"install was great and very quick. my only complaint would be on the programs for solar and how that all works for the buyer. i had to figure out the tax side on my own and the rebates went to solar company. price was ok but after the mountain of phone calls from other companies the price was on the high side."

"It all went well. We came home from a vacation to find our 24 year old furnace had conked out during a very cold snap in December. Aire Serv sent someone out the next day who gave us all the options available. Salesman was professional and knowledgeable. He provided us with electric heaters to bring our house up from 40 degrees to our comfort zone of 67 degrees in bedroom, kitchen and family room for the weekend until the installers could come. The installers were polite, professional and punctual so that we were up and running the new high efficiency furnace the same day. Business office was helpful in providing the documents and information needed for the energy rebate. Love my new smart thermostat."
"Very positive experience. I barely clicked submit, when Brent responded by phone to my project request, and was here to give a free quote within the hour. He and his 2 crew members were personable, efficient, careful around houseplants & landscape. And when they left, I couldn't tell they had been here, except for my sparkling clean windows. I'll definitely call Brent again in the future, and happily refer my friends to Clear Image."
"We use Dish and we have had them for years. Obviously I am comfortable with them. The cost of service fluctuates a little. I haven't had to call them for years but when I do call they do respond so I can't complaint. I haven't had any problems."
In most cases, solar panels are covered by homeowners insurance because they are considered a permanently attached part of the home, and you may not need additional coverage. However, it is essential to read the fine print of your specific policy to understand the extent of the coverage, as some policies might only cover certain types of damage, such as hail. Always check with your insurance provider before installing solar panels to ensure your policy provides adequate coverage for your investment.
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-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you’ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.
Removing solar panels can be straightforward, but it’s not necessarily a simple process. Your contractor needs to prevent damage—not only to your panels but also to your roof and electrical system. Many systems are wired into the main electrical grid, and you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to disconnect it.
You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.
