Georgia Energy Control Don't Buy, Liars, better products on Market. No guarentee. Powder Springs Georgia
Here comes a free dinner. A company by the name of Georgia Energy Control located in Powder Springs, Ga has a sales force selling a Thermal Blanket for your attic. You will receive a mailer that invites you to a free dinner. First the sky is falling pitch when a hi pressure sales person wants to come to your home.
I bought but not from Georgia Energy Control.
The Good News:
The Product (enrgy saver RB) does work. My house is cooler and my bills have decreased some.
The Bad News:
Get ready for a high pressure sales pitch and $2 dollars plus per square foot with what they call a 10 percent "overage" charge.
The company does not have a distribution or proprietorship on this material as they claim. Its an alluminum mylar they call Energy Saver RB.
I called Michael Walter (my regular contractor) with Around the House services and had this product installed for just 95 cents per square foot. They did a great job and I highly recommend them. He can be reached at 770-633-4123.
My attic was 1600 square feet so at 2.25 with Georgia Energy Control my bill was $3768.75 with Around the House Services my bill was $1520.
The Sales Pitch
Get ready for "Buy today or loose discount" shpeal.
I was also offered 500 dollars in "free" gas and 500 dollars in "free" groceries. Don't believe this scam either. You have to register online with some company and mail in at least 100 dollars worth of receipts EVERY MONTH on gas and Groceries and then you receive a card or something in the mail for 25 dollars off your next 100 dollar purchase.
"The Guarantee"
The gentleman who was pitching me this product showed me a copy of the sales contract and the "in writing" guarantee. The guarantee is a savings of an average of 20 percent over the next 5 years! And how do you know you have saved 20 percent? You must have electric and gas bills for 5 years prior to the install. I think my cost of living will go up at least 20 percent in 10 years so the guarantee is bogus.
This company claims to have been in business for 25 years. Well when I looked them up online the company was only 2 years old. Red Flags went up all over the place for me. In these hard times don't get ripped off. Like I said this is a great product but not at 2.25 per square foot. Feel free to call Michael Walter and let him know Mike Walton in Atlanta Country Club recommended him.

Dissatisfied Customer? I Don't Think So!

Why do competitors post false attacks on the internet posing as a dissatisfied customer? Because some people read them and believe their lie! They are counting on you doubting the integrity of the company they have trashed and contacting the company they recommend. The real ripoff here is their posting! If anything, this attempt to discredit Georgia Energy Control should be viewed as a recommendation. Obviously, Georgia Energy Control is a threat to those who are trying to compete with them.

To rebuttal the report written against Georgia Energy Control, LLC, I would like to begin with saying that I was at GEC when this file was reported. We searched all of our databases and dinner reservations for this man who says he came, but to no avail, he was never found.
Firstly, the facts are that it is a totally free dinner. That GEC does want to educate the public on energy consumption. GEC also would like to earn your business, like any other company would. GEC does ask the group of people on a case by case basis, if they can come to your home for a free in home estimate, no obligation to do so.
Secondly, the product. The facts are that the person who filed the report against Georgia Energy Control actually more than likely bought and installed a different product than we offer. The difference is, GEC is a full blown company with an actual office and multiple sales representatives. GEC has installed over 1,000,000 (1 million) feet of Energy Saver RB to customers between Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee! GEC is here to stay to help reduce the carbon footprint for our generations to come.
Thirdly, the facts are that the brand Energy Saver RB is an exclusive brand that only two companies in the United States can use, including GEC. This is the rebuttal to the comment made about GEC not having distribution rights. GEC does! GEC can sell material only to customers who rather do it themselves. There are many similar products out there, but some are not as high quality as the Energy Saver RB. Also, I would like to reiterate, the branding Energy Saver RB is exclusive for our company and one other company in the USA.
Fourthly, the sales pitch and gas and grocery certificate program. The facts are that GEC has discontinued the use of the certificate program due to customers concerns. The third party company that offers the certificates is lacking to provide customer service to our customers, so GEC naturally pulled the program. As far as the sales pitch, GEC's goal is to earn your business. Earning business is what companies do in order to stay in business, how can they be blamed for that?
Fifthly, the facts are the guarantee is what it is. GEC will gladly calculate and look into customer's bills to monitor monthly or annual savings.
Finally, the facts are that the owner has been in a home improvement environment for over 25 years. GEC like reported has only been in business 2 years. But don't you think that installing over 800 customers in 2 years shows for itself that GEC is a good company, with customers interest in mind. GEC may make mistakes, however, they will try their best to make them right!!
