Services
Solar Thermal Water Heating
Solar thermal systems use solar collectors to heat water for residential and commercial properties. Fluid circulates through collectors to absorb sunlight, transferring heat to a storage tank. This reduces reliance on gas or electric heaters by 60-90%, saving $700-$900 annually. Systems last 40-50 years with minimal maintenance and qualify for federal tax credits.
Solar Pool Heating
Solar pool heating extends swimming seasons by using solar panels to warm pool water. Systems operate without additional energy costs after installation, paying for themselves in 3-5 years through savings. They require no maintenance, automatically drain when unused, and qualify for federal incentives to reduce upfront costs.
Solar Attic Fans
Solar attic fans reduce heat buildup in attics using solar-powered ventilation. This lowers cooling costs and prevents heat damage to roofing materials. Units include lifetime warranties, qualify for 30% federal tax credits, and typically recoup costs within three years through energy savings.
Water Softening Systems
Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium minerals from hard water, preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances. Benefits include softer skin, spot-free dishes, and 30% energy savings on water heating. Systems reduce soap usage by 50% and extend the lifespan of plumbing fixtures.
Solar Panel Maintenance
We provide inspections, repairs, and tune-ups for existing solar thermal and photovoltaic systems. Services include leak detection, component replacement, and reinstallation after roof repairs. Our technicians service all brands and models, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of solar investments.
