggested waterproofing the bricks in our basement (a major water leakage point) with hydraulic cement. Certainly looking forward to working with Doctor Energy Smart.

John was incredibly helpful and friendly. Only one to come up with a situation for our ventilation issue and he didn’t even charge me. Super thankful!

John went the extra mile to find the root of our soundproofing issues (after others failed to do so) and devised a cost effective solution. He responds quickly, is incredibly knowledgeable and is a pleasure to work with.

In the search for help with my home insulation issues, I came across Doctor Energy on Google and all of their great reviews. I gave them a call and John the owner of this family owned and ran business was a pleasure to work with.I have been dealing with some drafty rooms for quite some time and John helped in explaining in full detail at a great price point just what needed to be done to remediate the problem areas of my home. I couldnt be happier with the solutions John came up with, and how Doctor Energy took the time to make sure they left my home just as clean as when they walked in the door. Now I no longer have the draft in my home I once did. Thank you for the great work! Ive already been recommending Doctor Energy to friends and family who have any insulation issues.¹

You may notice his success stories are about him coming back to fix something HE DIDNT DO RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. Hire this guy if you want to argue with an ARROGANT BULLY to try a beg him to come back to fix his terrible work. Here is the evidence in my pictures. Finally gave up on him ever coming back and had to rip the wall down. Never came back even though I told him several contractors told me there were hollow spaces in the wall. Said that couldnt possibly be true. Almost the entire top of the wall is open, a big hole right in the center and the entire right corner missing. Anyone who knows soundproofing knows that any opening renders the project a failure.

Im planning to insulate my very large basement in a 100 year old house built of brick and cement. . There was significant sound coming through the basement and I couldnt figure out the best way to dampen that.John came in and with some sound equipment and basic tests we determined that the largest problem is sound coming through the metal duct work of the house. He gave me some very inexpensive solutions to help alleviate the issue. He and his partner Dan also did some soundproof caulking and filling some holes and gaps around my vents.Other soundproofing companies would have charged me thousands to diagnose and apply solutions that ultimately wouldnt have gotten a better result than what I received for only $250.

I have suffered for years with a cold, drafty house. It has made my life really miserable. It has affected my health. I have been hardly able to sleep and have lived in a state of exhaustion. And I have tried hard to address this problem, to find a solution. I have worked with contractors I found through the New Jersey Energy Star program and have spent thousands of dollars and gotten no relief.It was my banker who put me in touch with Doctor Energy Smart. He searched the Internet and recommended this company on the basis of its excellent reviews. So I called and started the process.John, the energy doctor himself, did a very thorough investigation of my house. He came with the proper equipment with which to evaluate things. He has, for example, a thermal imaging camera which can take pictures and determine where the leaks are occurring and where the cold is coming in. This may sound like just normal procedure, what you would expect from someone in this business, but other people who came to my house never had this piece of equipment. Someone once recommended a company to me, telling me that they had this special camera, but they didnt. The man who recommended them then tried to get his hands on one himself, but he couldnt.After the doctor did his work I still had problems and he was very obliging about coming back and looking for what other problems there could be. He made a number of other adjustments and didnt charge me for them. I appreciate that kind of dedication.John is a very conscientious man, a very dedicated man. He truly wants his customers to be happy with the results. My house is difficult to get in shape because much of it was done by a retired man as a do-it-yourself project. And John is going back and correcting mistakes that were done probably 60 years ago.This is especially challenging because houses are insulated differently now than they were all those years ago, so working on a house such as mine requires what I guess you would call a historical perspective. You have to be able to understand how they did things two generations ago in order to correct mistakes that were made.In at least two places the outer parts of the vents which deliver the air, the gratings, were put on upside down. Nobody ever realized that and they have been that way all these years. And nobody else who inspected my house, looking for the problem as to why I was so cold, ever picked that up.John put me in touch with a company from Whippany called Air 1 who went over the heating system. (You would of course expect that there were problems with the heating system.) What I really appreciated about Doctor Energy was that he told me that he wanted to be there when the man from Air 1 came. He wanted to be able to point out the problems to him and to learn anything that he could from him. That was a very professional attitude. He also came and oversaw the work that Air 1 did. I take it that he works closely with this company for the benefit of the client.Obviously, all this work is expensive. John is very mindful of that and tries to save the client money by doing the least work necessary to get the desired result. He doesnt try to goad people into spending more money than necessary. He does the most basic things and if you are satisfied, then thats it. But if you arent yet comfortable, then you have to consider what the next step should be. He is very concerned about spending the clients money as wisely as possible.My problems are not yet solved, but I do see a very significant difference as far as the temperature in my house is concerned. There have been real results and I look forward to making even more improvements in the future.

We have really thin walls so we could hear our neighbors children screaming/crying and even when they were talking with indoor voices. Nothing worse than hearing a muffled Michael Clayton movie through the wall. We had John come in to install some spray foam insulation to help dampen the noise. Everything went great with the installation, and so far I havent heard any talking through the wall! There was a small snafu w/ foam entering the neighboring unit since they didnt have one outlet covered, nothing we could have ever known, but John came back the very next day to fix everything for them and handled it professionally. Very happy with how everything was handled and resulting noise reduction.
