It not often that I get excited about working with a contractor enough to volunteer to write a testimonial. Even more, recommend them to my neighbors (which I have done multiple times). Entering the SMUD Home Performance Program, I was bit nervous about choosing a contractor from the SMUD list. Many of the contractors are HVAC companies looking to sell me equipment.I searched the Web and came across Jeff’s website and I am so glad I did.
Jeff exceeded my expectations both in the effort he put in to explain everything to me, and the time and diligence spent in testing my house. I was tremendously impressed by everyone on his team in completing the recommended work. His team is extremely professional and the services they provide are of the highest quality. They care about success and that is rare today. Have you ever watched a Home Improvement show on cable network and said, “Boy, I wish I could find skilled professionals like that.” Well, with Jeff and his team, you have found the true meaning of excellence. I would recommend Jeff and his team to anyone. Footnote to this testimonial. It’s been 1 week since the work in my house and my house stays 2-3 degrees warmer every night when we turn off our heat. That makes me feel really good about the work that was done.

Hi Jeff,
We just wanted to pass on our joy and thank you again for all your hard work on our home! We just got the first bill since all of the energy improvements were done, and it is an amazing $44.12 as compared to $82.01 last year in the same month. We’ve been running our heater whenever we are home for as long as we want (set at 68 degrees – not tropical, but very comfortable), without any reservation, and it went down by half! We are both honestly very surprised by this bill – we have been using the heater at least twice as much as before, and were expecting to be happy with paying the same amount as before as long as it wasn’t higher. Not only are we WAY more comfortable, but we actually are saving significant money.
As the brain controlling this whole project, we just wanted to pass on the satisfaction we have to you. Also, if you want to name us as references for future clients, please feel free to share our information. Thanks again, and have a great weekend!?

Jeff Connor was identified by SMUD as a contractor who could provide an energy assessment to improve our 90 year old home. Prior to signing a contract with him we checked his references. The responses were positive, and we now share the same views.
He carefully explained our options, patiently answering our questions, but let us decide how much work we wanted done. The work began on the day scheduled. The subcontractors working with Jeff were very professional and problem solved with him when necessary. Also they were prompt in arrival and tidied up at the end of the day.
We are benefitting from the upgrades and will definitely call Jeff for our next big project.
We truly appreciate the quality and the professionalism he provided.

I bought an older house that needs a lot of energy upgrades. I looked up all the contractors on the PG&E approved list. I ended up talking with several companies. From the start, Jeff at Sacramento Building Performance (SBP) seemed to be the best option (knowledgeable, responsive, and very experienced). I had three companies come out and give me estimates and a determination of whether or not I am a candidate for the PG&E rebate program. I ended up choosing SBP without any doubt or question. Jeff was the only contractor who didn’t give me a sales pitch, who was willing to talk about all my energy and remodel current needs and future goals, and to give me a detailed and straightforward quote tailored to my minimum needs. His quote was reasonable and fair, his flexibility and willingness to help me find novel solutions was impressive, and his experience base is broader and more complete than the other contractors I interviewed. He talked with me about health and safety concerns, design ideas, and prioritizing each job to maximize my return along the way. I will unquestionably be using Sacramento Building Performance for my energy upgrades, and likely for many future remodeling projects. Jeff – thanks for all your help so far! And to those of you who are considering getting any work done – I definitely recommend that you give SBP a call before choosing anyone else.
