Eco Environments

"Chris, came out personally and took a look at our A/C unit in a house we were turning into a rental. He fixed it on the spot replacing only the capacitor. This house is being turned into a rental and he surely will get the phone calls as repairs and services are needed. Thank you."

"This is an unsolicited review of my experiences with EcoEnvironments of Loveland, OH, June 2014. For those that want me to "get to the point", here is the bottom line: This firm provides a product and a service that combines high quality with a good value for the money. They are professional and they are thorough. They have different product lines. I went with a variable speed ClimateMaster geo-thermal installation. I would do it again; with EcoEnvironments. Chris (the owner) is thorough, competent and caring. He won't be happy until you are happy. What I wanted was a quality system, installed by caring professionals, at a competitive price (I didn't need to have the lowest price available in the Mid-West; what I did want was a genuinely caring group of people. In this regard, I believe I was successful). So Bottom line: I am happy I chose geo-thermal and I am happy I chose this firm to install my geo-thermal system. OK ... now on to the thorough review. Why EcoEnvironments? I first read about them in the Cincinnati Enquirer (thewritingfiendatlarge.w…) [there is a link to a PDF of the article in this link]. I had spoken to other firms. One "leader" said they would have a difficult time getting the drilling truck in our development. Another said they would be disposing the drilling waste (think 4" wide times 230' times two wells!) "over the hill" (where our lake was located). Another said they were well experienced in the area of geo-thermal, as they had installed 3 systems. Yes. Three. EcoEnvironments had installed over 200 systems. Getting the drilling rig to my yard proved to be of no issue. And the drilling waste? They dealt with it. It never made it anywhere close to the lake. EcoEnvironments was patient with me (took a while for me to decide to go this route). They didn't pressure me. They didn't try and upsell me. They consulted with me and my needs - they didn't try and push me ... they guided me. They were professional. The employees were respectful of our home and they were respectful of my spouse and her specific needs (she's a "bit" neat). They recycled all of the metal from the old system (important to me - why dump it in a landfill?). They gave us a time line and that time line was met. They taught us how the system worked. I have been so pleased with the ClimateMaster system, and EcoEnvironments, that I have decided to utilize their services if we follow through with our intent to build a home in Florida in a few years (clearly I will have to work out the logistics). It goes without saying that Florida will have similar contractors, but that gives you an idea of the level of satisfaction we have with this firm... There is no denying that a geo-thermal system is more expensive upfront than a conventional heating and air system. That said, something is only expensive in the absence of value. There is meaningful, beneficial value associated with this technology. Further, the 30% Federal tax credit helps a great deal in offsetting the higher upfront costs. Personally, I would not go back. Concluding thoughts...I have rebuilt three houses. My grandfather owned a major construction firm. I have utilized many contractors over the past 20 years. I have never taken the time to post such a lengthy review (or any review for that matter). So why have I written this? (1) to try and help you & (2) I wanted you to know that Chris and EcoEnvironments did a great and caring job for our family. Some people will question the authenticity of this review. My response? Contact Chris and he will hook you up with me...come see it for yourself. Good luck in your decision making around geo-thermal and possibly employing EcoEnvironments to serve your heating and air needs. I hope you found this review helpful - Jahn."
