"We had a large solar system installed a year ago by a local solar company. After a year the system melted down due to some faulty wiring. It took a month before the system was functional again, but our battery was also taken out in the melt down. We were told it would take a few weeks to get the paperwork through the system to warranty out our battery. After waiting three months we decided to contact Green Ridge Solar to see if they could help with our problem. To say they were life savers is an understatement. They answered the phone immediately, understood the problem and sent out a very experienced electrician in a very timely manner. They were able to warranty out our existing battery and we decided to order an additional battery through their company. The new battery was only half the cost from the first one that was installed by the original company. They were fast, friendly and professional. I would hire them again in a heart beat."

"In preparation for a super hot summer, I decided it would be a good move to get my heat pump serviced early. Tasha made the entire process SO easy! She was very pleasant to work with and took the time to answer all of my questions about the service visit. Corey was great too when he came out. He was very professional and super informative about how to care for the unit so it lasts many years to come. Overall this was a great experience and I feel more confidant as a new homeowner!"

"From his report : Cut open sheetrock in garage to expose section of burst CPVC. Replaced frost free sillcock/ hosebib and section of CPVC with PEX pipe, and put insulation on. Checked for leaks, none.
My comments: I thought they would have some fancy equipment to find the exact location of the leak. Actually, he had me turn the water supply on slowly while he looked around for water. It took a while for the water to come out so he was having a hard time tracking the leak down. This resulted in us unnecessarily moving out some additional shelving further back in the garage. Finally, he had me open the water supply up more and the water started coming out below the faucet at the front of the house. He did a good job of cutting the holes in the sheetrock in the right places. He then had to cut through another pressboard panel to reach inside the column and get at the back of the hosebib. The CPVC pipe was badly shattered right behind the hosebib. He asked me if the old hosebib was leaking or hard to turn at all, and if I wanted to replace it. It was working fine but since it was 17 years old I had him put on a new one. The PEX pipe with insulation and a new hosebib were quickly installed. We talked about the holes and I decided to use one of his plastic spring-fit covers over one of them, and I will likely re-sheetrock the other one. He cleaned up his work area well including taking away the old plumbing. Everything was finished in about an hour. I did not ask them for any quote in advance, and he just charged me for a flat rate hosebib replacement which is $235 plus tax. This is a little more than I was expecting after looking at costs for similar work on Angies list but the price does seem reasonable.

"They did a very good job, and they were careful not to damage siding or surrounding landscaping.   Cleaned up the work area each day, and upon completion left the area looking better than before the work started.   The best part -- no more leaking water in our basement.   I waited to write this review until we had been through a couple period of heavy rain.   Thanks Q!

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar panels can pay for themselves in five to 15 years, depending on the cost of your system, how much energy it generates, whether you qualify for incentives or power buybacks, and the price of energy in your area. Solar panels pay for themselves over time as they lower electricity bills, so it will take time to recoup your initial investment. However, the longer you have your system, the more money you can save and earn.

Ideally, you want to place them facing true south. This is different from what a compass shows, which is called the magnetic south. You can find true south by using an online calculator as long as you know the longitude and latitude of your property. Solar panel placement is key to maximizing the energy you generate, so this is an important step.

Professionals use the same methods to install solar shingles that they do for asphalt shingles, so you’ll often see a similar installation timeline of one to two days. The amount of time required will depend on the size and slope of your roof and the number of shingles installed. Weather conditions can delay installation, as working on a roof is unsafe during high winds or heavy rain.

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.

Solar shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When comparing solar shingles and solar panels, it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels. They also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.
