Our licensed technicians can remove dangerous mold or asbestos from your home to improve indoor air quality. As award winning trade allies of both DTE Energy's & Consumers Energy's Home Performance programs we help customers maximize available rebates.
"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."

"I bought a house in Fraser and came to find out I had very high energy bills and 2 inches of insulation. Tom from Dana Insulation came out and guaranteed a minimum of a 20% energy and gas bill reduction. He said realistically it will be 25-35% by getting their attic insulation. The day of the job the crew showed up on time and took a look around. They came unprepared and had to go back to their shop "15min away". A few hours later they came back and got set up. They kept calling their office asking questions unsure what and where they were putting the insulation. Shortly after starting they went and sat in their truck or paced up and down the sidewalk on the phone. I assume it was their lunch but I was unsure since they were constantly on their phones. After their break they got 2-3 hours of work in before deciding to call it for the day. At some point during that time the owner arrived sat in his truck and left. He didn't come into the house or greet me. They vacuumed and left. There was a lot of insulation left in the house and rusty staples throughout the house, porch, and driveway (ballpark of 50+). My 1yr old handed me one so I called the company and complained. At the start of day 2 the contractors were stumped on how to add insulation to the attic above our extra bedroom. So they sat in their truck or on the phone for the first 2 hours trying to figure it out. The owner called me and said they were going to pop a vent off the roof and replace it with a new one and he would stop by when they finished and check everything. So they popped off the vent and just filled in insulation hoping for the best. It was very unprofessional. I found out at the end because I asked that they didn't replace it and were not told to do so. One of the contractors got stuck in the small attic door entrance. They were screaming, swearing and panicking. We rushed over to help them while the other contractor was outside on their phone. Shortly after their blower broke down and they had to wait for repairs. There was only a few hours of work done and they said the job was finished. The owner DID NOT come and inspect their work. The contractors asking for help from the office all day. They also left more insulation and staples all over my driveway. The owner scheduled a time to come take a look but no call no showed. I reached out to Tom multiple times over my rebate but he would brush me off to someone else. I was asked 2 times over email and one time on phone for simple information for it that they somehow kept loosing it? I reached out to Tom months later with my bills showing him nothing has changed like he guaranteed would by spending all of this money on attic insulation. I also mentioned I had not received my rebate which was well past the window. The owner called me and said that he reviewed the bills and checked online where I was last year. He agreed they were way to high and that the insulation didn't do what it should of. He scheduled a time to come out and look at what was going on. Again he was a no call no show. I got a hold of him again and he apologized. He said he was going to bring out a heat gun along with more measurement equipment. He was going to test all of the walls, ceilings, attic, furnace, AC, and vents. I asked why they didn't do this from the start and he said they only do it when there is a problem. This seems backwards to me. We scheduled another time and he no call no showed yet again."

I've always been a "Green Energy" person. I built and live in a underground earth sheltered Dome. Using only solar energy and a fireplace to heat my home in the winter and I don't have an air-conditioning unit. This passion for our environment led me to the insulation business. Makes me feel blessed to save my customers money on their heating and cooling bills. Saving our energy, saves our planet!

Insulation installation. Visa and Mastercard accepted. In business for over 35 years.
"I had 3 companies out from Angies LIst - King-Bur was the only one that understood the issue - the house was built in 1926 and has funny angles and different roof lines - He was the only one that grasped where the insulation should go and how to accomplish it appropiately. Such a relief. One of the other companies had some crazy idea and proposed 3x the money - His guys showed up and did a great job - cleaning up afterward. Problem solved. THis company is honest and experienced enought to understand the job and was successful in doing what was needed."

"This is only directed at the tool and service rental area. Youngish man (guessing from voice) working there, answering the phone, is very, very unpleasant. Needed to rent a tool, wouldn't go to computer to see when it was supposed to be returned- even after calling multiple times to SEE if it had been returned. We are going to a different location. Very sad, as there are some great workers there. Generously giving 2 stars since he answered the phone. ?"

Yes, you should remove old insulation if it's damaged, contaminated, or deteriorated. Signs like water damage, rodent droppings, mold, or gaps mean removal is essential to maintain energy efficiency and a safe living environment. If the insulation is intact and functioning well, removal isn't necessary. However, compromised insulation can increase energy costs and pose health risks.
Attic insulation lasts 80 to 100 years; however, its performance starts to decline after 15 years. Insulation loses effectiveness as materials like fiberglass become dirty, wet, or affected by mold and other contaminants. Regular evaluation is critical because reduced insulation performance leads to higher energy loss. A professional inspection confirms when replacement is necessary, ensuring that your home maintains peak energy efficiency and comfort.
Excess attic insulation does not enhance energy efficiency beyond an optimal threshold. When insulation surpasses the necessary level for your region’s climate, additional material does not improve heat retention and may cause moisture buildup. Maintaining the correct balance is essential because over-insulation can lead to unintended issues without lowering energy costs. A professional assessment ensures that the amount of insulation is ideal for performance and efficiency, and helps avoid unnecessary expenses.
R-value is the measure of a material’s ability to resist heat transfer and directly determines insulation performance. A higher R-value means the material retains heat efficiently during winter and minimizes energy loss in warmer months. Selecting insulation with the appropriate R-value for your specific location is essential because environmental conditions and installation areas significantly influence energy efficiency. Over time, external factors like moisture may degrade the R-value, which underscores the importance of periodic evaluation.
Insulation damage occurs in several forms, including mold growth, pest infestations, water intrusion, and electrical harm. Damaged insulation compromises heat retention and significantly increases energy expenses while posing serious health risks. Immediate removal and replacement of compromised insulation are imperative to restore optimal performance and ensure the safety of your home. Regular inspections will identify these issues early, allowing for swift corrective action that maintains efficiency and protects occupants.
