## The honest read

New England Smart Energy runs home energy assessments, and its customers come away having learned something about their own houses. "He showed me things in my home that I didn't even know," an August 2026 Google reviewer wrote of Ivo. The Fairfield company holds 4.9 stars from 335 Google ratings, says it has been in business 15 years, and works towns from Fairfield and Bridgeport to New Haven, Simsbury and Waterbury.

The visits are hands-on. A June 2026 reviewer said the crew installed a low water shower head, insulated the hot water tank pipes and fixed a leak in the seal around an exterior door. In an August 2026 review, Herb and Eijan fixed the customer's doors during the visit. A February 2026 reviewer who had twice filled out the state's online form without a response found the company and was set up with an appointment right away. In a December 2024 review, the crew insulated an attic, sealed the doors, replaced oil heating with central air and replaced the windows in July heat. A local news report on yaledailynews.com describes a New Haven collaboration with the company allotting $1.5 million to energy-efficient home installations.

Its Connecticut HIC license, HIC.0670842, is active on the state registry.

Its BBB grade is A+.

In a March 2026 Google review, a customer said that after equipment was installed they were left with the mess, the equipment was faulty, and the company did not follow up.

**Strengths:**
- Clear explanations — 2026 reviewers say assessors explained the house
- Same-visit fixes — a 2026 visit sealed a door and insulated pipes
- Fast booking — a 2026 customer got an appointment right away

**Concerns:**
- Installed equipment — a 2026 reviewer reports faulty gear, no follow-up
