Neeeco is a Wilmington, Massachusetts company built around one entry point: the free home energy assessment offered through the state's Mass Save program. Its Google page carries 4.9★ across nearly 4,000 ratings, and the reviews are consistent — a named specialist (Wayne, Paul Tavares, Chad, Dan K., Michael, Bob Rossetti and others come up again and again) walks a homeowner through the house, explains what Mass Save covers, and leaves them with a clear next step. That's the assessment. The installation that follows tells a more mixed story. On Reddit, several homeowners describe real problems with the actual work: a 2024 post said Neeeco 'botched' a job, installing roof vents on the wrong side, doing a hack repair when asked to fix it, and substituting fiberglass for the EPS insulation that had been promised — the homeowner later found cold spots throughout the house. A 2025 account described a hole blown in a plaster wall during blow-in insulation, patched with a spackle job the customer called 'horrible.' A Reddit post from earlier this month said the Mass Save process locked them into using Neeeco for the installation once the audit was done, with no ability to bring in a different contractor, worth knowing going in since it removes the leverage a normal quote comparison would give you. An older, 2019 account described an assessment that pronounced a wall well-insulated while air was still visibly leaking through the same sockets it had just checked. Not every installation account is negative. A Google reviewer described an on-time, professional two-person crew handling an attic insulation job, and another praised a tech named Mitz for prepping the space, finishing in under half a day, and cleaning up afterward. Neeeco's Reddit mentions include straightforward recommendations too, alongside the complaints. A single 2026 Google review also describes one of the company's trucks driving recklessly on I-95, unrelated to any specific job. The clearest thing to take from this: the assessment visit is reliably a good experience, but the quality of the installation work that follows is less consistent, and Mass Save's structure can limit your ability to switch installers if the first crew doesn't deliver. Before scheduling, it's worth asking directly what materials will be used where, and getting specifics in writing rather than relying on the audit report alone.
“Just be careful who you have the energy audit done by. It was a wait for an appointment through Mass Save so I had one done by Neeeco thinking I could then select whoever I wanted to do the work. I was incorrect and then I was locked into using Neeeco. They were awful, skipped an entire wall of my house because they didn’t have scaffolding to reach it. Didn’t tell me until the job was done and I had no recourse.”
“list of somewhere around 80 contractors (IIC’s)to do the work. If you use an HPC they will typically do your work but some jobs are subbed out. They should both be doing the same audit but as noted above there is often some degree of upselling. Also FYI Neeco is also an IIC and receives allocated work from the lead vendors in addition to their separate HPC business. Abode does offer inspections post work and will hold HPC’s accountable. The lead vendors provide the same with the IIC’s (independent installation contractor) if you are unsatisfied with an audit you receive you can”
“he amount of insulation they were required to in the areas they were initially supposed to. They came back weeks later to finish but they almost put my whole project behind. I was converting from an oil boiler to mini splits and needed crawl spaces insulated. I would avoid Neeco if you can.”
“Neeco is a home performance contractor they should be doing a mass save audit unless they are trying to do things outside of the program which would be rife with up selling. The mass save program is very affordable with the rebates but they aren't going to turn your house into like a net zero household but can seriously cut your fuel a”
“Should I do the mass save free energy assessment through Mass save directly or one of the Energy performance contractors such as Neeeco?”
Paul Tavares was enormously helpful, charming, and I believe trust worthy! The end!
Wayne was polite, prompt and a wealth of information
Just had a Mass Save inspection with Wayne Rodriguez guiding me through it. He was extremely professional and had great advice to give. I was impressed by his thoroughness and knowledge of the industry. Thanks for sending him!
Wayne was excellent. Was very helpful and I knowledgable!
Corey did a great job explaining all of our opportunities and ways we could improve our home.
