"Chris came by for a normal AC tuneup and as he was finishing up, we told him about some issues with our dishwasher and master bathroom sink and asked if he knew a plumber. He took care of both our problems right then and there! I’m not sure there’s anything he can’t fix. Chris is our go to guy for EVERYTHING ac/furnace/plumbing and he should be yours too!"

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
"Professional, Professional, Professional? did I mention Professional. I was and am extremely happy with the solar system provided by Golden West Energy. Scott and his crew paid attention to the details and cleaned up the job site every day. Permits and inspections happened quickly. I had a friend who contracted for solar panels on his house 3 or 4 months before I even gave Golden West Energy the approval to get started. My installation was up and running with all approvals 3 weeks before his system was allowed to be turned on. If you are looking for a professional installation I would not hesitate to recommend Golden West Energy as one of the companies to give a shot to. If I had to do it again - they would be my choice?. They turn the Golden Rays of the sun into power - Go Golden West Energy - Thank You?. "
"Trevor is a outstanding representative and was thorough. He gave us a very detailed presentation and told us all our options for solar panels. Great customer service!"
"The guys an Independent Energy Solutions helped me finish the solar installation on my house, ensuring 100% code compliance, and finalizing the connections to the grid. They were extremely responsive and very quick. They have since helped a number of the homeowners in our neighborhood fix and/or upgrade systems originally installed by Shea Homes (original home builder) in 2002 and 2003. "
Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts
A blower door test shouldn’t take more than an hour, and most can be completed in less than 30 minutes. Expect the test to take longer once you start searching for leaks with thermal imaging or want to include sealing such leaks in the time estimate. The test doesn’t take much time and can’t be rushed, but it will take longer in large homes or those with many air leaks.
Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
Setting your AC unit to 78 degrees can, indeed, help you save energy. In fact, according to experts, every degree you turn the unit up could save you between 1% and 3% on your energy bills. That said, turning your unit off entirely while you’re out might actually be less efficient than keeping it on at a higher temperature. Why? The unit will need to work extra hard to cool the house back off again after all those hot hours.
While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.
The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency.
A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.
