Nearby Solar Repair in Columbus

Icon Solar’s installation team was the picture of perfection. They were the most professional team of workmen I have ever had work on a project for me. In fact, I can’t think of anything they could have done better. They completed their work perfectly, and quickly, and were far more courteous than most. When they were done, they showed me that my meter was actually running backward. There are very few joys in life better than seeing that for the first time. The electricians actually did me a favor while they were here by drilling a hole that will make a future electrical project much easier much for me. Similarly the installers on the roof noticed a loose set of shingles that I kept meaning to fix. They never said anything to me but, much to my surprise, the shingles were repaired when they left, and the repair was far superior to the one I would have made. Their one B is for Responsiveness. The only reason they didn’t get an A there is because there was one problem related to the calculation of my ’25-year Benefit of Solar’. Since after an email discussion they made this perfectly right for me, the B is well deserved, and while it isn’t a perfect score, it is so nearly perfect that I highly recommend them, IF you follow this one piece of advice. Anyone planning to have a solar electric system installed by any company should work with the electric company first. I was shocked to learn that my electric coop did not have policies favorable to the installation of solar electric systems on residences. I understand they are working to improve that situation, but I still recommend that everyone ask for all the details from their electric company before contacting any solar electric installation company. This is doubly true if you are a member of an electrical coop. Sometimes they are legally unable to make solar installations more desirable due to agreements with their current electricity suppliershow more

Todd is one of the most professional people I have ever dealt with as it relates to home improvement or repairs. He installed a Solotube in my incredibly dark hallway. The results are simply incredible! We went from a dark cave to a bright and cheery atmosphere. If you have darkness in your home, call Todd, the job will be done right, and in time! I wish I had this done years agoshow more

Bob returned my call shortly after I contacted his office. He was able to come over later that day to see what work was required for our skylights, which were leaking. We were also interested in blinds for the skylights. He inspected the skylights and told me what appeared to be the problem and we discussed different types of blinds available for our skylights. He mailed me a written estimate within several days of the appointment and we went ahead and scheduled the serviceshow more

They did a very good job. They came when they said they would. They cleaned up after themselves. They installed it in a prompt and reliable fashion They even went above and beyond to help me with the previous Solatube that had been incorrectly installed. What more could you ask for from a service providershow more

On the date of installation installer called indicated he would be late. He arrived about 1 hr late. Installer complained that the company miscommunicated with him and also was complaining about various things. Turned out that he thought he was repairing somekind of roof leak issue instead of attic fan install. He left because he did not have the fan with him and needed to come back later. He indicated company will call back for reschedule. After 7 days when I heard nothing, i had to call the company to schedule for the install. I mentioned to them i did not want that installer again, they acknowledged the bad experience. But I was sent the same installer. The installer came late again by 1hr post the 4hr slot I was given, half a day wasted because of him. Also the install was not smooth he struggled with the instrument to cut a hole in the roof. This is my experience, hope others had better that mineshow more

We hired Bob after receiving several quotes from installers that provide Velux brand skylights. Our job included 2 skylights in our family room and one in our master bathroom. Bob was very quick to respond to my estimate request and came out to the house as scheduled. He has great knowledge about the products he installs and provided us with a literature book as reference. Our original request was to replace the exisiting models with identical replacements. Bob said he would get back to me in a day or two with the quote. After he left, I began reviewing the documents he left and became intrigued by the new Solar Powered Fresh air skylights that happen to be eligible for a Tax credit. All of our current skylights are fixed and do not open. After I got the first quote, I called Bob to get an opinion on what he thougt of this new product. He told me they were brand new as of March 2013 and from what he had read, the solar technology they incorporated was very similar to the current technology available on Velux's solar shades. He said the shades had been on the market for about 6 years and have been very reliable. He then provided a new quote for the new skylights. It was a no hassle quote, no hard sales pitch, it was very professional and he told me to think about it and let him know what we liked. Our family room skylights are enclosed in Oak and the window well is quiet weathered from all of the years of sunlight. I called Bob back to discuss what he thought about the area and he told me he could order a stain grade skylight, put up scaffolding in our family room and match and recondition the area around the skylight to match He said he would do that as part of the original quote. I was sold. He really went the extra distance on this to make sure that I would be happy with the finished look. It took about 2 months to get the skylights ordered (new product at velux, demand had exceeded supply) and Bob kept us in the loop as we awaited the product. He came out with the prestained windows and installed them in one day. He came back a few days later with a helper and finished off the inside window wells and we couldn't be happier with the results. He did a fantastic job. He trained us on the remote feature and answered all of our questions. That night, we went to close the skylights and found an issue with one of them. It was throwing an error stating it was blocked. I left Bob a message and he came out the very next day which happened to be a Saturday. He took a look and confirmed their appeared to be a calibration issue but Velux support wasn't open on the weekends. He was honest, apologetic and very accountable in explaining to us that with it being a new product, he hadn't learned all of the tricks yet. Monday morning, he was on the phone first thing with technical support and had the window operating normally that afternoon. Bob is a true professional. He is honest, accountable, reliable and proud of his products and his business. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family. His price was excellent and we truly feel Bob went above and beyond in helping stain match our situation, something that some of the other installers said we would have to sub contract out. A+ for Bob, he's great to work with. Thanks for the great job!!show more
