"My furnace went out on a Sunday and Service Today made it there in a matter of a few hours. Steven has to come back with a part the next day and got it running great! I was away during the “polar vortex” and when I came home my house was warm and cozy!!!"

"When I turned the water on to an outside faucet on Memorial Day, I discovered that the pipe had burst over the winter, causing a small flood in a wood-paneled room in my basement. I called Randy Lane & Sons the next day and they were able to get someone out that week. They called ahead to let me know they were on the way, then arrived promptly. We reviewed the miscellaneous plumbing issues (things I wasn't going to have someone come out and look at by themselves, but since they were there), then Ron got started on pulling paneling off the wall to get at the burst pipe, while his assistant worked on the bathroom sink drain. Everything on the list was completed, and the price was lower than I thought it would be."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

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.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional—especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn’t require utility services.

In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our state licensing tool to check if an installer you’re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.
