"John and Brian were prompt, professional, and had the work done in good time. They obviously work well together and enjoy their work. They gave me exactly what I wanted and didn't try to hard sell me something I didn't need. I would recommend definitely them, in fact I already have! Next time I need electrical work done, I am probably not going to even get bids, I will just call Greener Futures."

"Two men from Energy Star installed the new electric furnace and heat pump in two days. Removing the old system and installing the new one was a lot of work done well. They were friendly and cleaned up after themselves. The new system works well. Billing was done efficiently including a rebate from Puget Sound Energy."

"We were all set to spend close to $1000 on a new water heater. Told him that's what we needed.  This amazing guy came to our home. Said; 'you don't need a new water heater, just a new heat element' Gave us a year guarantee on his work and parts. He said'I don't like to charge people for work they don't need'
Who does that now a days? An honest man, I tell you. Thank you for being an honest person and a person with integrity. You've restored my faith in humanity. 
We gave him a dozen homemade organic chocolate chip cookies in our gratitude. 
HIRE this guy. you will be glad you did.

"From the beginning I was being put on the run around from Casey about coming out and looking at my unit. He gave the excuse that he was sick more than once. When he did finally come out to give the diagnostic, he did not have all of the correct equipment to fix the unit at that time. He was supposed to be here Friday at noon and he called about 1:30 pm and said they would not be here until around 3-3:30 pm. I did not hear anything back from anyone until about 6:30 pm that same evening, his partner called thinking we may have been in bed so he called us. He went ahead and started working on the system right away. Casey was supposed to be right behind him, but he did not show, when he called him to see where he was, he said he was not going to make it, he was at a restaurant on a date. I requested a receipt from Casey on Saturday and he said he would follow up with me on Monday. He ended up putting an invoice in my mailbox. I had already paid the other guy directly for the services he gave me that day and I paid for my Big Deal before any of this started for the diagnostic call. The other gentleman did a great job with the actual work. I just do not understand why I am being double billed."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don’t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don’t put out steady voltage. It’s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.

Insurance companies aren’t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.

Although solar panels harness the sun's power, they come at an environmental cost. The manufacturing process requires large amounts of water and involves hazardous materials like cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide. These materials don’t pose safety hazards while the panels are in use but can pose a problem when left in landfills. Over time, hazardous materials can leach into the environment. This is why recycling solar panels whenever possible is better than taking them to landfills.

The average cost to install solar panels is around $27,000, with most homeowners paying between $4,500 and $54,000. These prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can reduce costs by up to 30%. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of the system needed to offset your energy consumption, the amount of sunlight your home receives, your geographical location, the type and brand of panels, labor costs, and any add-on products like solar batteries or electric vehicle (EV) chargers. It is recommended to get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.
