Solar is a great option in places where there are a lot of sunny days. Phoenix is a city in the southwest where there is frequently a lot of sun. During the winter days, the sun regularly shines for eight or nine hours every day. Phoenix is a great place for snowbirds to spend the winter. During the summer months, temperatures in Phoenix can reach more than 100° nearly every single day. My wife and I knew that we needed to use the sun to our advantage. When we thought about our options for heating and cooling the house, I thought it was important to consult with a contractor and solar company. My wife and I met with a couple of different people and we found out that we could use the solar panels to help with heating and cooling. We used a contractor from the city to complete all of the work. It took an entire day to install all of the solar panels on top of the roof and then it took another day to install all of the equipment inside of our home. The system is very advanced and difficult for a layman to understand. Whenever we have problems with the solar panels or the heating and cooling system, we reach out to the Phoenix contractor that installed our system. We got a 5-year warranty on the solar panels and a 3-year warranty on all of the equipment inside of the house. If we have any problems at all, we can call and a service technician will come to our home at no charge.
