"Fall service on old furnace determined that a replacement was in order.  Consultant was great.
I didn't feel pressured to "overpay" gross dollars.
Did a temporary fix on the old unit until the new unit could be installed.  Gap was about 1-1/2 weeks.
Were on time, put protective mat on rug to prevent tracking mud & leaves onto carpet.
Worked non-stop, efficiently installing new furnace.
Had to fabricate new ducting for new furnace.
Left the area clean.
They were friendly and helpful in explaining the operation and features of the new unit."

"The service technician, Scott, was extremely prompt and was very professional.  He answered all of the questions we had reference the furnace.  He was very personable and didn't mind that we hung out with him while he worked.
The biggest reason this business was chosen was because they were available to do it in the near future.  Many places were booked into 2013.

"Work is basically ok but terrible communication and rather messy, including coming home to find the work crew having taken over my garage as work space without letting me know and leaving a mess for me to clean up. Owner didn’t seem to care and was not communicative of additional costs incurred. I would not recommend."

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.

While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.

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 safe ladder practices. If you’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.

Solar panels can pay for themselves in five to 15 years, depending on the cost of your system, how much energy it generates, whether you qualify for incentives or power buybacks, and the price of energy in your area. Solar panels pay for themselves over time as they lower electricity bills, so it will take time to recoup your initial investment. However, the longer you have your system, the more money you can save and earn.

In almost every case, solar panels need to be removed to replace roof shingles. In some cases, such as solar installations where the panels are on raised platforms above the roof surface, installers may be able to install new shingles without removing the solar installation. However, to get a quality roofing installation, panels need to come off. Most roofing contractors won’t remove or reinstall solar panels as part of a roofing project, so you’ll need to contact your solar provider.
