“I’ve enjoyed my EnergySmart experience, especially working with Dave, my Energy Advisor from Populus. He’s been like a personal project manager, making the energy upgrade process much easier than if my wife and I were on our own. Dave reviewed our energy audit, helped us schedule our contractors, and came out to quality-check the work when it was done. And he changed out our light bulbs. For all that service, EnergySmart would have been worth paying for, but that’s the best part - it’s free!”
