"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

Installing solar panels is worth it if you’re frustrated with paying high utility bills, live in a sunny location, and qualify for tax credits and incentives. Most homeowners cut between $650 and $1,500 from their utility bills each year by installing solar panels. Over the course of your panel’s warranty, you could save anywhere from $16,300 to $37,500, though those in sunny areas with high energy costs could save more than $100,000.

You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.

Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It’s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system’s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.

For most U.S. homeowners, switching to solar energy is an excellent investment. A properly sized solar array can significantly reduce your electric bill, saving money on utilities every month. Most homeowners enjoy savings that cover the cost of their solar systems within 12 years and then turn a profit. Additionally, federal and state tax incentives are available that help make solar an even better and more profitable investment.

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.
