Insulate your house 75.00

[kingjason]

Ok going to edit this once more. A member here named Daywork seams to be the go to guy now. He can hook you up big time on insulation and other energy saving items on your house. The less insulation your house has the more he saves you.

Daywork is his screen name.

Dave is his name

817-913-4394 is his number. Call him you wont regret it.

Now read down to see how this all got rolling and he is not MD energy service.

Just thought about this from reading another post. Md energy service will bring your house up to a much higher R rating or so for 75.00. House has to be built in 80's-90's and have poor insulation. I have done this to my house and at least 15-20 people I know. I will try to find the number tonight. Was a smoking deal. Oncore made a huge profit and its their way of giving back.

My last edit.

I am just trying to help some of you out. I don't know this guy personally I just know that everyone I know has had this done. It knocked my electric bill down 165.00 dollars last month and my a/c / heat does not run near as much. I cant remember the exact criterias but I know for sure 80-90's house with low insulation levels and I think the 80's -90's thing was just saying hey not a new house. I cant imagine they wouldnt do houses before the 80's. Oncore will call you back and may want to visit and verify your insulation level. I cant remeber the exact R rating either I just know they pumped a lot into mine.

[kingjason]

MD energy service 469-487-6117. Its not a low income thing either someone asked me somewhere else because of the web site. Oh and houses pretty much built 90's and back. They do all sorts of gov /txu sponsered services through out the year. Windows, plugs, sealing your a/c box. just depends on the season.

[openroadracer3]

do you have to be a TXU customer or can a Reliant customer qualify?

[KJ94GT]

This almost sounds too good to be true.

[kingjason]

I was corected by my buddy. Oncor puts on the program and everybody gets enrgy from them they are the broker.

[bcoop]

House has to be built in 80's-90's and have poor insulation.


Oh and houses pretty much built 90's and back.

So which is it? If it's just pre-90's I qualify. If it's 80-90, I don't.


I was corected by my buddy. Oncor puts on the program and everybody gets enrgy from them they are the broker.

So it doesn't matter who your electric provider is? I'm with Reliant, but will damn sure take advantage of it if I can.

[lwk2]

Man I gotta call them !
I got a 60s vintage house - insulation in it sux !

[Grant]

I called them. The automated message said you could leave name, address, city, zip code and contact number and they'll call you back OR go to www.MDEnergyservice.com and sign up.

So far, it appears to be legit.

[kingjason]

Like I said I waited a week or so and then boom he hit me and three others in my neighborhood then went and did my moms house and her friends. Which now that I am thinking about it was built in the 70's so that answers that I guess.

[STANGGT40]

i clicked "contact us" and asked for them to call me about their service. if they'll come over and do my house for $75, i'm all over it...i did a rent-house myself and it cost me close to $300, but i put a ton of insulation in that place.

[stephen4785]

So is this just the spray in stuff they spray all over the attic? Iv already got that done but Im pretty sure my walls have jack crap for insulation. Anyone know if there are any alternatives other than ripping down the sheet rock and putting in new insulation in the walls?

[Big Studly]

you would get a better bang for your buck by doing something with your windows (tint, shade, low E glass, double pane filled with argon). Roof and windows are the worst places for heat gain in a building.

[Doug Hatton]

Did I not just read something on their site that indicates that you have to be below a certain income level in order to have this service done? Or am I looking in the wrong spot??

[slow06]

Oncor owns the poles/wires and reads your meter no matter who your electric provider is, so this should apply to everyone. They are formerly TXU Electric Delivery.

[kingjason]

Not a low income thing. My LT makes mundo bucks and everyone on his street got this done.

[BP]

I had this done a couple of years ago under TXU and my house was built in 1969. It's more than just insulation, they'll wrap pipes, change lightbulbs, seal windows, etc...

[Nate]

Oncor owns the poles/wires and reads your meter no matter who your electric provider is, so this should apply to everyone. They are formerly TXU Electric Delivery.
That is not entirely true. TNMP has some spots around DFW as well, but Oncor is the biggest TDSP in DFW.

[bcoop]

Just signed up for it online. I'll let everyone know what they say when they call me back. Says I will get a call within 72 hours.

[jims93lx]

Wow, so you pay $75 and they'll come insulate your house.

[turbopaez]

Damn I just spent 300 to do mine this past weekend but I used atticat...

[Tyrone Biggums]

Shit yeah, let us know. Now I'm kind of interested and I know you won't sugarcoat the experience.

[bcoop]

and I know you won't sugarcoat the experience.



:D That's what I'm here for. :D

I stand corrected.

Ditto that. Damnit but it would be nice if this pans out...

[jewozzy]

yup i signed up as well. i've got insulation on the floor of my attic but nothing sprayed on the top where the roof is maybe this is what i need.

edit: and even that on the floor isn't much.

[Doug Hatton]

well, I guess we ALL signed up then! LOL!

[Fox466]

If this is a company that gets paid by the government to do as many houses as they can, I'm opening a new business tomorrow. Damn but what a sweet gig...

I don't know how much of the funding comes from the govt, but I see your point and would have to agree.

[jims93lx]

Keep us ALL posted. IF its legit, I want in.

[Barbie]

I'm interested, can you pay by credit card?

[Pro88LX]

I'm interested, can you pay by credit card?

you don't have 75 bucks cash? LOL!!!

I think its cash or check. YOu doubtful bastards should all by me some beer when this happens lol.

the official oncor site shows the program to be for low income families.


Low-Income Weatherization Program – This program encourages the installation of energy efficiency measures in a consumer's home whose annual household income is at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.

I think you are right. It'll be interesting to see what non qualifying people get out of having them come by.

[Vertnut]

I figured there was a hook somewhere. It's expensive to have someone do that work.

[bcoop]

<---Not low income by any stretch of the imagination. Still no phone call from MDES. No worries though, I signed up yesterday and the website said 72 hours. I just didn't think it would actually take them 72 hours.

Shit, they probably have folks lined up like a bitch for that deal. If it takes that long to return a call, I wonder about the turnaround time to actually get it done.

[wade_racing]

they probably wait till they have several houses in an area and knock them all out at once... sames on trips and gas to hit several in a day.

[Chritaka]

My house was built in '81 and know it could use some insulation updates. I just signed up, I'll post up what I find out.

[DaisyDoesDallas]

I just sent the website to my sister and she is signing up so I will let you know what happens with her. That is a great deal! Bummer my house was built in the 00's! Thanks for the info!

[kingjason]

If they call you back in 72 hours I will be impressed unless he has added another truck. When I called and left my message it told me about a week. So about a week later the phone rang and they had several people in my area lined up. He wanted to come out the next day and I was off so it worked out well.

[kingjason]

Hey Daisy all houses built 2000 and up are suppossed to have the proper insulation due to newer building codes.

[centexchick]

Hey Daisy all houses built 2000 and up are suppossed to have the proper insulation due to newer building codes.

Yeah, unless you live in the county and there are not any real inspectors (house built in 00 and barely has any insul. at all).

[wade_racing]

our house was built in 2000 as well and if you go look at the insulation it sits level with all the 2x6 studs for the ceilings... so we have 6" of insulation in the whole house. i plan on adding about 12" of blow in depending on how these people work out. they will do newer construction you just dont qualify for the low income stuff from what they said.

[Barbie]

OK, where on that link do I sign up

[KJ94GT]

I haven't been contacted either and it's been over a week.

[Barbie]

any new info?

[kingjason]

I dont know about the internet sign up thing. Everyone I know that had it done called the number and left a message. Hell they may be swamped. I wish I woulda kept his cell number I would call and see what the deal was. He calls on it the morning of to let you know where they are.

How far do those blowers shoot? I think the only part I actually need to get in the attic for, is my garage. I assume the rest I can stand on the ladder and spray it around.


Regardless, it shouldn't be too terribly bad. A few years back I helped my father cut, fit, and secure 2" thick foam board insulation in between the rafters on his roof in August. I think I can handle it. ;)


I'm perfectly content, thank you very much. :D

The guys I use have a machine that's good for 10-12'. Depending on how big your place is, you won't need to move around a whole lot. Just stay on the joists' and don't fall through the ceiling. I'd take it up to 16" or so, and you will notice a difference. Also, get some good caulk, and check all the windows, doors, and thresholds for light/air leaks. New door gaskets on an older home can make a big difference for just a little money.

[Car-less Chris]

i got someone for all of ya'll to call...his name is david work and his # 817-465-9990...energy program through you utility provider pays for it...trust me guys call him this is his forte!!! its free..just say you heard from me car-less chris!

[UtHiNkUgOtMe]

This program is to help low income families lower their energy bills.

There a (2) different services offered
1. Attic insulation, Up to a R30 of insulation(just adding to what you have already)
2. Weatherization, Sealing air ducts, return air box, windows, doors, wrapping water heaters, pipes, and changing light bulbs(to compact florecents)(sp)

Every contractor on this program can choose to charge/or not charge for any of their services.

Oncor does pay for all,(if you qualify) or a percentage of work done.(depending if monies being paid by program covers contractors charge for service)

The way this breaks down is,

Insulation

1. You must make less than 200% below the federal poverty level.
Size of family------------------Annual Income
(1)-------------------------------20,420
(2)-------------------------------27,350
(3)-------------------------------34,340
(4)-------------------------------41,300
(5)-------------------------------48,280
Each additional person add 6,980 to annual income.

2. You don't have a Heat Pump air conditioning system
(easiest way to tell is if your thermostat says "emergency heat" on it.)

3. You don't have over 4 inches of insulation.

4. You don't have gas in your home.

5. House built before year 2000

Weatherizations

The only things to qualify for free is that the air ducts be run in the attic, and that the return be able to be sealed.

If you make too much money you won't have your light bulbs replaced.

Hope this can answer some of your questions, and if I can help anyone LMK.

I think I'm just going to suck it up and do it myself.
Same here....


Ill probably just pick up the limit(its either 15-20 bags and the machine rental is free) and do it myself...

I spread about 6 bags over the garage last year by hand, and it wasnt bad, but the machine will sure go faster/spread better and reach places I dont want to crawl....

[Fox466]

I was more interested in someone getting their ass up there and resealing all of my hard ducts. I can spray the hell out of it no problem but want no part of the pain in the ass that is re-wrapping duct work.


Anyone want to make a little cash? :D

If you have attic over most of your house...you will want way more than 20 bags. I did some calculating for our house...there is 1600sq ft of attic space with 8" of existing... To add another 10" of cellulose, we needed 93bags...that brings it up to a R45....which is what is recommended by the government.

Looks like my dad gave the guys at Efficient Attic a go ahead... Radiant barrier, 10" of insulation and 10 soffit vents are coming. Im going to get some attic temps before and after on relatively equal days.

[Daywork]

I am a contractor for the Oncor program. I was the Contractor Oncor used for the Fox new and channel 8 new program. I've been on the front page on the Brownwood paper.

This is NOT only for low-Income
Your home must be built before 2002
You must use Oncor lines. You can have Stream, green Mountain and any other electic company. It just can't be a co-op.

A few things I do..

Attic Insulation.. Yes sometimes I do this at NO-Cost. Sometimes I do have to charge, it all depends on how much insulation you have in your attic.

Duct efficiency.... This is where I run a test on your duct work. If you have any leaks in the duct work I will find them and fix them for you at NO CHARGE.

Weather stripping... I run a test on your home to see how leaky it may be. You may need new door weatherstripping around the doors, insulation pads behind the outlets and switches, windows weatherstripped. If needed I do all that also at NO COST to you.

You may even get free CFL's ( compact florescent lightbulbs ).


If you have any questions, call me on my cell phone. 817-91-4394
or if any of you guys goto Kennedale on Thursdays or Sundays, I'll be in the 04 Cobra :)

Sorry about not leaving my whole #. But I see its posted now.

For those that left a message. I should have called back and at least left a message if I didn't talk to you.

Prices for attic insulation.. Its all different. Its not only on your income, its also based on how much insulation you have, how you heat your home ( gas or elec ).

Easiest thing to do is call me on my cell phone 817-913-4394. I will try to explain everything to you.

I did a news clip with channel 5 and 8. I will find the link and post it here. It will show you the work I do.

Give me a call, I'll take look at your attic and I'll be able to weatherstrip the doors for ya. 817-913-4394

Attics are all different, The price depends on how much insulation you have in your attic, if you heat your home with Gas or Elec, and on your income.

Osiris had 0 insulation in his attic, TXU pays me the best price for attics that have 0 insulation. Osiris should see about a 30% savings on his heating and AC bills.

Interesting. I deleted this post because of some of the morons posting on it. How it got revived who knows.

I told many of you that the guy I knew was going to run out of his funding by around June so who knows.

If you do not have anything nice to say or want to correct my spelling etc etc then get off my thread or I will keep deleting it. I am glad to see this thread has helped some. Like I said I know the guy was for real and there was no low income stipulation at first. I also know he did an ass load of houses for me and people I know and it was a flat fee of 75.00. I also told everyone to call the number as all of my friends did. Not register on the web site. Thats great that daywork has come on and picked up the slack.

He may have thought the funding was going to end, and it did a couple of times. But Oncor keeps putting money in.

I'd just leave it alone, so other people can see this new guy's number and such. I guess a new thread could be posted, but why?

For the record - I left your guy a message as well as registered on the website. No return email, phone call, nothing. I think I'm justified in letting people know that he doesn't return calls. And as for your comment on "I said call him, not register on his website" Sorry man, but that's horseshit. If you have a webpage, with a place to register for information or a phone call, you should use it. That I said call him" crap really isn't an excuse for someone trying to run a profitable business. You know what I mean?

Yeah I have no idea what happened to the other guy. pretty freakin weird but who knows.

No isues about you saying the guy didnt call you back, hell thats good to know. I know he called a few back on here but somewhere his price doubled. Still cheap but not what my flyer says.

Either way good deal on the new guy coming in.

I don't know how is was doing it for a flat $75. Don't get me wrong you can do it, but only if everyone has elec heat and were low income. If a home has 2-4 inches of insulation, heats the home with GAS and in not low income... TXU will only pay the contractor .09 cents per sqft... AVG size home is 1500 sqft, So TXU would pay us $135.00. It take atleast 15 bags to insulate this home = $240.00 plus you still have to pay your workers, say thats $100. So it will cost the contractor $340.00 to insulate this home ( at NO profit ), 340.00 - 135 (TXU pay) = the contractor loses $205.00. I don't know anyone that can stay in business doing that.

What I'm trying to say is. I will give the best prices I can, but I can't do it and lose money.

[Daywork]

hmmm im going to give this guy a call for my mom. so he does all those tests?? i know when the ac is on the door wont close with just a push. you have to slam it, like the house is pressurized when the unit is on. plus with the leak in the ceiling im thinking the vents might not be sealed correctly.

[bcoop]

Figure roughly $.30/sq ft. That does NOT include any discounts that are available dependent on the factors below.

Everyone will be different, though. It depends on your several factors.

1) Total square footage.
2) How much insulation you already have.
3) Whether your furnace is gas or electric.
4) Whether or not you are low income.


I won't be back until tomorrow, but I have talked to the wife and she is THRILLED! Considering the total cost to have it done, was only about $30 higher than my highest electric bill last summer, I think it will be well worth it and we will see a noticeable difference in our electricity bill.


I can tell you this much. Since spring my tstat setting hasn't budged from 72. It's not even July yet, and when I get home from work (5 pm) the temp has risen to 80/81 degrees. The wife walked in at about 5 today, and it was 69 degrees in the house. Just thought I'd let you guys know. I haven't even been there to experience, and I'm already satisfied. Thanks David!

[Mustangman_2000]

Sucks for me.

I contacted Tony Thompson the head of the Texas New Mexico Residential SOP today. There is currently no contractor available for the city of Lewisville. He suggested I contact him again a couple of weeks because there may be something negotiated by then.

I guess I'll just keep on waiting. I'm really looking forward to getting this done ASAP. My insulation is only 8" in some areas.

Has anyone had any experience with that spray on aluminum for your attic roof? It's supposed to really help with heat rejection

[wesman]

Hrmm...that'd be ~$1k for me....I think I'll do solar screens first for close to the same money.....the sun gets hot coming in the back windows in the evening.

I had a guy come out and give me an estimate on radiant barrier a while back. He gave me his estimate, and we sat around bullshitting for half an hour or so. The guy was VERY honest, and told me that the best bang for the buck is going to be adding insulation. Then to go with solar screens. Then radiant barrier, and solar attic vents or ridge vents.


Granted I didn't have much insulation to start with. That's just where he said I'd notice the most difference.

Huh? I thought your provider has nothing to do with it? I'm not with TXU. Nor does TXU have anything to do with it. The program is sponsored by Oncor.

Hmm...that's very interesting. I was told that since my provider is Texas-New Mexico he can't do the work for me. I also called the rep. for the Texas-New Mexico program and he told me there is no contractor available for Lewisville. I was told to check back in a couple of weeks. :confused:

Hell, I even called Efficient Attic Systems and they told me there are no available rebates for TNPE customers, only for TXU customers. Oh, and their pricing is laughable.

I did find out that my attic is certified at R30, but that is a fabrication on the part of the builder. R30 is supposed to be 12", but mine is 8" and even 5" over my master bath. I doubt my attic even qualifies at R22.

Called David, have appt on the 20th, will report back with results, there probably won't be a whole lot of change, my house was built in 92 so is fairly well insulated, but we will see.

Oncor delivers the electric. TXU is the Utility company. I use to be.. TXU and TXU electric delivery.

Tex-New Mexico is just like TXU, They create thier own energy.

You can have stream, Green Mountain and any other provider as long as that provider buys the energy from TXU. People that live in Lewisville buy thier energy from Tex-New Mex.. Does that make sense?

David's guys came out to my folk's place on Wednesday, completely professional and were in and out in about an hour. Not sure about energy savings so far, the old house had 0 insulation in it, now has R-30. Before, at about 6 pm it would get up into the 80's inside the house with the ac going full blast, now it's staying at or below 75* all day long. If you want this done, David is the guy to talk to, he came to Waco just to do one house! I tried to get him another house but they didn't have enough insulation to get that house plus all the others done.

[Blue90LXSupercharged]

I have an appointment on July 9th with David's Company. Nice guy on the phone. I will post up with results after insulation install. I had to remove about half the insulation from my house. damn raccoons, cats and a few possum have spent some time in the attic. Cleaning that shit up was tough. took me 6 days about 2 hours at a time to remove it all.

Do you just take a ruler and push it down into the insulation until you hit the ceiling?

I have a house made in 93 and it really doesn't hold air too well...honestly I don't think my single AC unit (for a 2 story) can get it below 75* in the day.

Just called David......said carless chris sent me. He is coming out on a Saturday. My Attic is as big as my living area including all rooms minus the kitchen and garage. I literally could make it into a 1900 sq. ft. game room or a second story. I know I definitely need some windows sealed and some weather stripping replaced. I measured the insulation and it ranges from 5" to 8" depending. We will see!!

that's exactly what you do. David and his guys even left a few in my attic for me to keep track of it dropping or not.

[Daywork]

Hay thanks C-L C. Davids phone has been "not in service" every time I'v called. His "mail box" might be so full it is about to explode tho. :eek:



Just went threw all my messages. My mail box is empty now. I did have 1 message, last four of the number is 9649.. I didn't get the name. Maybe that was you.

Anyway, give me a call. If I don't answer that means I'm in a attic, but I promise to call back.


Thanks

Hay, thanks D W. I had the WRONG no. so its good I didn't get an answer !!!

glad ya'll got it worked out..

[Mustangman_2000]

Ok....I had the Texas/New Mexico Contractor (ACoolerHouse.com) for the Oncor program come out and conduct an audit. The only rebate I qualified for was a small rebate towards the efficiency testing.

Apparently, no "Standard Offer" rebates apply towards anything else, including the 2"-3" of pink insulation I have in some areas of the house.

BTW......My house is a 1994 model made built by Richmond American Homes of Texas. Don't ever purchase a home built by these idiots! Everything in my attic is not even up to 1994 building code, including some shabby electrical work.

Work that needs to be done to retrofit the house to bring it up to code.

- Install 3 additional soffit vents on the back of the house. There are none on that end of the house. And there is no air exchange on the soffit vents on the side of the house because the builder covered them with insulation.

- I have 3 static roof vents that obviously don't work well with my attic temps being 135+. The will install a 850cfm solar attic fan w/thermostat.

- The attic space over the garage has zero insulation. Insulate the garage area and add vent registers.

- Bring the entire attic up to either R30 or R38 depending on how much I want to pay. Right now it is insulated with the cheapest pink insulation available and the R value is roughly R20.

- Perform a test to determine how air tight the house is or isn't.

- Fix the backdoor i.e. moldings and reposition the striker for a closer fit.

- The air handler in the attic is leaking cold air in a half dozen places. The duct taped air ducts are leaking like sieves. The conditioned air intake is leaking and the filter is being bombarded with attic air. And that's why my filters are nearly saturated after just a couple of weeks. This will all will be fixed.
__________________________________________________ _________

Total price (with rebates) for all the above work at R30 values is $1,277

OR

Total price at R38 values is $1,550


Is that a fair price? Should I keep getting estimates or no?

I've referred quite a few people to David. As of a few weeks ago, when he was at my parent's house, no.


The program has been suspended by Oncor. David said it would likely start back up in June (when it gets hotter), but said that he did expect it to come back this summer.

For what it's worth, even if you don't qualify for the Oncor program, it's worth having done, and David is a hell of a guy, and has a great crew working for him. He just did radiant barrier for my parents, and will be making another trip back out to add insulation. My Dad wanted to hold off to see what kind of savings he would see with radiant barrier alone. David, I hope I'm not airing anything out you don't want on here. With my parents, he made a pricing error, and didn't calculate for enough material. He told my parents a price, and even after realizing the error he made, he stuck to the price. My Dad tried several times to give him more (hey, we all make mistakes from time to time), and David just flat out wouldn't take it. That says a lot about his character and how he runs D&A Conservation. On top of that, they were very pleased with the quality of work. I'd recommend him to anyone, and I don't make recommendations often due to all the bad that can come from it. Just my $.02.

i used david a few months ago, he did a good job on my house, but the other referrals that I sent him he never came and finished them. not sure why but its been over 4 months ago and not one call from him. if he is ever going to finish them.

Oh and yeah it is seasonal. They get a big chunck of money and when it runs out they have to wait till the next period.

[Chritaka]

If anyone hears anything solid on when the program is starting back up can you post it up? I really need to get this done in my old casa...

Pm me

[Daywork]

I replied to the pm's.

The program started back up today (6/1/09).

Oh and just to let you guys know, I also do radiant barrier. That doesn't fall under the program, but if you're interested in it just let me know.

[ceyko]

Ya know I understand for 75.00 getting it done.

However, if you don't qualify - insulating your attic is a breeze these days. I refreshed mine awhile ago and it took all of 3 hours and that includes fetching and returning the blower. (of course 1 person was inputting the insulation with another in the attic)

Now, what I always worry about is what is going on behind the walls. Attic though...easy as can be and not very expensive.

David might be a nice guy...but the girl answering the phone is gave my cousin some hell..

Never answered the phone...he left a message. The she called back like 3 times looking for some other possible client. He called again, no answer. Then she called back looking for him. They were going to be in the area and could check his house out...but now hes gone for the whole summer.

David...Im sending you a PM to see if you cant still do my cousins house. He wont be there but I can be there if you guys can swing by sometime.

Thanks for pushing this back up. I'll give David a call today.

EDIT:

I called David, he'll be out here next week. I told him to not give a damn dime to Chris ;)

[RuStYpNuS]

I didnt read the entire thread but i can tell you that it is legit.......but the people I know havent been paying for the service....TXU/Oncor has. My mother in law just had hers done a few weeks back. they basically create a vacuum on the house after weatherstripping it. then go back and repair any leaks, change out lamps to CFL's, and caulk/ insulate if/where needed. All for t. I would have to ask her who or how she went about having the service done but i do know that ive had customers have the same thing done for FREE

[Roliath]

I'm gonna have to hit up my dad, and tell him about this.
Is Daywork still doing this?
