Q: How much does it cost to install solar panels?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-solar-panels.htm#">cost to install solar panels</a> is around <b>$27,000</b> on average, but you could pay between <b>$4,500 and $54,000</b> or more, depending on a few factors. Some of the most influential cost factors for installing solar panels include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Size of the system you need to offset your energy consumption</p></li><li><p>Amount of sunlight </p></li><li><p>Brand of solar panels </p></li><li><p>Add-on products, like solar batteries or electric vehicle (EV) chargers</p></li><li><p>Labor costs of the company </p></li><li><p>Home&rsquo;s geographical location</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you run a well pump just on solar power?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to make sure you have a big enough solar panel to meet your well pump&rsquo;s power demands, but you can use solar power to fully operate your well pump. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to have battery storage to hold the solar power so you can still use your well pump after dark.</p></div>

Q: Is the morning sun better for solar panels?

• <div><p>The morning sun can be better for solar panels because it&rsquo;s often brighter and clearer than the afternoon sun. The brighter the sun, the more energy solar panels produce. The strongest rays occur during midday, which tends to be prime time for solar energy generation. Most homes get a mix of morning and afternoon sunlight.</p></div>

Q: Are flat or pitched roofs better for solar panels?

• <div><p>You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to climb on the roof to install solar tubing?

• <div><p>Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-learn-ladder-safety.htm">safe ladder practices</a>. If you&rsquo;re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.</p></div>

"Beware of shipping issues with this company. Ordered an ice maker installation kit on 10/10/25. Shipping was due no later than 10/20 according to company and FedEx tracking. FedEx tracking showed the package at their facility for 8 days without moving beginning on 10/15. Called FedEx 3 times. Each time they said they cannot find package and I have to contact shipper. Shipper has to make a claim, they will not mark it as lost. Called Appliance Parts Pros twice. Each time they say FedEx has to mark package lost before they will do anything. They also state they have to wait 14 days from them before doing anything because of their contract with FedEx. I don't care about their contract, I want what was ordered and paid for.

Area Heating & Cooling Celebrating 40 years serving Clark County. Locally owned and operated, we understand that your comfort is important and the quality of air in your home is a priority for you and your family. As the industry leading provider in Clark County, let us solve your heating and cooling needs; from a maintenance to keep your equipment running at optimal capacity, to a complicated repair or a full system change out, we are here to keep your home comfortable. The advantage of using Area Heating & Cooling, Inc is that we take the time to understand and resolve your specific questions and needs. From filter questions, noises in your unit, or why your heating bill seems so high. We are here to help! If you're building a new home or want to replace the equipment you currently have in the Vancouver, WA area we offer a full installation and service department ready to answer your questions. FLAT RATE PRICING. SERVICE HOURS: 7 TO 6 MON-SAT (no OVERTIME during regular hours) INSTALLATION HOURS: MON-FRI 8:00-5:00 SHOWROOM HOURS: MON-FRI 8:00-5:00

"I contacted Area Heating and Cooling after our AC stopped functioning on 6/22/21 Due to the hot weather and high demand, they were unable to schedule an appointment until 6/28/21. The technician confirmed that the blower motor and capacitor were shorted out and needed to be replaced. He also provided a verbal estimate of $1,100 to complete the work which seemed somewhat steep to me not knowing what the repairs entitled. I was charged $160.20 for that first Service call and was left without AC on that day when the outside temperature went up to a blistering 114° which was the hottest day ever recorded in Vancouver, WA. Another Technician came to perform the repairs on 7/2/21. Replacing the blower motor and capacitor involved removing 6 screws of the blower cabinet cover, 4 screws of the blower motor assembly, 3 screws from the motor bracket, 1 nut on the blower motor collar to remove the motor from the blower housing; another screw on the strap to remove the capacitor, removing the wires from the capacitor and motor and putting everything back together in reverse order with the new motor and capacitor. The verbal estimate ended up being $1184.70 with tax for which I paid and received the invoice 2 days later. Since Area Heating and Cooling never provided me with a written estimate of the repair, I was not able to look up the parts beforehand and left only to accept the verbal estimate, but what can you do when you can’t find someone else to make the repairs. High heat, high demand so..? High prices? Hoping to find some justification on the invoice for the high cost but the invoice only listed: Non stock blower motor repair $800.00 and non stock capacitor repair $300.00. First of all, it’s not a repair but a replacement. Second, The first Technician on 6/28/21 replaced the capacitor which he had in his truck but since the motor was dead, he removed it. How could this be “Non Stock” if it’s in the truck? I looked up the manufacturer website on line and was able to find reference numbers for the parts that had been replaced and found a motor between $150.00 and $264.00, the capacitor is available from $15.00 to $30.00. Apparently there is a markup for labor but a 300% to 530% for the motor and between 1,000% and 2,000% markup for the capacitor. This is robbery! I am not planning on contesting the cost with Area Heating and Cooling but the least I can do is post this review to warn potential customers of how this company conducts business."

"Rick and Don were amazing. they responded to calls quickly and were able to come out relatively soon. I had an issue with the water heater a few days after install and rick answered the call and gave me great information moving forward to fix the issue. When installing a gas line Don knew my wife and I were fairly desperate for it to be installed and was unstoppable in his efforts to achieve that goal for us. I've used cascadia plumbing 3 times in total now and would call them first, recommend them to family and friends, and trust their judgment. Amazing caring and genuine people to work with."
