Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

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.
