We hired Building Doctors to do a sizable energy efficiency upgrade project. This included work in the attic, crawlspace, and major garage work to insulate, control temperature, control sound, etc.We are very happy with the service Dan and Building Doctors provided. The initial consultation was much friendlier and honest than the competition. We felt much more secure with Dan's knowledge and the quality of his initial assessment.The project expanded as we decided we wanted to do more work than originally planned in the garage. They were accommodating and the project rolled out smoothly.

I want to tell everyone how happy I'm about the Building Doctors. We just participated in the Energy Upgrade California Program threw LA County and received $8500 towards my homes energy upgrades. Our heater and air conditioner where 20 years old and not doing the job that they use to do and our bills where going threw the roof (literally since the it turned out my ducts where leaking over 40%). So I found the Building Doctors after seeing them and Energy Upgrade California featured on my NBC newscast.I explained to Dan what was happening at my home and he was so knowledgeable and spent a considerable amount of time explaining to me building science and how the Building Doctors Whole House approach differed from other contractors. Since I'm a senior citizen I found the time he spent with me very informative and reassuring which put me at ease .With the Whole House approach we ended up using a much smaller and efficient heating and cooling unit than what we use to have, which seems counter intuitive since our home was not comfortable with a much larger system. The Whole House approach requires that we air seal and insulate so that we can get away with using a much smaller unit. Dan can explain the Whole House Approach much better than I can.The Building Doctors crews where very knowledgeable, friendly as well as very respectful of my property since much time and effort was taken before the job began to protect my home, furniture and personal belongings. My job was completed on time and within budget to boot.I cant get over how uncomfortable I was and didn't even realize it until I got my new home back. I had to write this review after our last heat wave. My home performed marvelously even though it was in the ninety's. I opened the windows in the early morning for an hour (like Dan advised me) and then closed them before the heat hit. The result was my cooling system didn't turn on until after 5 when the interior temperature hit 76. Wow, what a difference the old system would have been on ALL DAY. My rooms on the South side of my home where unbearable and now they are the same temperature as the rest of the house. It's like I have a new home and I'm so happy since I spend most of my days at home.Thank you Building Doctors for making my home comfortable all year long and saving me money on all my utility bills.

Dan and his professional team did a terrific job of making our home much more energy efficient. We love our home (built in 1927), but it was drafty, cold in the winter and simply energy inefficient. After the extensive work Building Doctors did, our home was re-invented. Our tutor style home now is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with LOWER utility bills! Go figure! Dan's team was very professional, always informative in what they were doing and very respectful of our home. My wife and I would recommend Building Doctor's to anyone.

It's now been over two years since Building Doctors did a complete overhaul of our house. They started with a 3-hour detailed check in response to my request to help with my ineffective AC. Other contractors walked through the house for 15 minutes and told me I needed a unit twice the size. BD concluded their investigations and told me my current unit was fine, but I needed insulation and new ducting. They did it all. They were punctual every day, clean to a fault, and called when there were unexpected changes along the way. They were flexible, adding work that I requested as the job progressed (e.g. installing LED light fixtures throughout), and always did top notch work. There were no surprises on the bill, which was not cheap, but entirely worth it. They did all the rebate paperwork and I just had to deposit the check when it came. After two+ years, the work they did is still superb. I cannot say enough about how much more comfortable the house is. Before the work, our AC couldn't get it below 80 on a SoCal scorcher. Now, the house will retain the morning cool until well in to the afternoon. Dan and his crew are probably the best contractors I have ever worked with.

This is the second time we have used Building Doctors. I just moved into a new place and the heating and air conditioning system was not working correctly. We had them perform one of their energy audits and we found our so much more that the home inspector did. They quickly fixed the issue with the HVAC system while we review our options on the other work through the Energy Upgrade CA rebate program. Great and informative energy audit report.

I had my HVAC system replaced along with new insulation, new bathroom heaters, new ductwork and a new hydronic water heater. Needless to say this was a large job with a lot of moving parts. I can’t say enough good things about Building Doctors, they made my house state of the art in terms of comfort and energy efficiency. They always made my job a priority, none of that disappearing for days like I have experienced with other contractors. They were very professional, knew their stuff and made sure to leave my house as tidy as possible considering the magnitude of the work. They helped me complete the paperwork to qualify for rebates which was much appreciated. It has been 4 years since the job was completed and the system still works beautifully. I have continued with them for maintenance on the system and they have always been friendly, professional and prompt. Recently the Department of Water and Power in Pasadena came out to do an inspection of my system as part of a program they have to cut energy usage. When I told them I had used Building Doctors to install the system they commented that they have done “A lot of work with them and they are top of the line.” I couldn’t agree more.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dan in person when I was interviewing contractors for my remodel of a 1100 sq ft old residential 1920es Spanish duplex side. There was a lot of work needed to be done and I could not have made a better choice than by selecting Building Doctors - also one of the few companies that work with energy efficient loans programs which was a huge help for my project. Dan and his crew were professional, communicative and were there to help me with any problem that I had in the way. I have interviewed close to 20 contractors and from the getgo his estimate was the most thorough: broken down to hours per project and cost of labor and materials. I highly reccomend Building doctors and God Bless.

Dan and The Building Doctors did extensive surgery on my house! It's a 1923 Spanish (no insulation). The BDs gave me new Heating and AC, full insulation in the attic, walls, crawlspaces etc.. My electric/gas bills are substantially lower but most importantly, my house remains at a comfortable temperature all the time and I rarely use the AC/Heat. Previously, it would be unbearably hot in the summer (even with the AC on full blast) and when it was cold outside, the heat would have to run 24/7 since it escaped almost immediately upon turning off the furnace. Their crew was great... very respectful of my belongings. I was able to take advantage of the Energy Upgrade California Program. Dan and his staff handled most of the paperwork. I am a REALTOR, so I am constantly asked for referrals. I have and will highly recommend the Building Doctors.

Building Doctors did an energy audit of our 1940s house, reducted, reinsulated and installed an entirely new HVAC system--two actually--for our 5000 s.f. property. I can't recommend them highly enough. The house is strange, with big gaps in the roof that needed to be insulated, an unconventional layout, and some unpleasant surprises (a dead rat in the uptake vent; 60 years worth of rat feces raining down on the workers). The most important thing to know about Dan Thomsen is that he is very smart, committed to doing what makes the most sense logically, financially, and environmentally, and governed by integrity. We spent more than we would have with another contractor, who recommended that we only reduct the top floor "because the bottom floor is a big pain" and I know that in the long run we will have saved not just money but regret for not having taken the right path from the start. That said, Dan also knew where we could save money, and COMPLETELY HANDLED the energy rebate from the government. Who does that?! (Check came directly to us, but he did *all* paperwork and the city inspector who came to evaluate the job told me that Building Doctors' work always gets approved, which he said was not true for most of the jobs he inspected. A rare, excellent, responsible contractor. You won't be disappointed.

We have the distinct pleasure of knowing Dan Thompsen and his team as part of the national home performance community. Amongst the thousands of contractors around the country doing this kind of energy efficiency upgrade work, Building Doctors is one of the most passionate, committed, and quality oriented companies in this business. They are deeply knowledgable about building science and vigilant about producing results that make people's homes more efficient, less costly to operate, way more comfortable to live in, and ultimately more valuable.

Building Doctors did an energy audit on my home and found a bunch of problems. They used some modeling software to see where my money was best spent. They insulated and air sealed my home and now it is more comfortable than it has ever been. They even have the great service trucks.Thanks Building Doctors!

I originally called the Building Doctors to insulate my home because of the temperate swings in my home. After one of their energy auditors came by and checked out everything I learned how important is was to air seal the home first. I had a few insulation companies come by and none of them even mentioned air sealing.

Building Doctors were GREAT!! We had a leaky HVAC unit and the Building Doctors fixed it in 30 minutes. These guys really know what they're doing. Now we use them for anything "energy" related.
