"We call Dan at Ethical Plumbing. He took our call immediately and arrived within 15 minutes and shut off the water to our house to stop the leak. He then diagnosed the problem, which required an access panel to be cut in from the closet next to the shower. He gave us a quote of $850. He capped the pipe and turned on the water. He came the next day and fixed the problem. As he could do the job of less time than he had initially anticipated, he only charged me $308 instead of the $850. That is what I call an ethical plumber and I will continue to use his services in the future."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .

Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.

While solar panels can be a great investment, they aren’t ideal for every roof. For example, some roofs, especially older or structurally weak ones, may struggle to support the added weight, leading to potential damage. Roofs with complex designs, obstructions, or limited sunlight exposure might not provide optimal conditions for solar energy production. Consider these downsides when determining if solar panel installation costs are worth it.

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.
