Ecotech Hydronics & Heating

10

Dan & Ecotech were the perfect fit!

In Floor Heating Project I called Dan from Ecotech Hydronics after doing some internet research. After speaking to Dan on the phone, I was confident he was one of the more knowledgeable heating contractors I had spoken to. I was looking to finish my walk-out basement and I knew the furnace would not maintain a comfortable temperature. Dan suggested several in floor heating options. After several conversations, Dan recommended a pre-insulated heating panel that could be laid right over the existing concrete, then have tubing run in routered grooves in the panel. This was the perfect solution for our project. The system is only ¾” high and it works beautifully. The floors are warm, in the ceramic, carpet and laminate areas. The basement maintains a comfortable temperature, regardless of the main floor thermostat setting. I can even control different areas of the basement independently.
I told Dan I was planning a master bathroom renovation, which would require a lot of hot water, so Dan also installed a tankless water heater to meet my new hot water demands and to run the heating system. I also mentioned my kids’ rooms were always chilly. Dan recommended in joist heating, running off the same tankless heater. This was installed before the drywall ceiling was done. My kids’ rooms are warm now and I can control their room temperature independently of the main thermostat. The Ecotech crew was very professional and worked hard to accommodate the renovation schedule. Norm, the installation manager, is very meticulous and came up with innovative ideas to work around design issues we encountered. I could not be more pleased with the new level of comfort in the house. I highly recommend Dan and his crew.

Ecotech was the way to go for me

Tankless Hot water, & High Efficiency Furnace When it came to technical advice on the tankless hot water, Dan, from Ecotech’s, technical knowledge and advice was far and away the best of the 7 or 8 companies we had over to consult and quote on the job.

I yanked my old fashion hot water tank and mid-efficiency furnace about 18 months ago. I waited a while to write a review just to be sure things were running smooth, I would hate to recommend someone if I wasn’t very confident in my recommendation.

Anyway, after I did some initial research on tankless hot water and high efficiency furnace I had 7 or 8 different firms in to quote on my job. I had a tight space and everyone said it would be a bit tricky to make sure all the venting was up to code and I wanted to make sure the job was done right. Dan, from Ecotech, was by FAR and AWAY the most knowledgeable on tankless hot water systems.

In addition, all the other furnace people that I had over wanted to install a new furnace that was too big for my house. Dan was the only furnace guy that assured me that the 100,000 BTU high-efficiency furnace that everyone else was more than happy to sell me was just too big for my house. If your furnace is too big it looses efficiency, not to mention a big furnace cost more to buy in the first place. Anyway I was pretty doubtful since Dan was the only one that was insisting on this, but after reviewing numerous websites, doing some calculations, and speaking to a few government organizations that had no profit motif in the advice that they were providing me I found that Dan was indeed correct. Last winter we had some good and cold days but you would have never know it at my house.

Dan at Ecotech is the best of breed.

Dan & Norm were great!

Hydronic Heated Floors Researched how to heat the walk-out basement in my older home. Decided that hydronic floors was best solution. Then research hydronic floor installers & found Ecotech/Dan. Dan persisted, albeit through some personal matters, to complete my job in a timely & professional fashion. The solution is wonderful & we now enjoy a wonderfully heated walk-out basement. Thanks Dan for the great job. Thanks Norm for being a great, reliable and accountable crew-boss! Best things about Ecotech: (a) Dan's reasonable pricing, (b) Dan's detailed answers to questions, (c) Norm's response to issues & problem solving professionalism. Only areas of "suggestions" or "lessons learned": (i) if the area to mount the system is already drywalled, & location of studs is uncertain, to locate the studs & mount a sheet of plywood as a base/backing to then mount the rest of the system onto, this saves any unneccessary drilling/holes into drywall to support the system, (ii) once the hydronic system is install but before concrete is poured, as the homeowner, take a million digital pictures - from every angle ... so that should you ever wonder where the pex tubing is, you will know ...this may even enable you to then be able to drill should u ever need to, e.g. to secure transition strips for laminate/carpet/tile. All the best to your company & crew for 2009 Dan. Cheers. R&J.

EcoTech Comes Through

Replacement of old boiler with high efficiency gas boiler EcoTech was great in replacing my old oil fired boiler with a new Triangle Tube high efficiency gas model. They looked after everything from arranging to have a gasline put in, to replacing the old boiler and setting up the new one. They were clean, professional and extremely courteous. I'd highly recommend Dan and his crew to anyone. Thanks again!!

Dan designed a great system for us.

Tankless water heater and radiant heating We were very satisfied with the heating system that Dan designed for us. He replaced the electric baseboard heating in our home with radiant heating along the wall. It is much more comfortable now. We also like the tankless water heater. Our electric bills are much lower now and we are no longer getting scalded by the hot water.

Two years later, we had a problem with the thermostat. He sent over one of his guys to fix it at no charge. That's a good way to do business!

Dan

In floor hydronics heating Utilizing a tankless water heater, heating was extended to heat floors. Dan thoughtfully came up with a plan to save me money by allowing and explaining some things I could do myself. His employees phoned before coming.They cleaned up after the job was done.While completing my part of the project I pulled up some of the tubing. I asked Dan about letting me staple it back and he immediately sent one of his crew to staple it for me. This company is great! If you know anything about running a service oriented business with crews of people it is not an easy task.Dan commands perfection and politeness.No hesitation recommending this business.

The finished product is fabulous, there is no going back to regular heating!

Tankless water heater + in floor radiant heat system This was a big project for our family. We had lots of questions and concerns. Dan (the owner) spent a LOT of time explaining the pros/cons and making us feel comfortable with what we were doing. The work crews were great and the project went reasonably smoothly. We do not regret the money spent on this efficient system. It is a fabulous way to heat a house (Warm feet all winter!!). The tankless water heater (hot water on demand) and radiant heat are the same unit and mount on a wall therefore freeing up a significant amount of floor space in our small basement.

Would recommend Ecotech Hydronics any time.

Furance, AC, Tankless Hot Water & Heated Driveway Over the three years that these projects were done including the installation of a HEPA filter system, I kept going back to Ecotech. They would always listen to any concerns I had and would respond positively and quickly with full information. I've had one minor warrantee call, and it was handled quickly and without question.

Ecotech was exceptional!

in-floor heating and air conditioning installation Ecotech did a first-class job installing all the in-floor heating and air conditioning system in our custom-built home. This was a big project and Ecotech confidently approached all aspects of the job with professionalism and quality workmanship. We would highly recommend them.
