Eco Comfort Insulation & Contracting

TLDR: Great job, crew not afraid to get down and dirty to do it right.

It was always hot and muggy on the top floor of my back-split. The area just below the attic access was extra warm and had a musky odor whenever the temperature went up to 26 or higher. Updating the 50+ years old attic insulation was due since it was a pretty thin layer by today's standard (and old and smelly.)

I found 3 very reputable companies and called 2 to provide a quote. The first came and saw the attic and said that it was too low and advised me to call them back when I upgrade the roof. They can then suck out the old insulation via the roof. That was not what I wanted to hear since I still got 5 to 10 years on the roof. The 2nd company I called was EcoComfort. Wojtek assessed the attic, answered my questions and assured me their installers will NOT have any issue with the small attic and low roof.

When they arrived on the day of the installation, I asked the lead if they do soffit vents. He first went around the house and confirmed we didn't have enough. He showed me exactly what they have and quoted on the spot. The insulation removal and installation went well - no issue at all. Ten soffits vents with baffles were added. All the installers were troopers. It was hot, the roof was low and attic was tight. They managed to remove all the old smelly insulation. I saw them on their hands and knees to get to all the nooks and crannies. A thick layer of new insulation was installed (looked like triple the amount of the old.) Again, they ensured the new insulation covered all the tight spots.

Well, why did I wait so long to write this review (job was done in June, 2016)? I wanted to see if there was energy usage/cost savings over time. This did not really pan out since our energy usage grew as our family grew. I do have the other observations that indicated EcoComfort did an excellent job. We all noticed the musky smell was gone the first summer, the hot spot under the attic was gone and the best indicator is that there hasn't been any icicle buildup on the roof for 3 winters now (a stark difference with my neighbours houses.)

Overall, a great job and worth every dollar. The crew has to be commended - they were troopers (and troupers) – working as a team not afraid to get down and dirty to get the job done.

Thank you for the excellent work! I will definitely recommend your work to my family and friends.

Wow, we found EcoComfort through the Greenon.ca program and everyone from start to finish was excellent. From initial visit for quoting by Wojtek, installers led by Brandon to Claudia for billing went perfectly. All work was done on time, clean and profession. I would recommend EcoComfort to anyone needing insulation services.

After needed to upgrade our energy efficiency for a rebate, one of the things we chose was to top up our attic insulation. We were very pleased with how quick our appointment was arranged and by the time and care given to providing the service. Our home is now more energy efficient and a room that was cold is comfortable despite a colder than usual winter. Thank you!

The crew was very professional and explained the work and were very clean. When they were done you would never know they were here

Found the profile of EcoComfort from Homestars at the very beginning and surprised the high ranking. So contacted the company. The owner of the business, very humble, patient and professional man came to house, did free estimate, and gave me all details of how they would do my attic insulation. The screw came to house punctually. Polite, patient. Great work. Left the floor very clean.

Comparing to other contractors that I reached, they are professional and honest. They would give the best suggestion, not just for earning a quick and easy money. They can be reached all the time.

Right away after they finished my attic, I recommended the company to my friend. My friend is very satisfied with their work too.

Thank you so much for the excellent work! My 2nd floor bedrooms temperature has improved 2 celsius.

I will definitely recommend your work to my family and friends.

Great job! The two installers kept me informed of the whole process and what they were doing. They had me look in the attic before and after the installation. They did a great job cleaning up that you couldn't even tell they were there after they were done. Very professional!

They patiently answered all my questions, were friendly & professional, explained what they were doing and why, were careful not to cause damage, worked efficiently & quickly, and cleaned up thoroughly.

Very standard job, but things were good. Clean. Polite. Showed me a pic before hand, which matched what I saw the day before. Showed me pics after and let me look before cleaning up.

PLUS. I am going through the Ontario rebate program. My attic is 900sqft and the minimum is 955sqft minimum. Cost was $ 1.2 sqft and the rebate is for $1 sqft, so do the math!

Company is taking care of the paperwork, so time will tell. They said 8-12 months before we are rebatted.

Now we'll try to track cost savings and see. But given the rebate how could it not be worth it.
