"Nate was very helpful in getting the job scheduled with the right product. Jake and Jay, the installers, arrived promptly, explained what they were doing, made needed changes to bring up to code, and cleaned up the area when done. I was very pleased with their work."

"I selected Home Energy Center based on Angie's List ratings and their coupon for a free diagnostic service call. Steve Cupps was fantastic. He arrived at our home on time and quickly diagnosed two problems. Although he had another service call to make at 5:00 pm, he returned at 7:30 with the required parts (three in all-two from his warehouse and one from an auto parts store) and finished the job. Since the weather was in the 90's every day, we were extremely grateful for his willingness to provide same day, after-hours service. They honored the Angie's List coupon and allowed us to avoid the costly bill of replacing our furnace and AC."

"This discount seems like a good deal, but it really isn't. this $29.99 procures such minimal service that it is quite meaningless. Once you contact Dish (which you must) you realize you could have done just as well or better just going directly to their website. Satellite Country really provides very little in terms of service or discount. I found it to be a bit of a run around. This was supposed to offer a $25 visa card so it seems your initial cost will be minimal. However, the retailer insists you mail them a form (that you must wait for them to send you) and you must send them a processing fee to obtain the card you were promised. To add insult to injury you must provide it by postal money order (which of course is not free) so your $25 is reduced to $22.05 before you ever see it. I found this tedious to say the least (which I am sure works to their advantage) and many months later the envelope is still sitting on my desk waiting for me to make time to buy the money order.  I will be more careful of coupons offered in the future.

"This guy was just great! He came out immediately when we called him and found that the bearings in the pump had burned up. He went and picked up the new unit for us and installed it the same day. His price was several hundred less than we paid when we had to replace it the last time and that was quite some time ago. I will definitely be calling him back if need be and I recommend his service to others."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.

There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:

  • Will you handle permits for the installation?

  • Does your total price include the equipment and labor?

  • How long do you expect the installation process to take?

  • What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?

  • Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?

  • Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?

  • Will you file for solar incentives for me?

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

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.
