Lemcool's Heating & Coooling

Absolutely wonderful. My former HVAC contractor dropped the ball. Lemcool's came in and installed what I needed in time for my staff to move in. They were professional and efficient.

It went well, no unhappy surprises. It was a large project, and Mike was responsible for the major portion. He and his crew installed the boiler, the piping, the slave hot water tank (a.k.a. desuperheater or something like that), and the hot water tubing -- some laid down on the floor from above, some stapled from below, depending on whether or not the flooring was going to be replaced. I ripped up the carpeting in the dining and living room and pulled the fasteners out of the subfloor. In this area the tubing was installed from above. I decided not to resurface the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms, and in these areas the tubing was stapled from below. The house has an addition -- a laundry room, about 300 square feet in area -- and the floor sits above a craw space. Here the tubing was stapled from below, the installer having to crawl around in cramped quarters and pretzel himself into position to put up the tubing. People who know about these things (including a building inspector and a friend who is a pipefitter by trade) have all praised the quality of the design, the layout, the components, and the workmanship. The system performs very well. Even though we've had an unusually cold winter thus far (I'm wiring this on March 1st, 2015), the house has been very comfortable. Nice, even, silent heat. Even though the design goal was to keep the main floor of the house warm, the downstairs is warm too (the tubing is essentially in the ceiling on that level). There is a small office on a third floor, and it is fairly warm also -- often about 60 degrees even though there is no heat directly applied (a future project). The laundry room remains 40-45 degrees as planned (warm enough to prevent pipes bursting [again]). Heat bills have been very reasonable, even lower than expected. According to DTE, my natural gas heat bills are about half those of the average house of similar size. All in all, I couldn't be happier with Mike, the quality of the work, the performance of the system, and the operating costs. I wish it had been cheaper upfront, but I have no regrets on that front either.
