"

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

Professionals use the same methods to install solar shingles that they do for asphalt shingles, so you’ll often see a similar installation timeline of one to two days. The amount of time required will depend on the size and slope of your roof and the number of shingles installed. Weather conditions can delay installation, as working on a roof is unsafe during high winds or heavy rain.

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.

Yes, installing solar panels or a solar roof can increase your home's value by approximately 4% to 6%. For a home with a median value of $429,000, this could translate to an increase of around $17,000. A well-maintained solar installation appeals to environmentally-conscious buyers and those looking to lower their utility bills, often helping homes sell faster and at a premium in areas with high electricity rates. However, the exact increase in value depends on factors like the local real estate market, energy costs, and available solar incentives. It's also important that the system is correctly installed and maintained; an older or poorly maintained system may not add significant value, particularly if it's near the end of its lifespan. Other solar features, like panels on a shed, can also boost your home's value.

Solar shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years, a lifespan comparable to that of traditional solar panels and standard asphalt shingles. The exact duration depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the installation. Because solar shingles are a newer technology, there is limited data on their actual long-term performance. Factors that can impact their durability and longevity include weather conditions, roof ventilation, and regular maintenance. To extend the life of your solar shingles, you should conduct regular inspections and cleaning, and make any necessary repairs as quickly as possible.

On average, a typical fridge uses 115 kWh per month. With eight hours of sunlight per day, a 100-watt solar panel can produce 30 kWh per month. This means you’ll need at least four dedicated panels to power the refrigerator with solar energy. Consult with a solar power specialist to get a more accurate estimate.
