"From the initial sale to completion, I was very happy with them. I evidently never and quot;completedand quot;: my Angie's List review so this is like two years later.
Unlike some of the other reviews, I received a quote prior to starting the work. The quote was clearly explained to me by the sales rep and given to me in wiriting. I did not pay anything until I approved every detail of their work well after completion.
They arrived on time and were professional and polite. They were not bothered that I was looking over their shoulders the whole time and they patiently explained every step of the process. They also put either runners over my floor or wore the little booties over their shoes.
Now they completely removed my old a/c unit that was no longer operational and also removed my old furnace. Cooney was so quick and clean I never noticed the units gone until I saw the vacant spots. Everything was installed fast.
The techs, whose individual names I cannot remember now but wish I could because they were so nice, took their time and explained every detail of the furnace and a/c unit. I bought the high-end Carrier Infinity model so it had a lot of bells and whistles including the touch screen thermostat.
Since that time I have had them back for two annual inspections (which I would do anyway but they were a part of my warranty agreement) in which I received the same excellent treatment. My daughter handled the firstone and they even explained everything to her in detail.
The last one in September 2014, involved a faulty gas regulator and my furnace was not firing up. They were there within 14 hours and I again, received the same courteous service. The problem was diagnosed and fixed quickly. My annual inspection was rolled into the service call so as to save me a couple dollars that I thought was nice.
I would use them again if I had to and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking such service. I am a single father with two daughters and I do penny pinch but don't mind paying for quality service. That is what I got from Cooney.
Buy with confidence with Cooney.

"Needed our big wrap around porch repainted. Called Fourever cure and they got back to me right away. The guys ended up doing a great job and used extra trim paint to redo the door. Would recommend if you need a quality job done quick in the area."

"There were two crews working at the same time.  The insulation crew headed by Jim worked outside for three days in the extreme heat, the 2nd day hitting a temp of 101.  They insulated  inside and out and you would never know they were here.  They cleaned up every last scrap and vacuumed all the residue.  They were efficient, professional and  personable to work with.    The HVAC crew, Mike and Frank had to remove my cast iron furnace that the previous owners had set in cement; (the guys said it looked like the furnace was put in and the house was built around it!)  It was quite a job getting that out of my basement but, they did it!. They were also very professional, friendly and answered all my questions with courtesey and information I could understand.  They even programmed my thermostat and explained how I could change it if needed.    I now have a high efficiency heating and air con system that should decrease my energy bills to a third of what I was paying and I won't have to freeze this winter.    I would highly recommend Green Homes and will call on them again when I am ready to replace my old windows."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:

  • Soot: If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.

  • Debris, dirt, and leaves: These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.

  • Pollen: Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.

  • Bird droppings: Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. 

Solar shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, a lifespan comparable to that of traditional solar panels and standard asphalt shingles. The exact duration depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the installation. Because solar shingles are a newer technology, there is limited data on their actual long-term performance. Factors that can impact their durability and longevity include weather conditions, roof ventilation, and regular maintenance. To extend the life of your solar shingles, you should conduct regular inspections and cleaning, and make any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.

Rooftop solar panels supply energy to a single household, where a solar farm can power multiple homes at once with clean energy. Residential rooftop solar panels cost more per watt with a lower project total, and those panels only service the residence they are installed on (in most circumstances). With a solar farm, multiple households can buy into the project and share the overall cost.

Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use safe ladder practices. If you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.

It’s possible that installing solar panels can lead to mold on the roof. The panels themselves are not the issue. Problems caused by improper installation—such as roof leaks and mounts that aren’t sealed properly—can cause mold. Another potential cause of mold is debris accumulation under panels, which can trap moisture. If you live somewhere with extreme snow, rain, or hail, your home could be more prone to mold.
