Four attempts to contact over the period of a month. 3 calls, 1 email. No response, ever. Seriously?

These guys are great. I needed duct replacement. Called them and Jon came out the next day and quoted me that day. Quote is the lowest, I checked everybody else. I saved over $ 800 based on the next best quotes. Jon came out today and did the job in 4.5 hours, in the ice. Thank you, Jon. You are the best.
Watch out for these «energy guys» and others that try to offer city discounts but over inflate their prices based on rebates or trying to oversell you things you may not need.

I called John at Conservation Specialists based upon the positive views on Unilocal,and I was glad that I did. I have never had any problems with my vents until a critter did some damage in the crawl space of my house. John was very professional and communicative. In addition, he’s a really nice guy — we ended up spending 20 mins just shootiing the breeze and talking about our families. I will use him again!

We hired Jon to do the required energy efficiency upgrades to our home to qualify for the Austin Energy rebate for installing solar panels on our roof.
Jon was knowledgeable, always on time and sensitive to cost. He was very thorough and didn’t overlook any detail in completing the work.
Working with Jon was a delight and I highly recommend him

We were getting a few proposals for performing the required energy efficiency upgrades to qualify for the solar photovoltaic system rebates. When Jon from conservation Specialists came over to give an estimate, he was confident that just the duct sealing was necessary and the attic insulation was fine, while all the other companies had recommended even the attic insulation. We were impressed not only by Jon’s knowledge and confidence that attic insulation was fine and would pass the inspection, but their pricing was also very reasonable.
The quality of the work performed was also good, Jon and 1 other person came over to do the duct sealing and were quite diligent and responsible. Jon said they had to walk over some of the attic insulation to reach the ducts, but he leveled it out afterwards to maintain the evenness.
I would definitely recommend Jon for any energy efficiency work, at least to meet with him once to get the proposal and understand his judgement.
Not to mention Jon personally came over and handed us a check for $ 50 when we forgot to present the Unilocal voucher we bought earlier.
Great customer service before and after the work is performed!

Jon and his company were the third ones to give me a quote on redoing all my duct work and doing some sealing around the house. My ducts were shot but also difficult to get to. He was the first one to crawl up into the tight spaces and thoroughly investigate the work that needed to be done. When he quoted a fair price to boot and was knowledgeable about the City of Austin and Texas Gas rebates, I knew he was the right one for the job.
The work happened just as he said it would. This company communicates with and takes care of its customers. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat.

Conservation Specialists are a MUST!
I had several bids from competing companies to perform an energy audit on my home and bring my heating/​cooling efficiency into the 21st century. Jon did an excellent job! Not only was the price outstanding (and by far better than the competition), but they worked through all of the rebate documentation and were here to review the work with the City inspector.
The work was done fast and very effectively. The crew was very courteous and professional. No one tried to upsell me or convince me to buy things that I did not need. Jon was honest, up front, and very knowledgeable about energy efficiency and what my needs were.
I’m giving Conservation Specialists 5 stars, because 6 stars is not an option.
Thanks Jon and Conservation Specialists!

STUDIO CITY, CA
After reading through a lot of A/​C company reviews here on Unilocal,I called out about 5 companies to give estimates. Jon was by far the most knowledgeable and the nicest. He gave me a good estimate and then proceeded to let me know about the city rebates and which ones would work for my job. I was looking to just get my Duct work replaced.
Jon and his crew came out and knocked the job out in a day. They did a great job and gave me some recommendations on a few other things I might want to do later to help reduce my electric bill.
Once the job was complete Jon scheduled the appointments for the city inspectors to come out and get approval for the rebates. If you are looking for a good A/​C company then definitely give Jon and his crew a call.

Jon did an outstanding job sealing and insulating my house. He walked me through the Austin Energy Power Saver rebate program, arranged the necessary inspections, performed the work himself (with most able help from Carlos). He followed our agreement to the letter demonstrating that he conducts his business with honesty and integrity.
I interviewed three subcontractors for my home energy project and Conservation Specialists really is a no-​brainer! –tell him Cynthia sent you.

We knew we had a problem when the mice couldn’t find enough insulation in our attic to build a home.
The experience couldn’t have been much better… The team couldn’t have been nicer, the work was done quickly and done well, and we’ll save a sh*t-ton of cabbage going forward.
These guys are good and deliver on what they say they will.

I own a duplex built in the mid 80s that had never had its attic ducts serviced, cleaned or anything. I was aware that the ducts were ripped up, almost opened up and in bad shape. This was causing less airflow, and higher AC bills than I should have been paying. A few weeks ago, I was told by my AC repair man that I had signs of mold growing inside the ducts. It was true, some of the ducts were covered with nasty, harmful black mold.
That same week, I called up a few air duct replacement companies. CSA was the first company to respond to my email (within a few hours). After speaking to Jon during the evening, we set a time to come see the place the next morning.
He not only did the most thorough ‘estimate’ than any of the other people who came to see the home, he was the fastest to respond, be here, and was also the most reasonably priced (much cheaper than what AC companies charge for duct replacement).
Within a day or so after giving me an estimate, he came one morning and completed the whole work within 2 – 3 hours. So far, it seems like it was done fantastically and my AC feels cooler, and the air feels cleaner (new ducts versus 26 year old dusty/​moldy ducts!).
He didn’t try to upsell any services I didn’t need, or any special tools, or anything. All he did was do a great job and give me some money saving tips (without selling me products) while doing it.
Plus, I got a nice handwritten note from him in the mail a few days later. You don’t see that anymore!
Great service, very honest guys, I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for duct work.
