How to Select an Installer

When Selecting an Installer

Focus on Energy recommends that you solicit bids and interview at least three potential contractors. Questions that you may ask include:

Can you provide references from previous customers with similar systems?
When would you be able to perform the work?
How long will the project take?
Do you provide a performance guarantee and/or warranty, and if so, what are the details?
How many similar systems have you installed?
Have you worked with local building officials and utility representatives when installing similar systems in the past?
Do you have a master electrician (or professional electrical engineer) as part of the project team?
Will you hire subcontractors to complete portions of the project? What firms will you hire and what will they do?
Do you repair systems that you installed, and if so, what are your rates?
What kind of training will you provide me with so that I can better operate and maintain my system?
