“I couldn’t be more impressed with the work that Energy Savers Network provided for me in my time of need. They worked efficiently and were very well organized. My house is much more insulated from the cold, and I was provided with useful information and other resources to make it even better. Nice work to the entire crew involved.”

“This awesome crew came in yesterday and sealed all of my vents, updated my light bulbs, installed low flow shower heads, sealed doors, and fixed holes in my drafty house. I woke up this morning to rooms that were toasty warm in the 20° cold. I can’t say enough good things.”

“On September 27th when WNC was ravished by Hurricane Helene the flood waters devastated my neighborhood. I had to evacuate & didn’t know when I could return to see my home standing or not. Fortunately I was very blessed because only the ductwork to my hvac/heating unit was destroyed along with my floor insulation. The Energy Savers Network folks were able to fix the crumbled duct work. This sounds easy enough but on the contrary it was no small undertaking that took a full day and a half. I am no longer heating the entire space under my house & saving money once again. Energy Savers Network are wonderful to work with & very compassionate about their job & what is best for their client. I feel truly blessed to have been affiliated with them and can’t thank them enough. My house is airtight and I can no longer feel a breeze as I walk by windows and doors. Thanks, Energy Savers.”

“We just wanted to thank you, and let you know how much we appreciate the people that came and helped us with our home. Our home is a great deal more comfortable, because of what you all did. We never dreamed that sealing the little cracks could make such a big difference. We are very grateful.”

– Michael Forehand & Family

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Energy Savers did to weatherize my 69-year-old home. They showed my home the overdue love it desperately needed, addressing issues I didn’t even realize existed. From caulking windows and sealing holes to adding trim and other thoughtful upgrades, they transformed my home into a more comfortable and energy-efficient space. The results were immediate—I’ve already stopped relying on the space heater I used to keep by my side, and the drafts I used to feel around my original windows and even in my bathroom are gone! My home feels so much warmer, cozier, and cared for. The team of staff and volunteers were not only highly skilled but also kind, respectful, and professional. They treated my home with care and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was attended to. I wholeheartedly recommend Energy Savers to anyone in need of weatherization or energy-saving improvements. Their work is life-changing, and their dedication to helping homeowners like me is truly inspiring. Without a doubt, they saved me lots of money. Thank you, Energy Savers, for your amazing service and kindness!”

“To energy savers. I am so blessed to have them come into my life. They all worked hard and done the entire house. The volunteers were awesome too. They got here early, worked late.

Thank you and God bless all of you for the work they done. They done more than I expected. Thank you again and I sing your praises.”

“I’m very thankful to all the volunteers who took the time away from their daily lives to help because not everyone does that. This winter, my house stayed much warmer and I paid less money on my energy bill – by about $350. I’m also very happy with the new front door and storm door that was installed as well as the floor repairs. Now my house feels more safe.”

“Having the team from Energy Savers come to our house to help us save money on our electric bill was definitely a great thing to do. I loved the commitment and effort they put in everything they were doing and how they explained in detail the process of weatherizing our home. I hope more people in the community take advantage of this great opportunity”

Antonio Garcia— J. Antonio Garcia, Hispanic Ministry Coordinator

“We was referred through the HOP program. We couldn’t figure out why our electric was so high and Energy Savers Network came out and really worked their magic. They did a blower door test to check where air was coming in at. We had no idea there was so many places that needed attention. So what they done was caulk around the windows, put up weatherstripping on all doors, seal around the piping, and changed out all light bulbs and shower heads in both bathrooms, as well as fixed the heating vents. We can already tell a big difference in how our home stays so much warmer now. I would truly recommend ESN to everyone I know.”

— The Powell Family

“Have not had the pleasure of working with an organization such as yours, in decades. Mikal and Kelvin arrived exactly on time, respectful, explained all work they would do and performed all to perfection, and more. Darlene and Caleb joined later and were both wonderful. We even shared a few good laughs. Overall, it was a delightful experience and much needed for my living situation. And most importantly, my dog is depressed since they left…. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

— Natalie Bergeron

“Great experience today. Will [the client] is such a sweet dude – glad we could help him. Mikal is an awesome leader, an absolute leader and a pleasure to work with. The kids were all enthusiastic, ready to work, and smoked it!” — Parent Chaperone for the Asheville High School Interact Club

“I’m so happy that Energy Savers came out to my house earlier this month! I couldn’t believe how much they found to do. I’m excited to see how much it brings down my energy bill! The volunteer team was friendly and polite, and the team leader was super knowledgeable and professional. It made me feel comfortable having them in my house. They even built custom storm windows which have made a huge difference this winter for our drafty old windows. It was a great experience, and I’ll be recommending them to my neighbors.” — Libby Bowman

“So grateful to ESN. They were kind and helpful and really made a change in the efficiency of my home. I’ve noticed a change in my power bill and the house just feels more insulated. The staff were respectful of my space, very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions along the way. I was blown away with the amount of improvements they made. Feels good to know that even as a low income family not able to make the big changes to go green, our footprint is a little less thanks to ESN. Keep up the great work!” — Cat Harris

“Tony repaired my plumbing, I got a water heater and dehumidifier. I’m able to have heat now because I didn’t before and I’m grateful for that. Tony goes above and beyond to make sure the job gets done right. If it wasn’t for him I’d still be out sleeping in the car”. — Vanessa Bogany

“I just want to give a big thank you to all the volunteers who came to my house and did wonderful things to make my house more weatherproof, and install LED bulbs, among other things. The window inserts are just excellent!!  Unlike the plastic “storm windows” with opaque plastic film, the window inserts are almost invisible and do a really good job of sealing the cracks in old window frames. You can be sure I’ll take good care of them and look forward to having them for many winters to come! You all deserve a big  hug!!” — Mary Soyenova (photo in testimonial photos folder)

The improvements to the energy efficiency of my home is invaluable to me. The repair team that arrived at my home and performed the tasks to make my home more comfortable and environmentally friendly. The team was professional, paid attention to details, and skillful. They were also kind and compassionate. Again, thank you for all you did for me and for my fellow Buncombe Countians!”  — Sharon Hurley

“I asked the crew all to greet my adult son who is challenged by a differing ability. Everyone gladly obliged and made the visit easier for him. I was impressed by the skill and knowledge of Staff and volunteers. The entire crew seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Special shout out to Kelvin, who really tuned in to my son and informed us when he was going to be using the drill. My son has sensory challenges and this small gesture was huge. We are thankful and grateful for this opportunity.” — Marrlene Sato

Thank you!” — Lynn Pennacchini (photo in Fundraising Client Photos)

“​​Daniel and Kelvin came today and helped my family tremendously with our home. They were so kind, understanding, not judgemental and worked some miracles. Because of this program my family now has sealed windows, our front and back doors are airtight when shut, and my home already feels much warmer! They’re a huge blessing! I highly recommend giving them a call to get assistance with your home, did I mention all of their help is FREE!” — Chelsea White

“Energy Savers Network is awesome. I qualified for winterizing in my home, free of charge from the Energy Savers Network (ESN) and I was thrilled to get the help. I’m an artist and sometimes can’t make ends meet, so they helped me in lowering my utility bills by being energy efficient. ESN was able to measure my windows and within 3-4 weeks they installed conveniently to use window insulation treatments, insulation behind wall outlets, in heat ducts and doorways. They also had one of their team members walk and talk me around my home discussing ways I could increase my energy savings. It was very helpful and they made me feel like a person and not just someone looking for a handout. They were kind, professional and easy to communicate with. Energy Savings Network really goes beyond just helping people, they show that they care too and go the extra mile to make sure of that. Great organization. I highly recommend them to anyone that qualifies for their services/help.” — Sue McQueen

“In the 1980’s, when architectural recyclables were still affordable in Western NC, my husband John and I designed our own home and built it ourselves. Since two of our goals were to save energy and money, we recycled and reused construction materials whenever possible. John paid $125 for 21 gorgeous 125-year-old windows from Montreat Anderson College. He restored them, and they have made our home unique and beautiful for decades. They have also posed challenges in cold weather. They function like air conditioning in summer but during chilly months, large, single-paned windows are very drafty. We invented quilted coverings for them which shielded us from the worst of the cold but also kept out the light. Our house was a dark cave from November through March. Not a big deal as long as we had jobs, away from home, but when we retired, the dark was depressing. For our psychological welfare, we had to keep some windows uncovered, resulting in more uncomfortable drafts, harder to bear as we aged. Then, in 2018, we connected with Energy Savers Network, a local non-profit dedicated to helping people with our challenges. Soon after we requested their help, Energy Savers Network folk were carefully measuring the perimeter of our windows. In another week or two, they have made us amazing, custom, interior storm windows – clear plastic stretched tightly inside extremely lightweight, metal frames. Then they installed them for us, on the inside, just in time for the first cold spell. Storm windows that are easy for us to remove or install.  Best of all, our rooms are now draft-free, warm as toast and full of light. Another bonus – Energy Savers Network folk renewed our old, ineffective weather stripping and changed our light bulbs to LEDs. They’ve reinvented winter! Every day since we’ve been grateful for this totally free blessing.” — Victoria and John Maddux
