We requested proposals from four companies that had provided solar systems in our area. We received three very comprehensive proposals. Prices were very competitive. We selected Fire Mountain based on their technical proposal and price, although were not the low bidder. What impressed us most were the friendly Fire Mountain employees and owners. They are all friendly, service oriented, and knowledgeable folks who made us feel like we were their most important customers. They installed our system when they committed to in the most workmanlike manner. We cannot thank them enough. They feel like our friends.... read more
I received great service from Fire Mountain Solar. I have recommended them to my neighbors and several are now using their services. The system performs flawlessly and includes a 7.2kW array (2 poles with 12 panels each) and 2,200 pounds of batteries. Arrays are 620 feet from the home. I am able to operate my 5 bedroom log home without using my propane generator between mid February and late October. Yearly propane consumption decreased more than 50%.... read more
Latest Fire Mountain Solar LLC Solar complaints
I hired FMS 8 years ago to install a hybrid solar/ wind system and Tim did nothing right in the installation. He told me the wrong wire size to bury for the wind turbine ($1,500), wrong size pipe for the solar rack ($400), and the wiring is a mess. right now I am working with an electrician to get it all cleaned up and I'm looking at another $5,000 to get that done.
Before you hire FMS, do some research and find a quality installer.... read more
Fire Mountain Solar (five stars)
was a nice clean installation. The same could not be said for the electrical contractor they used. (one star)
I am planning the installation of another inverter at a later time. I discussed my future plans with the contractor and we came to a solution which would create a minimum of modification of the installed system.
But instead of keeping the new inverter as close to the existing sub-panel, he did not mount it using the minimal distance (1" suggested by manufacturer), used existing conduit which I told them I had installed for a specific separate purpose, ran wires through the sub-panel which makes the wiring of the sub-panel much more difficult, and placed a large conduit on the surface of the wall instead of under the surface as I had requested.
As a result, when I add more equipment, I will have to totally move and rewire the equipment they installed.... read more

It was a pleasure to work with Fire Mountain Solar - they are extremely professional and did the work on schedule. They provided the most competitive pricing among four different bids we received, and I think their installation configuration was among the better configurations for our needs. There was a large range in quotes we received despite little variation in equipment, so it is essential to get multiple quotes if cost is important.... read more

Fire Mountain Solar mad for a good overall install experience. I delayed this review waiting to see what service was like after the dust settled and the install was complete. The office from the owners to the tech professionals have been super helpful navigating government/utility bureaucracy and answering my questions. As with any big install there are hiccups and Alana and Tim helped manage the only hiccup we had. So glad I picked this local company.... read more

From the start working with Joan (sales) and her answering my questions, to working with Tim Nelson regarding the install, these guys proved to be pros! No high pressure - only factual information in a timely manner. I have recommended them multiple times since my install. Even needed political followup info was provided, keeping me in the loop as far as new legislation. System looks great & works great.

We were very pleased with our experience with Fire Mountain Solar (FMS). From the initial contact with their office, I felt that we would have an excellent experience. A solar technician from their office responded quickly to our inquiry about a solar system, visited our site, and gave us excellent advice about our options for equipment and location. Joan at their office worked with us over an extended period of time evaluating options and pricing as well as assisting us with rebate and funding options.
Once the papers were signed, the project proceeded quickly and smoothly. Tim, the owner, was onsite managing the work. His crew was extremely courteous, highly professional, and considerate of our wishes on "small" decisions. Similarly Brad the master electrician went out of his way to accommodate us on his (rather complicated) part of the project. The project was completed within the proposal bid amount.
If you are considering solar, I would strongly recommend that you consider FMS as one of your contacts. They are very competitive in their pricing and will treat your project with the same care as if it were being done at their very own house-that's how they do business. Choosing FMS was a great decision for us. Highly recommended... read more

I attended a local work shop put on by Fire Mountain and was so impressed with the presentation that I decided to put solar on the new house I was building. Fire Mountain was excellent at all aspects of the process. The installation was quick and easy. Their electrician Brad was very helpful and informative, making sure I understood all the connections and how to disable/enable the system. They also have been great at following up and making sure all my questions are answered and that I understand all the incentives and how to monitor the performance of my system. On top of that the power output of my system has so far surpassed my expectations. It's great not having an electric bill.... read more

Solar set up with Fire Mountain
Type: Residential Electric
Reviewed: 12/28/2015
After thinking about adding solar for years, we finally decided this year to have an evaluation as find out what it would entail and what results to expect. Our son had just had his panels installed by Fire Mountain and was very happy with the process.
From the first phone call to final hook up we were happy with Fire Mountain.
It was more like dealing with friends than with a business.
Every concern and question was answered and the incentives explained clearly. The readings are easy to understand and we follow our production daily. We have seen our electric bill drop by more than half and find that our production is even more than predicted. We recommend Fire Mountain to friends and encourage them with our satisfaction.
Thank you to Fire Mountain and all of the friendly and helpful staff... read more
