Efficiency Kansas may soon be out of money; state reallocates funding
Efficiency Kansas was supposed to be a revolving loan program with 34m in funding from the stimulus.

These guys rock! They went above and beyond my expectations- fast, reliable, and very professional. I called several places and they were by far the only choice. Luke and his team educated me on my options, gave their recommendation, and there was no heavy pressure to move forward. If you are reading this review, I cannot think of one reason why you wouldn't give them a call to see if they can help!read more

Luke and his team did an outstanding job with all of the above! Knowledgeable, professional and they did a great job cleaning up the work site. Everyone was very friendly and the estimate for the work was less than other companies. I will definitely be referring them to friends and family!read more

I called and spoke to Luke about his company, and what he could possibly do to my house to make it more energy efficient. He sent out 2 very nice guys, who did a survey of the house and came up with some things they could do to greatly improve the efficiency of the house. He hooked up some kind of vacuum seal on the front door, and showed me how much air was leaking around the house. He looked at the attic to check the insulation, and it was deficient as well. Sean sent me a very detailed report, with pictures, and gave me his suggestions along with the prices. He also told me that he would file all of the rebates for me (which helped take care of a chunk of what it cost). I haven't received a utility bill yet, but can already tell the difference in the house when I turn the furnace on. I think the house is pretty tight! I had them foam the rim joists in the basement, did the whole home air seal and added much needed insulation. A KCP&L inspector came by when they were almost done, and checked their work. He said that he's very familiar with the company and they always do a great job. I was very impressed, and would encourage anyone that is wanting to save money on utilities and have a more energy efficient home to contact them. They were A+read more

Great service! They performed a comprehensive energy audit that showed how much energy we were losing in our 1996 built house. Green Improvement did new blow insulation in the attic, added board insulation around our two coldest rooms upstairs and sealed all areas around vents, wiring and can lights. They did the same with sealing our basement walls and fixed the seals with our front and back doors. The change in energy consumption was immediate. Our house is now warm everywhere and the drafts are gone! It's like going outside on a cold day in a winter parka instead of a windbreaker. They also take photos of all areas in need of work and take before and after images. The entire insulation project took about 6 hours. I highly recommend.read more

I discovered the ducts in my garage were not insulated. I called Green Improvement with a few questions and to get a quote. They were very responsive and thorough answering all my questions and the quote was very reasonable. I scheduled an appointment. While waiting for the appointment I had a couple more questions. Again, they were quick to respond and thorough. They arrived on time and completed the job in a professional, timely manner. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family!read more

The GIC team was very prompt and knowledgeable. They were very neat and cleaned up well after themselves. We had our attic insulated and foam sprayed on rim joist and basement crawlspace. We noticed the house to be much quieter immediately. So glad we had this done in January before the -22 degree temperatures hit. Can't wait to see the effect on summer air conditioning bills.read more

We are so happy with our insulation installation services and energy efficiency updates with Green Improvement Consulting. Sean was very professional and so accommodating. He was patient with my crazy schedule and showed us different ways to address the energy issues in our very old home. He carefully listened to our needs and helped us find exactly what we were looking for.
The technicians who came out and installed the insulation were so nice and careful in their work. Our home was finally WARM in the winter and our pipes no longer froze in the kitchen. Sean even checked back to make sure everything was in great working order and to ensure that our expectations had been met.
If you are in need of energy improvements and insulation for your home, I highly recommend this team. I am a teacher on a budget and they were able to work with me and find me something I could afford through various grants and homeowner programs. They didn't try to push anything I did not need and they were prompt and skilled with their service. Definitely give them a call - you won't regret it!read more

Our air conditioner was struggling to keep up in the summer months. Our house is 50 some years old. The insulation had settled. It was recommended we have new insulation blown and it has made a world of difference both for winter and summer for our electric bill and gas bill. They were fast efficient and did an amazing job!read more

MyGreenKC performed an energy audit of our 100+ year old home with a focus on air flow between the floors. The photos they shared with me showed several areas where insulation would reduce the mixing of air between floors. They ultimately insulated the attic, spaces between the 2nd and 3rd floors, walls on the 3rd floor, and the seams between 1st floor and basement ceilings. They were able to reduce air flow by 50%. Our 3rd floor feels completely different; we used to have occasional issues with humidity that have pretty much disappeared. Overall the house is cooler without having to use more energy, as we are not loosing air in walks and floors. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to tighten up the envelope in their home!read more
