All in all, a not so satisfactory experience. And the furnace is loud. It is in crawlspace and we hear it start up and power down every time.

We were not contacted by ImaginEnergy to inspect our home's needs for solar until 2 months later in December of 2009. When they did come out, it was brief and they checked our roof, our attic and our main power box. They stated that we would need to replace the South half of our roof before the solar system could be installed, but other than that, WE WERE GOOD. Disappointed that it was now Winter and replacing our roof in Winter was not our first choice (we could have done it in Sept/Oct had an inspector come by soon after we signed up), we opted to go forward and risk getting the roof done in mid-Winter. Fortunately the weather wasn't terrible and we found a roofer who did the job well enough and luckily didn't break our brand new windows on our deck in the process. By mid-Jan of 2010, we informed ImaginEnergy that we were ready to go with the roof and not long after, the solar installation begun. Our first surprise: ImaginEnergy doesn't do its own solar installation or electrical wiring----they outsourced the solar panel rack install to one company and the entire electrical and solar panel install to a Bend Oregon company, 3D Electric, which did a great job. Since ImaginEnergy was acting as a general contractor and not as an installer, we would have liked to know this up front. Further, we would have expected them to coordinate the timing of our roofer (recommended by ImaginEnergy) with the subsequent rack installer solar panel rack roof work. That wasn't done well at all as our roofer removed its toe-boards on a Friday and the very next Monday, ImaginEnergy's solar rack installer showed up, got on our roof and hammered entirely new nail holes and installed new toe boards into our BRAND NEW ROOF! This should have been coordinated to not require piercing our roof shingles a second time. Meanwhile, before installing the racks, I pointed out to IMaginEnergy that their solar roof plot and layout didn't show our chimney and I showed photos that indicated that the chimney would shade at least 1 solar panel until 1pm each day if they installed the panels as they planned. They came out again and unlike the first insufficient assessment, actually got on our roof up near where the solar panels would be and checked---they agreed and rewrote the solar plan to shift one panel to the East side instead. So the installation gets completed by 3D Electric and the next day ImaginEnergy comes out with the City Inspector. First thing the inspector wants to see: Our electric panel. Within 5 minutes the inspector REJECTS our solar/electric grid-tie system because our electric panel is unsafe. Solutions offered are to either replace the entire panel and power feed system or move the existing box up the wall, cutting and splicing a lot of load wires, but having the main line (which was evidently spliced) unspliced. I was dumbfounded and asked the ImaginEnergy representative \"why didn't you guys tell us this panel was unacceptable in December when you inspected our panel?\" Response: \"We only inspected the panel's 'capacity' not whether it would meet code or not\". Cha-ching---our solar install would now cost us $2300 more for a new 200amp main electric panel and service drop install. And without us doing this or something nearly expensive, we were in electric and financial limbo land---our solar system was complete, and ImaginEnergy expected us to pay in full, yet we could not get the system approved and we could not get credit for energy delivered to the grid until that happened. So despite my pointing out to ImaginEnergy that they shared in the blame on this and should make it good somehow, it fell on deaf ears. I asked ImaginEnergy for electrical recommendations and they said they'd get back to me. Two days later I hadn't heard a peep. So I went to AngiesList and found RED's ELECTRIC. That day their President came out, looked at our situation, gave an estimate and said that they could begin the work in 2 days, finishing in 2 days and not having any significant electric downtime. That all went smoothly enough, though the City Inspector again was picky on things that had nothing to do with the work being done. Despite that, after 2 more inspections, the system was approved and PGE installed a new meter. Bottom Line for our experience with ImaginEnergy: They were overwhelmed with 100's of customers as part of Solarize Portland. They were too busy to properly assess and respond to new customer needs to include inability to give early assessment. In our case, we didn't expect to have to replace either our roof or our electric panel when we signed up for the program. Two months later we accepted that we'd spend $5500 more for half of a roof replace, but it was nearly 2 more months more and AFTER the full installation that we found out that we had to pay another $2300 for an electric panel. This despite the fact that they do have an electrician on staff who could have told us our electric panel wouldn't fly. I suppose I was most disappointed that they outsourced the entire solar installation---I could have done that myself. However I was pleased that 3D Electric did a great job and really know how to do that work. In the end, we feel that we should have been given help, if not some sort of monetary satisfaction when the inspector noted something that ImaginEnergy should have told us up front. Their insistence that it wasn't their problem, their lack of timely response to our needs to correct the problem and unwillingness to offer any compensation left us pretty bitter. Despite their being super cool individuals, we would likely not use their services again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/or/portland/imagine-energy-reviews-431612.htm"},"position":10}]}

"After I called Masonry Waterproofing Byron came out to assess the problem. He saw immediately that moisture was coming through the concrete block wall of my work area and said that the outside of the wall needed to be dug up so that it could be sealed and have a vapor barrier installed. At that time he gave me a ballpark figure as I was having two other companies coming to look at the situation. I elected to go with Byron as he seemed to know best what needed to be done. He indicated that it could take up to 5 or 6 days, so we scheduled it to start the following Thursday morning. The crew, Andy, Michael and John arrived a little before 8:30 on the first day. They spread tarps around the area to hold the dirt as they dug (by hand). The wall was 35 linear feet and dug to a depth from 4 to 6 feet. They were very polite and professional. They worked together as a team and each one knew exactly what he was to do. The second day they applied three coats of sealer, applied the vapor lock and back-filled. Byron was able to send in some additional workers to help speed up the job. On the third day, with a crew of 5 or 6 people, they finished up with the French drain. They cleaned up the area each day and at the end of the project left the site spotless. It is my opinion that if you want quality work done professionally, you need to check with Masonry Waterproofing and Drainage Masters."

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Portland, OR
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.

In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
