Eco Three

Everything went extremely well and we are highly satisfied with the results!! On initial visit, they discussed with us various options, gave very helpful advice on any of our concerns, and and made a thorough inspection of the basement to plan detail work and address problem areas. They left the place clean and with a nice, thick layer of open-cell insulation. We are very impressed with their work! Would recommend anytime and hire again.

Great. The crew worked fast, Very personable, and very professional. Very pleased and would highly recommend.

Eco Three was extremely professional and informative. They identified several areas where we could take steps to really save on energy costs. I would recommend this company highly.

I met with Jonathan to go over the energy audit and he outlined the ways my home was losing conditioned air and efficiency. Thermal pictures were taken to highlight the obvious areas that needed to be addressed. The upgrades took 2 days and the crew was very clean and had a small footprint. You would barely know they had worked in the house all day when you returned home. The day after the upgrades were performed my home maintained a cool temperature and the AC didn't struggle to keep up. So far so good, and I expect to notice a difference in my utility bills over the coming months.

A contract was drawn and services were agreed upon after 1 and 1/2 days of work they told my girlfriend they were done and left. I got home that day and checked the work and found that only half the items on the contract were completed. I contacted the rep and after discussing the situation we altered the work and contract. I have yet to see the intended results from the work but the company is easy to work with.

From the very start, Jonathan was friendly professional and knowledgeable. His crew is a reflection of him as well. They were done in one day and I noticed the difference immediately. My A/C is an older unit but after they finished sealing the attic and installing new insulation, I see a marked difference in how much it kicks on each day. 3-4 times throughout the day vs not holding a temp and running most of the day continuously when it's hot outside. Very pleased. Will use him in the future and he comes HIGHLY recommended! JW

Jonathan was very thorough explaining the process and clearly understands spray foam insulation. The crew performed the job and left the area clean. I would recommend ECO-3.

David came out to the house for the quote and managed the project. He was great to work with and there was no pressure. The two man crew finished the project in a day and kept the job site clean. We can feel a noticeable difference upstairs now. The bedrooms up there always felt noticeably colder or hotter than the hallway which is open to the main floor. Now there is an even temperature, and the AC already runs less. The only improvement I could recommend would be for them to have more drop clothes to cover where they come in and out of the house.

house is much more temperature controlled. It should save us money on power bill.

very well. House is noticeably tighter.

David, the Lead Energy Evaluator, was thorough in his accessement of our needs. He not only explained the issues but showed us the issues using advanced technology. He communicated with us as needed. All work was completed timely. Jason, the crew leader, was professional, courteous and respectful of our home and space. Jason went above and beyond our expectations. He and his crew not only did excellent work, Jason "uncovered" a probelm unrelated to the scope of our project but he said he would do some research to find out the best solution. Now that is excellent customer service. He even said he would come back out once this problem was fixed to make sure the insulation was proper in this small space. Both Jason and David are very knowledge and answered all of our questions in terms that we understood. I recommend this company.

The representative from ecothree Energy Efficiency Experts returned my initial call within 1 day. We made an appointment for him to visit and assess my needs. He showed up on time, was very pleasant and although my attic was already getting quite hot, entered it in his clean fresh clothes without hesitation. He determined my needs, was knowledgeable about his product and promised me a bid in short order. I received his comprehensive and very reasonable bid in a couple days, phoned him and made arrangements for his team to come do the work. He showed up on time with his crew - again on a very hot day - and he and his crew did the work and were finished before noon. They cleaned up after themselves, and I was able to view-inspect from a distance the work they had done before they sealed the attic entry. He promised me a bill in the mail, which I received within a week. By then I knew without a doubt I had hired the right company. The temperature in my entire home had remained constant and comfortable from the evening of the first day forward - for the first time since I move in 17 years ago! I am very pleased with the work ecosystems did for me and I give them my heartiest and unqualified recommendation!

The process went quickly and smoothly. Jonathan Handey came to our house to look over our current issues with our insulation, attic, and overall efficiency of our home built in 1948. He recommended that we seal all the top plates in the attic, insulate and air seal our duct leaks, blow new loosefill insulation over our entire attic to upgrade our insulation, air seal the open ares around our floors, windows, and doors, and install weather stripping on all of our doors. The work took a total of two days and we barely noticed the workers in our home despite the fact that I work from home. They were hard at work in our basement and attic for 8-10 hours each day and got everything completed in a quick and thorough manner. Once they were completed they tested out the home to see if there was any energy loss coming through the top plates, ducts, etc. and the tests showed that my home's performance had been greatly improved. Jonathan and his crew were incredibly professional and kind at the same time. They provided an itemized list with costs of each improvement they were to make in the initial bid process of the job and they communicated clearly and effectively throughout the process as to the timeframe and what we were to expect. I would work with them again.

They were prompt with response and on time for both meetings. Overall a good assessment of issues around the home that could help it be more efficient and comfortable. Elizabeth was very courteous and very detailed in explaining all items. I really like the formal report and price quotes that were provided with the service. Also, very pleased with the fact that I never felt like they were trying to push their service or products for something I didn't need and not receiving hounding phone calls to try to talk me into doing the work. Very professional and helpful people!!

In December Eco Three performed an energy audit for our home (the $79 service). The had a professional approach. They took pictures of all of the problems they found. The pictures included infrared photos showing cold spots throughout the home. They also measured the air infiltration at roughly 6400 cfm for our 1900 sq ft 60+ year old home. They provided all of this in a detailed report and a quote for remedial work ($5607). This included sealing interior wall caps, sealing our attic stairs, sealing and disabling an attic fan, sealing all ductwork and reinsulating where necessary (a substantial amount of work in this house), spraying insulation in our two attics, weather stripping doors and windows, sealing where duct vents entered the home, etc. We scheduled remedial work for Feb 1 for two days. They arrived on time, completed the work in two days as promised, achieving a reduction to 3200 cfm of air infiltration and a much more comfortable home. We have had a couple of cold spells since then and greatly enjoyed the increased comfort. We used to have to huddle under blankets to watch tv in our family room on cold nights, but the cold drafts have stopped. We have yet to experience one of our Birmingham summers to see if our AC can now keep up on our hottest days (which it could not do in recent years). They do have room for improvement. They failed to properly take into account that we use one of our two attics for storage. The solution they provided did a good job of insulating and sealing the attic and the opening for the attic stairs but a poor job of providing access and storage space. They did not give us an understanding before the project of how their work would affect use of the attic storage space. End the end the old attic stairs could not work with their solution and we ended up having them remove the stairs (temporarily keeping the door). Their solution for insulating the space above the stairs made it much to difficult to access the attic. They could have foreseen these problems and included addressing them in the scope of work. We have since replaced the stairs and reworked the attic access. It appears that they had no experience with stairs of our vintage. They do now. All in all we like the company and remain pleased with the overall results.

Punctual, responsive and good service. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. I don't recall the exact price but I was told I would save enough each month to break even if I stayed in the home for 5 years.

Very well. Everyone, especially David Wilkerson, was friendly, courteous, knowledgable and thorough.

Jonathan handled our Home Energy Audit and did an excellent job. He was on time, did exactly what he said he would do, and was thorough in his work. I appreciated his relational approach to Eco Three's work. He clearly communicated with me throughout the process and offered solutions for our home moving forward. I would recommend Eco Three to others in my neighborhood.

Eco-Three's crew was here for almost two days. They were professional and punctual. They also knew what they were doing, including coming up with a solution with a tricky insulation issue in one of our bedrooms. While the price tag was steep, we knew up front what it would cost, as we were provided a detailed estimate of costs for every recommendation. No surprises there, which was appreciated. We were very pleased with the job Eco-Three did for us.

My experience with them was good. Their quality of work was great.

We had an excellent experience with Eco Three. Jonathan, Elizabeth and all of their crew were professional and efficient from start to finish. We have a small, cottage style home built in the 1940s. It was drafty in the winter and hot in the summer. We knew we wanted to improve our home's comfort while we live here but we don't plan on living in this home for more than 5 years so we didn't want to spend a fortune on these improvements (i.e. replacing windows, etc). Eco Three was able to come and evaluate our home and tell us exactly what improvements would help its comfort and efficiency in the immediate future. They also broke the improvements down by how quickly we would see return on our investment. The team was able to complete all of the improvements in one day. The day they were scheduled to work it was pouring rain but they did not let that affect them and they kept our home dry and clean while they were working. They even did a few small "extra" improvements to our ductwork without charging extra for it! We noticed the difference in the comfort of our home the very next day! We are already seeing savings in our electric and gas bills each month. Our only regret - we wish we had called them sooner!

The guys at Eco Three were very polite, knowledgeable and professional. They were prompt and did a very good job of cleaning up after they were through. We did have one air duct hole that was missed during the initial sealing process but when it was called to their attention they were very quick to resolve the situation to our satisfaction.

very pleased with their thoroughness

They did a good job and I think it has helped with the efficiency of the home. I would use them again.

I was extremely impressed with Jonathan's professionalism and knowledge. He has a background in home inspection and the evaluation included an examination of the exterior and interior of the house, including the attic and basement/garage/crawlspace. His chief worker had worked as an electrician and he checked the wiring. With these two, I felt I had a mini home inspection and electrical inspection included in this evaluation. I had many questions about houses and insulation and I received clear answers, with reference to current building codes in my jurisdiction. Jonathan and his crew arrived on time (or slightly early) for the appointments and Jonathan was very responsive to communication via phone or email. They worked with my schedule and were considerate of my formerly feral cats, including the new foundling in the bathroom. The work took place over two days and the crew cleaned up after the work and even repaired the ill-fitting access hatch to the attic. I learned that, in older homes, there is much leakage of winter cold air into the walls since the tops in the attic are not sealed and that there are many areas in the floors and walls for cold air to come into the house from the basement/crawlspace, around wiring and plumbing. These were all sealed and insulated. The areas of ductwork around the point where it goes into the house (behind the grates) were replaced and sealed with insulating foam. The hatch to the attic and the area around the whole house fan were insulated and weather stripped. Weather stripping was placed around the doors and a blanket covered the hot water heater in the basement. Insulation was blown into the attic. The first thing I noticed upon coming into my house was how quiet it is now! There are no drafts, even as cold as it's been this week (in the teens and 20s at night). I'm sure the energy bills will be lower. I highly recommend Jonathan and the Eco Three team!
