"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.

"I am very happy with Dish. The price is comparable to anybody else. I have never checked the price of anyone else. The only other ones to compete there would be satellite dishes as part of the island is not even wired for cable. The quality of the service is good."

"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
  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

The actual time it takes to construct the solar farm is relatively short, taking between 2 and 4 months on average. That timeline is dependent on site conditions, crew size, and the overall size of the solar farm.

However, the time it takes to get the ball rolling is significantly longer, ranging from 3 to 5 years. With a project of this scale, you’ll need to obtain all of the proper permits and approvals to start breaking ground, and depending on your location, that could be an extended process.

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?

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.

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.
