"The technicians did a great job on the installation of the solar panels and the equipment that goes along with the panels. They were total professionals! They were also instrumental in getting everything up and running the way it should. Custom Home Service did a great job taking care of the details, and always had time for any of our questions. They did a great job!!"

"

Just having moved to a cold weather area, we were unfamiliar with the difference between a furnace and a boiler, so we bought the furnace maintenance check-up. When the technician arrive he was unsure what

to do as he specializes in furnaces and that was how the appointment was listed. He did the best he could, but to ensure we received the best service and to address concerns that he was unfamiliar with, he contacted his supervisor. Within 10 minutes his supervisor arrived and they performed the inspection together, so we knew we had gotten a thorough check-up. They did not try to sell us on a bunch of things wrong with the unit though it is from the mid-80s, but they did state that there would be an additional cost as pricing is different for furnaces and boilers. I was a bit upset at first, but with the quality of service and that it was our mistake I was happy to pay. Further, we discuss the solar tank (we have older solar panels) which was showing rust at the bottom. Again, the supervisor gave a suggestion of buying a water sensor in case the tank ruptures while we are home, but didn't state it had to be changed out immediately. He suggested moving to a smaller wall-hung boiler  when we are ready to retire the current boiler and solar water heating system, but gave a rough estimate of $12k installed. He stated it would be about 20% more efficient, but again it was just a suggestion. They stated they would rather have repeat customers than try to squeeze every penny from someone and get a bad reputation. We will use them again as they were courteous, knowledgeable (if one didn't know, he was willing to ask for assistance), and very informative.

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.

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.

The time it takes to install solar panels depends on the number of panels and the size of your home, but installation takes between two and three days of work. While most contractors can install the panels over the course of a couple of days, switching to solar energy can take two to three months in total. This includes the time it takes to design the system, procure the parts, obtain the permits, install the panels, connect to the main power grid, and get an inspection.

The morning sun can be better for solar panels because it’s often brighter and clearer than the afternoon sun. The brighter the sun, the more energy solar panels produce. The strongest rays occur during midday, which tends to be prime time for solar energy generation. Most homes get a mix of morning and afternoon sunlight.

The best way to save money on solar panels is to take advantage of federal and state solar incentives. For example, the solar investment tax credit (ITC) offered by the federal government can save 30% of your total—if you can take the entire credit, which is based on income taxes owed—or an average of around $9,000. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) for state and local incentives that could save you even more.
