Tom Needham, from Ecotelligent Homes (EH), did an energy assessment on our house and then essentially acted as a contractor, organizing the work (with Cappy, but EH personnel did install some insulation as part of the larger project). We are extremely happy with EH’s performance. 1) The completed work has provided us with everything we wanted. 2) In every case, all of the personnel who came into our home–sometimes for several days–were professional, friendly, and competent. 3) At one point our house presented a complexity (how to merge new HVAC equipment with a pre-existing zoning setup) that seemed to threaten the chance of continuing with a zoned house (ie dividing our house into 3 sections, each with independent temperature controls/ducts). We reached out to Tom and he coordinated with colleagues at Cappy, to insure that we got what we wanted.

Excellent service all around. I had an energy audit and insulation upgrade and everything was top notch with consultation, selection of services, work days, and follow-up/rebates/certification.

We chose Ecotelligent Homes to upgrade our homes energy efficiency.
From our initial contact with Amanda to our interactions with Andra, Ann & Joe and his crew we can say we were very pleased with their efforts to keep us updated and aware of what they were doing and how the project turned out. A couple of minor, follow up issues were addressed promptly, which in my experience, doesn’t always happen.
We heartily recommend Ecotelligent Homes.

The workers were very professional and friendly. My questions about the process were answered promptly and courteously. The workers did a very good job of cleaning up after the work was finished. Information from the office before and after the work was done was excellent. I would definitely recommend using this company.

Ecotelligent was great, very reliable. I appreciated their approach to analyzing and recommending solutions and they did the work as promised. I’m very pleased.

Ecotelligent did mold remediation and insulation installation in my home and I couldn’t be happier. Every person on their team that I interacted with was incredibly professional and provided really great customer service, which made the whole experience that much better. While they weren’t the cheapest quote I received, the quality of and confidence that I have in the work that they did was absolutely worth it. They left my house clean and you can tell that their team takes a lot of pride in their work, which I think is awesome. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent service and experience! Vermiculite insulation was discovered during our audit, and we had Ecotelligent Homes remove this hazardous material and re-insulate both of our attic spaces. They were very meticulous and careful, ensuring the air quality was meeting state standards through every step of the process. Our 2nd floor especially is much more comfortable and we sleep well at night knowing the vermiculite is no longer in our home. We would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks Ecotelligent!

Excellent people to work with. Energy Audit was done prior and after new insulation installed. Look forward to lower heating/cooling costs and better air quality with work done to help eliminate moisture in our attic.

Ecotelligent Homes removed the old insulation from our attic (which contained asbestos) and blew in the amount/depth of insulation that is recommended today. This was a huge undertaking because abating asbestos is a serious business. At every step of the process, from evaluating the insulation already in our attic, to explaining the process, to preparing the house, to removing the old insulation and installing the new, to monitoring and certifying the air quality in our home, everyone seemed to pay meticulous attention to detail, and was very serious about safety and compliance with state standands. Everyone responded to our questions and concerns with timely and complete answers. The company also removed our old attic fan, and changed the location of our attic access. We are very happy with their work.

Ecotelligent Homes did some substantial insulation work at our home: air-sealing, spray foam, and new blown-in cellulose from the rim joist up into the attic. We are quite pleased with the results – our home is much more comfortable and not drafty like before. Each team member I met was courteous and competent, and they all did a great job keeping our home clean. Their process is very thorough, from the initial energy audit and proposal, to the follow-up after the work was completed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ecotelligent Homes again, or to recommend them to others.

Their energy audit was more than worth it! Amazingly comprehensive, informative, educational, no pressure. We are purchasing their insulation services – tailored for our home’s needs – as a first step towards future home improvements such as solar and a tankless water heater to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint.
Update: They just completed our insulation project and re-ran the energy audit. Result: 44% reduction in air infiltration compared to the pre-insulation audit!!! Fewer drafts, comfier rooms, less dust. I can’t wait to see the effect on our energy bills. The “before” and “after” audit reports will greatly increase our home’s value if and when we decide to sell. Highest recommendation!

“Guys did a good job as expected, very satisfied. Just paid the invoice. Will be in touch in the spring/summer.”

“Your customer service rivals Zingerman’s”

You really have a great team that came out to my home. I can tell they really like working together. The two rooms your team worked on is a big improvement, and another plus was it reduced street noise we hear at night in those rooms.

showed up to the job early, Joe walked me through everything they were doing, kept me updated throughout the job, and they even cleaned up and disposed of all the garbage when they were finished.
Paul and Tina S.
“Low stress. Quick. Complete. They removed old attic insulation. Sealed all openings. Sprayed for mold control applied new blown in insulation. They even did an extra service closing my attic access for me. I could not be happier. I know I will be happy in January!”
Edy Z.
I’ve been very happy with the work! The house seals much better and climate control is dramatically improved.

I love this company! The owner walked us through several choices of how they could improve attic insulation for us. This 1967 house has a drip edge vent on 2 sides, which I have never had to deal with before, but Amanda had! I loved that she found a cost effective price to combine baffles and single cell foam on the top of the walls, allowing necessary air circulation. Then they offered cellulose to be blown in. Basically eco- friendly shredded newspaper. That felt like a more ecological than spraying that foam all over the floor, walls, and roof of the entire attic. The job was fit in 3 days after we met Amanda and she facilitated us getting a Michigan Saves loan for 10 y @ 4.9%. We didn’t need a down payment! The work crew, Joe, Rebecca and Fay, were prompt, and worked well. They cleaned out garbage left in the attic by the HVAC company last summer. They put down lots of drop cloths for where they walked as well as where the stowed their equipment AND wore booties inside. This is the cleanest crew I have ever hired! The blow-door test was performed before and after and the new insulation increases the heat inside by 43%! I believe my gas bills will decrease this winter! Amanda has an excellent notebook filled with information about their work, materials and lots of info why their system works so well. They have won lots of awards and deserve every one. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Ecotelligent! I have had 5 different contractors work on this house this past year (roof, electrician, HVAC, cement and windows) and this company has been the best… and I have had some really good contractors! Save yourself some $$. Call Ecotelligent!

I called them because our new A/C was not able to keep up in high 80s temperatures. We knew that our insulation was way out of date, but we didn’t know how far, so we had them do an energy audit. Based on the results of that audit, they recommended replacing the cellulose insulation in the attic, sealing the top plates with spray foam, replacing some baffles, extending the bathroom fan vent to the roof, and insulating the rim joists with spray foam. We had them do it, even though they weren’t the cheapest game in town. The blower door test they did afterwards showed a 41% increase in efficiency, and our A/C is now able to keep up. Great job guys!
