"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.
