Positive Energy

This is my second project with Positive Energy and I highly recommend their services. For our first project, they designed our mechanical systems and worked closely with our architect and builder to ensure the designs were feasible. Four years later, we still love the indoor air comfort at our place. The system is quiet and consumes very low energy. We are now into our second project and have completed the design phase for it. Once again, it was a great experience working with the Positive Energy team and I'm excited to implement their plans for our second project.

I'm a general contractor specializing in complex custom homes and have worked with Positive Energy on a net zero home in Seattle. They were a pleasure to work with at every step of the project. Our project considered both ground and air sourced heat pumps for heating and cooling and PE provided enough information in the design phase to allow for a price comparison, as well as sustainability metrics for a non-price related comparison. They also designed a high efficiency domestic hot water system for us. Designs and specifications were clear, and when we had questions they were quick to answer. They are the first mechanical engineer I recommend to clients. They're also all really, really nice!

I cannot recommend the perfectly named Positive Energy enough. We work with them on many projects (we try to get them on all our projects) and love hanging out with their team of experts. They are capable, competent and passionate about building healthy homes for their clients. Some clients scoff at the idea of hiring a mechanical designer when the installer claims to be able to do it for "free" but after designing and building many homes, it is well worth the cost in the long run. They help prevent structural coordination issues, change orders, and poorly performing and uncomfortable homes. Many of the best builders and architects in town won't even do a house unless Positive Energy is on the team and if that doesn't speak to the value they bring I don't know what else will.

I have followed the work of Positive Energy for a long time, as peer in the field and sometimes collaborator I know there is no company more knowledgeable than them. Through their community outreach programs like the podcast and monthly happy hours I have learned so much and been able to apply that knowledge to my own clients and homeowners. As far as their work with homeowners they have been instrumental in pushing the industry in the right direction by providing the best designs possible for building top notch mechanical systems. If I run across a project to complex or above my pay grade this is the company I send people to without question. They are leaders and trail blazers in this complex field of comfort, indoor air quality and best practice building, cant recommend them enough.

Positive Energy is the most intelligent, thoughtful, experienced team of building environment professionals I've ever worked with. Kristof is always the smartest person in the room. Miguel is out to help people make smart environmentally friendly decisions. Their team of experts is second to none. You won't regret having them on your project team.
