Green Collar Operations

The Green Collar team installed new insulation and sealed gaps in my attic ducts. They were honest about what needed to be done and did not oversell or overcharge. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend them.

I had the Green Collar team replace all of my ducts, diffusers, plenums, insulate my attic and seal all doors and sweeps. This team is professional & efficient, they were in and out in two days. They worked super clean and were conscious of the environment around them. I was informed of all steps ahead of time and they were super organized. This is a small business with a family like structure, most of the team has been there many years and that's what you wanna see. The job was completed in late September and I noticed immediate results, in the hottest of days my AC would cool faster and cycle less. During that last two freezing weather events the heater cycles less and maintains its temp. Green Collar filed all the rebate paper work for us and got us our rebates from the city quite quickly.

Green Collar Operations came to assess an issue with our above garage room that was much too hot in summer and cold in winter. They advised beefing up the insulation in the attic and upgrading some of the ductwork. The diagnostic was 100% right, the temperature in this room is now on par with the rest of the house. Another well-rated local company had blamed the fiberglass insulation in the garage ceiling and attic which they deemed worthless - quoting 10 times the price to replace with foam insulation not including fixing holes in the plasterboards... so I am indeed glad I asked for a second opinion from Green collar. The team was very nice, punctual, left no mess (wearing shoe protection) and the whole process was very straight forward and the price was very low considering it solved this issue for us. Highly recommended.

We got bids from three local insulation and weatherization companies, and I was impressed with the comprehensive nature of Green Collar's proposal. It was itemized so that we could prioritize and chose, if we had wanted to do that.All the recommendations were clearly explained and questions answered. The actual installation was on-time, quick, and easy. Everything was done in a professional manner. We felt that we got great value and outstanding service. I would gladly recommend Green Collar to anyone looking for insulation and weatherization services.

I called Green Collar Operations based on their reviews and this company does not disappoint! They are very professional, provide exceptional customer service, are detailed oriented, extremely knowledgeable, and performed a great job. I had a new HVAC system put in and because I did not have a smooth, seamless experience I decided to give my business to Green Collar for duct work and add insulation. Bill Cook came to my house and conducted a full inspection. What an exemplary employee to represent the company - professional, thorough & very knowledgeable; took the time to check the work that had been done by the HVAC company and provided recommendations they had overlooked. He calmly answered all my questions, and created 2 quotes with budget options, one that included how to obtain energy rebates from the city. Bill worked it all out and help me fit in what I needed within my budget. He was prompt and returned my calls - very customer centric. Jacob & Troy came to install the insulation, performed the duct work, & replaced vents. They were respectful, meticulous and did an excellent job - they ensured everything was cleaned up and took pictures to send to the main office as part of the quality check process. Here's where the company stands out from all others: the owner of the company comes out to perform a quality inspection. That's speaks volumes and exemplifies the importance of not only exceptional customer centric practices but someone who operates with integrity, stands by the work, and leads by example. I highly recommend them.

We needed an overhaul of our ductwork. Green Collar took out all the old ducts, rebuilt the plenum, installed new ducts as well as jumpers to all of the bedrooms, they tuned and balanced the system, weatherproofed the whole house, and then blew in a bunch of new insulation. Our AC has been running less during the hottest month of the year and we couldn't be happier.

We were really impressed with their communication, the workers were wonderful, they did great work, and didn't leave a mess when they were done. Hopefully, we won't need any more HVAC work for a long time, but if and when we do, we will definitely be calling Green Collar again.

After all these years I'm still cleaning up from using Green Collar. Yesterday I removed all the old calk from the last window they worked on.

1.0 star rating 12/1/2011

I hired Green Collar via a sub contractor AirCo (who installed a new AC system) BTW, this reputable AC company no longer works with Green Collar.

1. Long story short, one of the guys dropped a bucket of sealing mastic on our carpet. They sent a guy out to clean it, it didn't work. They mailed out a $150 check but now the carpet I have in about 1,000SF needs to be replaced.

2. The doors were not sealed properly, I can still feel the air flowing - even after inviting them back to fix the problem.

3. The cheap clear caulk they used around the inside windows has fully dried and looks horrible. It was applied too wide and thin, and now becomes a permanent dust collector.

4. When the performance "test" was completed, it wasn't clear to me that anything was really being tested. I might be wrong here but I would think a before and after test would have meaning.

All in all a horrible experience, I really liked the owner but bottom line, they hire kids who don't care about your house, thus a bad company to work with. They have a great website, Green Collar is a very marketing savvy group but don't get fooled into allowing them into your house. Additionally, I wouldn't put it past them to "stack" their own reviews..

We hired Green Collar Operations to help ensure that our house was operating as efficiently as possible in terms of HVAC. After performing a free audit, the recommended sealing ducts and can lights, upgrading some vents, and adding insulation. We had a number of hiccups on our end, including a need to pause the project when they encountered evidence of raccoon activity in our attic. The team was extremely communicative, accommodating, professional, and friendly. I recommend them without reservation. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Green Collar. They helped me reduce indoor humidity by consolidating my two HVAC units into one. The initial visits involved proper planning and design for the duct work replacement. There may be some room for improvement on the testing that they do after the work is done, which in my case had to be done twice. All in all I am happy with the result and would highly recommend Green Collar for any duct work related project.

Contacted Green Collar Operations and immediately received a phone call back for an in house inspection and assessment. Adam Eastberg was prompt, called in advance of his arrival and listened to my concerns about several of the trouble spots we had along with areas of the house we were losing temperature. Also had them review our AC distribution flow and vents, along with the vent plates throughout the house.

Adam was kind enough to break out all elements of the job to fit our budget and explain what work needed to be done, materials used and time/labor. He even drew out our current vent and distribution flow and explained what the new flow would look like to better serve our house. Green Collar was quick to get the work scheduled, showed up on time and promptly completed the work on our house. Upon completion the business owner came to our house to review the work to ensure it was done to the highest standard. Was very impressed by the quality of work, the competency of the explanation.
This group was a pleasure to work with and I only wish that more contractors operated the way this team does.
Air Distribution Flow, Insulation, Crawl Space covers - call this team and give them a five star. I've already seen a tremendous difference in our heating and cooling costs and only wish I'd called them sooner
