"We purchased an older home and the living room was without a ceiling fan. I also noticed some other electrical issues that weren't right so ultimately I hired Dwayne to remedy a number of issues. I took Dwayne around the property and we discussed what needed to be done. Project included a ceiling fan in the living room, an exhaust fan in the bathroom, reducing the load on circuit breakers to name a few. I also wanted an electrical panel in the garage for a 220 hookup. Dwayne discussed it all and made recommendations. Later that day he provided an estimate. I thought it seemed reasonable but had nothing to compare it to. Ultimately I feel I got my money's worth. Dwayne is a big guy and he had to go up in the attic to run wiring for the fans. My attic has blown in insulation and a very low roof line. He had very little room to maneuver and had to lay on his belly with his nose inches above the insulation, but he got to work done in record time. Everything went smoothly until the garage. Nothing about the garage wiring was correct. In the end Dwayne hat to run new wiring under concrete to get power to the garage which was fraught with complications and took a day and a half longer than anticipated. My bill remained the same as his estimated which is why I decided a got my money's worth. The only extra was a ice cold beer which he highly deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend Dwayne Olney to anyone wanting any type of electical done."

"They did fine. They could be better. When they came out, they didn't bring the Rock box so it caused another service fee and the guy that was here was supposed to take care of that. I think he called them to take it off but they didn't. So its still billing and its all screwed up. They went up more than they said they'd go up. They had to come out twice."

Solar Panels FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They’ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if solar panel installation costs are worth it.

Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:

  • Soot: If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.

  • Debris, dirt, and leaves: These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.

  • Pollen: Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.

  • Bird droppings: Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. 

Ideally, you want to place them facing true south. This is different from what a compass shows, which is called the magnetic south. You can find true south by using an online calculator as long as you know the longitude and latitude of your property. Solar panel placement is key to maximizing the energy you generate, so this is an important step.

Solar roofing shingles may qualify for significant federal tax incentives through programs like the Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers up to 30% of installation costs through 2032. State and local governments often provide additional credits, and utility companies may offer further rebates or net metering programs, depending on the state. Just look into the qualification requirements beforehand because installation, documentation, and technical standards can impact eligibility. Consult the current guidelines and a tax professional to maximize available benefits.
