Review for Energy Concepts

I recently purchased a solar hot water system from Energy Concepts and could not be more pleased. <br /><br />Energy Concepts is the rare combination of passion and technical expertise and the final product I purchased from them demonstrates their genuine concern for the environment and their commitment to world-class design and installation. Adding a solar system that runs from the roof to the basement of a 3 story, 40-year-old house is no small feat. I was prepared to make some compromises in ascetics. Thanks to Energy Concepts, no compromises were necessary. They treated my house as if it were a brand new million-dollar mansion and took no short cuts. The final product is impressive, effective and, unless one looks for it, almost invisible. <br /><br />The system is well engineered, high-tech and yet elegant in its simplicity. It's also designed and installed for years of carefree service. I love that the transfer fluid lines have no seams, no seals and no o-rings to fail. One solid, stainless steel line from top to bottom. A generation from now, whoever lives here will still be savoring the knowledge that they are doing their part in using renewable energy. Since our system went in, I now feel a sense of participation and pride when I see the sun hitting the attractive collectors on our roof. Seeing this simply sight gives me a new found sense of connection to our world that I've captured a small sliver of the solar energy opportunity falling on my house and stored it in the form of not water in my basement. Last evening I had 80 gallons of 170-degree water in our storage tank. When my teenage daughters take their long, hot showers they now know exactly where the energy came from for that privilege. This system not only keeps them happy, it teaches them that it's not enough to worry about the worlds energy and environmental issues, we all have to do our part.<br /><br />I can't recommend Energy Concepts highly enough. Their engineering, design, customer service and installation expertise is matched only by their passion for helping consumers produce their own power. They delivered far beyond my expectations and were well versed in current state and federal incentives. Whoever lives in my house 40 years from now will be as grateful to Energy Concepts as I am right now on this beautiful, sunny spring day.<br />
