"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.

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.

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.

The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you’ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.

A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home’s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.
