Looking for Energy Star contractor in Hudson Valley, NY

I’d like to get a home energy audit and do some sealing/insulating through the NYSERDA/Energy Star program. The NYSERDA web-site lists a couple dozen Energy Star, BPI-certified “Home Performance” contractors in my area (near Poughkeepsie, NY), and I have no idea how to chose. Does anyone in the area have experience doing an audit/retrofit with a local contractor? Alternatively, if there is a contractor who is reading this web-site, that would be enough to recommend you!

Hi, Jeff. Not an answer, but I'm about to do the same thing, in the same place. Who did you end up going with? Were you happy with them?
Hi Kevin,
I went with Malcarne, based in Rhinebeck. They're a big operation, and they seem to specialize in green building. (I believe they run a BPI institute.)
I was very happy with them. Ours was a big job, but they sent a team of five guys, so it went fast, and they had good followup up. Their foreman was a pleasure to work with. I'd go with them again, for other sorts of projects.
Hope that's some help! Good luck!
