"

Salesperson was pretty knowledgeable, he gave me many options to choose from and tried to direct me to the most cost effective option for my situation.  He was also very knowledgeable on Focus on Energy rebates and available federal tax credits available to me.  I also had him quote a new water heater and softener, even though I ended up not purchasing them.  I ultimately chose a very high efficiency (solar ready) air conditioner, probably more than I needed, but I am happy with my choice as I have seen a large change in my utility bills as he predicted.  The salesperson was not a big fan of solar and actively tried to talk me out of it.  The lead technician was not so negative on solar and I was satisfied working with him, but it took a little extra work on my part.

The installation had a couple of bumps.

Bump 1:  They installed the condensation drain in such a way that it immediately caused a puddle of water on my basement floor.  I called in the problem about 30 minutes after the install techs left.  They did send an expert the same day to fix the problem, and I have not had an issue since.

Bump2:  I had to leave while they were finishing up the install to pick up my son from summer camp, and they said that they would not leave until I returned.  Well, they left before I returned, and they took the previous programmable thermostat that was installed on the old furnace that I wanted to use at a different location.  I called the office, but they could not locate the thermostat, so I pressured them to give me a replacement, which they did, but it is not as nice as my old one. 

I am 1 year out from this purchase, and I can say that I am happy with the results.  My utility bills are lower and the house is more comfortable than it has been.

"I was under the impression that I should be getting 24v, which is what the thermostat needed.  The technician informed me that the voltage was correct and that the 24v that I was expecting was incorrect.  Turns out the system was working correctly but the technician was able to get the 24v to the thermostat by connecting another wire, already available, to the "common" terminal of the thermostat control panel on the furnace and then hooking it up to my thermostat and all was fixed."

"They have been very helpful. The refrigerator we had, had a control panel that they could not replace, so they gave us options and we were able to get a new refrigerator. They have saved us a lot of money over the year. They probably saved us $5000 on an AC issue. They are very prompt at responding and have been very professional."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done—including solar panel installers, plumbers, and water heater installers. A specialist will help you decide if a passive or active system is best for your local weather, home layout, roof stability, and your budget.

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.
