My attic insulation (fiberglass wool) was severely compressed due to the installation of a 2nd floor ceiling A/C system. In most places the rafters were visible (so < 4" of insulation). I decided to go with a top-up of cellulose for a rating of R65+ (over 18" deep) as we are enrolled in the Home Energy Audit program and hoping that new windows, air sealing and attic insulation will get us the rebate. After hearing the EcoComfort add in 680 News and calling around, I found the EcoComfort quote to be in line with most other companies and they seemed like the only ones who would do some roof work I also required. I scheduled some quotation appointments and found the EcoComfort representative (Wojtek) to be the most thorough when answering all my questions. I had the best "comfort level" with EcoComfort so went with them. The EcoComfort crew was on time (even 10 minutes early) and were not phased by what I knew would be a difficult installation given a relatively low-pitched roof and all the flex lines running all over the place from the attic-hung A/C unit. Having installed 2 new bathroom exhaust fans near the perimeter of the roof I knew how brutal it was to literally crawl around up there. After apologizing to the crew in advance for what they were going to have to deal with, they set to work and did a great job. They installed a lot of extra baffles around the perimeter to increase airflow and put some depth markers around the attic to show how deep the insulation is--helpful to me and the Home Energy Audit inspector to come. Looking at the work upon completion it looked thorough, at or above the desired depth, and had good coverage. The insulated 4" flex ducts to the roof vents were secured with hose clamps (nice secure touch). Finally, they brought to my attention that one of my existing roof vents was not properly overlapping the plywood nor surrounded properly by shingles so there was an exposed gap! After showing me pictures on his cell phone he offered to fix it free of charge with a spare shingle he had in the truck. Great service!
