Review by Donna W. in O Fallon, MO
Project: Install or Upgrade Blown-In Insulation
Comments: Besides the blown in cellulose we had blown in, we first had all the old fiberglass insulation vacuum out. Then an energy audit where they fixed many of the problems from the builder and sealed any holes, leaks, etc. Because my husband wanted to put in a new bathroom heater/light, Mr. Peterson waited over the weekend after they vacuum everything out so he could do it without the old fiberglass insulation in the attic. Very professional and what I liked most is his workers spoke English.
Peterson Energy Responds:
Donna and Toms home had a problem with getting fiberglass attic insulation in the furnace filter. They also had a big mice population in the attic. So we removed all the fiberglass insulation ( which mice love to nest in ) and sealed many direct bypass holes that went directly into the return air of the HVAC system and other interior walls of the home. We used plywood and sprayed closed cell foam to seal the blocking we did and then re-insulated the entire attic of the home with R-49 and garage with a pest control insulation, 100% Borate formula Cellulose.

Project: Install or Upgrade Blown-In Insulation
Comments: These guys were wonderful! From getting the estimate to the completion of the job they were very professional and nice. They were very easy to work with. When we have need of their services again we won’t hesitate to call them.
Peterson Energy Responds:
Thanks Christine for the great review. Christine had a issue with the duct work in the attic actually being open on the return side , which was sucking in attic dirt, humidity, and insulation into the homes air stream and furnace A coil. This scenario was unhealthy and costing them lots of energy dollars.
Review by Michael B. in Lonedell, MO
Project: Install Spray Foam Insulation
Comments: OMG!!! These guys were so amazing they are down to earth hard working good people, they came in to a 100+ year old house, they tore out the old insulation and made our house like new. We are so pleased and would recommend these guys to anyone!!!
Peterson Energy Responds:
Mike and his wife were great folks to work for and we really appreciate the kind words on our effort. Michaels 100+ year old home had some major air leak issues causing a dirty environment, and a huge discomfort in the hot and cold seasons. We used foam board , sprayed closed cell foam , and blown cellulose to work our magic attic make over and it was night and day looks, as well as results.
Review by a Homeowner in Chesterfield, MO
Project: Install or Upgrade Batt, Rolled or Reflective Insulation
Comments: Paul and his team were very professional and solved the issue we have in our attic in very timely manner. They removed the mold in the attic caused by excessive moisture, installed ridge vent and solved the ventilation problem in the attic, and after that they insulated the attic well. The quality of work product was great. I would recommend Paul and his team to anyone who might need such service.
Peterson Energy Responds:
This project was a real eye opener to the results of no ventilation in an attic. Over 40 % of the roof decking plywood was molded including the trusses. We had to aggressively treat the surfaces 3 times to get it right, and by adding the proper ventilation, air sealing, and insulating the problem is resolved. Thank you for the opportunity to solve the issues, it feels great knowing health , safety, and economy were able to be provided to our customer and family. Paul Peterson, president.
Review by Travis H. in Saint Louis, MO
Project: Install or Upgrade Batt, Rolled or Reflective Insulation
Comments: It went great. They did a great job with the energy audit. After that, they gave a very competitive bid for a lot of work we needed on the upstairs, as the prior owner did a horrible job. They were fast, efficient and very flexible on our schedule. Within a day, we noticed a major difference in the temperature situation in the upstairs – it was a major improvement. I highly recommend!
Peterson Energy Responds:
Travis had a 2nd story that the living space was surrounded by attic. We call that house in the oven . Travis stated that the A/C never shut off in really hot weather. Summer temperatures in attics can exceed 140 degrees so we provided a scope of work that included ventilation, insulation , air sealing and radiant barriers. The results were excellent, in that or customer is able to use all of the living space in comfort without it costing an excessive amount for utilities . Thank you Travis for allowing us to help you with your home and for your recommendation.

Project: Install Spray Foam Insulation
Comments: The team was professional, timely, and mindful of our home/property. They worked efficiently—were in, set up, completed their work, cleaned up. and were out in a short period of time. The quality of work product was exceptional. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.
Peterson Energy Responds:
Ron was a great customer to work with. He provided ladders and prepared the attic for what we had to do. He made for a day that we wish always went so well. We sprayed high density closed cell foam to strengthen a wall to try to eliminate a drywall seam crack problem. Thanks Ron for the kind recommendation. Paul Peterson, president
Review by Greg H. in Fenton, MO
Project: Install or Upgrade Blown-In Insulation
Comments: Very professional and above expectation , found areas that needed attention & took photos to show me so I could understand the issues without climbing into the attic.
Peterson Energy Responds:
Greg had several areas that were what we call direct by-passes. These are literally open wall chases that extend from the interior walls of the home into the attic. These open wall chases create hot and cold spots in the home and also contribute to dust, and drafts. We always inspect for these types of potential improvements, they can be as important as the re-insulating of the attic. Thanks, Greg for the recommendation.
