"We had two major plumbing jobs done recently by this company. The first was to replace the water line in the crawl space and to install cleanouts; the second was to replace the sewer line in front of the house. After the second job was done, we noticed that the sprinkler valve in the front of the house had been broken. It sits next to the area where the sewer line work was done. After at least two weeks, much hedging, and many delays, we were finally able to get this valve replaced by the company. However, they did not wire it correctly, and the system could not be controlled from the panel on the back of the house. Today when someone else went to reconfigure it, he completed the work and then claimed that the wires to operate the two sprinkler zones in the front were nonexistent. This is absolutely false; I have lived in this house for 12 years and always had two sprinkler zones in the front yard. This needs to be repaired so that it is back to the way it was before this was all broken, but he claims there's nothing he can do. On top of this, when I asked a simple question about whether or not I should turn the valve on/off or just use the control panel, he said that the whole sprinkler system hadn't been set up but that they would be happy to do yet another project for us and do it the "right way." I don't quite understand how this company can claim to have the expertise to reconfigure our entire system but not fix a minor wiring problem. It feels like we are being manipulated into giving them more projects and therefore more money. I would like this issue fixed without paying them for any other projects. After being unable to resolve this with the plumbers who had done the work on our system, I called the company and spoke to a manager. She was able to send someone out to our house who knew more about sprinkler systems and to finally resolve the problem. The company made it clear that they wanted us to be happy with the service, and the manager was very gracious. I would just like to see this level of communication and professionalism across the board. The people who do the work need to request help if they cannot fix something, and they need to understand that proposing bigger jobs instead of fixing a smaller one is not a good way to instill trust. Thank you!"

"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

DIY solar panel installations are hard to manage by yourself. You’ll likely need some help or prior experience to make the project worth the effort.

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.

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.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.
