The silver lining in solar energy

Rhone Resch of the Solar Energy Industries Association noted last week that this was the year that solar energy would go big. In the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, many of begin to understand the importance of green energy like solar power, just as Resch noted. While the environmental and sustainable energy advantages may be quite obvious to many, there is a huge additional bonus to solar energy in Phoenix: saving money, creating local green jobs, and keeping money in the Arizona economy.

To put a finer point on it, Arizona is a lucky state. We have the ability to harness the sun and make ourselves incredibly sustainable because of that. In addition to being a more conscious consumer, those who opt in to solar panel installations in Phoenix and the surrounding area make it possible for solar energy to continue being offered — when you support jobs in the “green sector” you help to literally sustain sustainability.

When we hear of gas prices rising, utilities costs out of control, and job loss in the United States, turning to renewable energy just makes plain everyday common sense. We keep Japan in our thoughts, but beyond that, we are proud that their solar energy industry and its tenacity will renew itself and continue to make Japan a more energy efficient place to be. From here to there, one thing is certain: the sun always rises!

The sun shines in Phoenix more than 325 days a year. The sun can be a source of tremendous heat and tough summers for millions of Arizonans. So, the way we see it at Adair Solar Company in Mesa is, we may as well see the bright side of things (pardon the play on words!)

In other words, use the sun for your advantage. Yes, the heat during a Phoenix summer can be overwhelming and difficult, but it can also provide a huge source of energy with which you can power your home. Solar panels in Mesa and throughout the rest of the Phoenix metro area is just good common sense. If you lived in Seattle and could power your home with rain, wouldn’t you do it? Of course you would! Using solar panels in Mesa and throughout Phoenix is absolutely no different.

A solar panel installation in Phoenix done by Adair Solar staff is done quickly, efficiently, and without having to give up the aesthetics of your home. In addition, there are many solar tax rebates and solar tax credits available to you. These credits and rebates greatly lessen the expense of solar panels in Mesa or anywhere else in Phoenix. In deed it is fair to say that the solar panels you get from Adair Solar Company in Mesa will pay for themselves in no time flat.

When you’re ready to see the light (again, sorry for the play on words!) call Adair Solar Company in Mesa. We’ll help you start making the most of the sun no matter where you are in the Phoenix metro area. Call us at (480) 827-1162 and follow us on Twitter for more deals and updates @AdairSolar

Say No to Cotton Candy!

Well, it may seem obvious to longtime Arizonans that a good, long-lasting radiant barrier insulation in Phoenix is one heck of a good idea. BUT (and that’s a big but!) many, many Phoenix area homes are not outfitted with radiant barrier insulation. In fact, most homes in Arizona older than fifteen years are still equipped with the same insulation they were built with, and in most cases, this means good old fashioned cotton candy insulation, which unfortunately is not very effective.

So when should you get radiant barrier insulation in Phoenix? NOW! Before it gets too hot! The last thing you want to do is realize you should have gotten radiant barrier insulation when it’s already 110 degrees outside.

If you’re unsure whether or not you have cotton candy type insulation or a radiant barrier type insulation, you can call Adair Solar Company in Phoenix and we’ll come out for a FREE in-home consultation — this is also a good time to ask the Adair Solar Company in Arizona representative about solar panels and solar water heaters in Phoenix, both of which will help you save even more money.

Radiant barrier insulation is installed quickly and easily by our professional installer, and the price is more than affordable. When you sign on for solar panels and/or a solar water heater installation in Phoenix, you’ll also be elligible for credits and/or rebates from the government.

When most people think of an Arizona summer coming on, they tend to crank up the air conditioner and hide under ONE sheet

But Adair Solar thinks it’s time for Phoenix homeowners to have a different outlook on summer energy use — and what we pay for it as Arizonans.

The first step is one that’s obvious for Adair Solar Company in Phoenix. We obviously want you to invest in solar panels and/or a solar water heater. We know from years of experience in the Valley that there’s no better way to conserve energy than through harnessing the sun when you can.

But then there’s the question: How do you use the energy from the sun without letting in all the solar heat that drives up the cost of other utilities? Well, that’s when you begin to understand the value of a good radiant barrier insulation in Phoenix. Adair Solar installs radiant barriers in Phoenix, and we HIGHLY recommend that you have it installed before those triple-digit days hit.

Now, even though you’re saving a great deal with solar panels, a solar water heater, and radiant barrier insulation in Phoenix, there’s still plenty of money to be saved, believe it or not!

Of course we’re talking now about making sure your Phoenix air conditioner is up to par, and that will require preventative air conditioner maintenance in Phoenix. Really, an a/c unit should be looked at twice a year, preferably as the seasons turn from hottest to coldest and visa versa. Adair Solar is here for your preventative air conditioner maintenance in Phoenix too!

Call for a free consultation on any or all of the above mentioned services and products. Simply dial (480) 827-1162 or contact us by clicking here.

So you bellied up to the bar for the cost of a quality, efficient air conditioner, and you’re thinking about or have already purchased a solar water heater in Phoenix. But… to make your home TRULY efficient, you have to have a quality insulation installed in your home, most specifically, in your attic.

If you have all the newest and greatest in efficiency gizmos and appliances, it follows that you’d want to additionally lower your monthly utility costs in Arizona by using a radiant barrier type insulation. BUT… you probably don’t know they exist or that this type of insulation can dramatically reduce your cost of living!

The difference is not hard to understand–the better the insulation, the more energy you’re using stays where you intended it to–inside your home! So, it stands to reason that if you’re using an air conditioner in Phoenix during the summer months, you’re not likely trying to cool your backyard, or the desert! Keep the cool where you pay for it to be with a radiant barrier insulation in Phoenix.

Adair Solar Company in Mesa services the entire Phoenix metro area. We’re glad to provide you with a free in-home consultation for radiant barrier insulation, preventative air conditioning maintenance, and of course, as always, solar panels in Phoenix, and solar hot water heaters in Mesa or anywhere else in the Phoenix vicinity. Call us for your free consultation at (480) 827-1162.

What you probably already know about Adair Solar Company in Mesa, AZ is that we offer solar panels and solar panel installations to homeowners all across the valley. But what you may not know is that Adair Solar now also offers air conditioning preventative maintenance in Mesa, and throughout the Phoenix metro area.

So which is more important? Saving money on your air conditioning bill by having a healthy air conditioning unit, or saving money on your electricity bill by having solar panels? BOTH!

A healthy, happy air conditioning will not overuse expensive freon, or continuously blow hot air through your house for the same cost of blowing cooled air through. At the same time, having solar panels installed on your Arizona home will lower the cost of the energy that you do use because as a renewable resource, the sun costs nothing! After receiving the credits and rebates available to you from the government and utilities companies, the cost of a solar installation in Arizona is sure to pay itself back very quickly.

So what’s your best bet when it comes to lowering the cost of utilities during those super hot summer months in Phoenix? Remember the formula: a well-tuned air conditioning unit and a solar panel installation! And don’t forget, Adair Solar now offers you both! Call (480) 827-1162 for a free in-home consultation today.

When it comes to air conditioning, there’s no option here in the Arizona desert. In some other parts of the country, people may be able to opt out, or hold out longer, but in Arizona, a/c is a part of life that’s “baked in” living here.

So, the time to start wondering if the old air conditioning unit is up to snuff is not when you’re just about to crank it up. The time is now, before you end up having to check into a hotel while your unit is being repaired!

That’s why Adair Solar Company in Phoenix has begun to offer preventative air conditioning maintenance as part of our overall service package — it’s just too important to leave out in the Valley of the Sun!

Not only will maintenance ensure that your a/c unit is actually running at all, it will also SAVE YOU $$$ — one of the biggest uneccesary utility expenses in Arizona is overpaying to cool a home because a/c units are below par, and wasting energy because of even the smallest component needing to be replaced, or because the unit is running full bore but needs freon… badly!

Let Adair Solar check in on your Arizona a/c unit and prevent you from wasting precious money and resources. And beyond that, trying to stick it out in an Arizona home with insufficient cooling is not only uncomfortable, it can also be quite dangerous, especially for the elderly and small children. Give us a call today at (480) 827-1162.

See the difference?

After reading the title of this post you probably asked yourself, “What is a Radiant Barrier?” Good question, especially for us desert dwellers trying to save money on our utilities bills and help lessen our carbon footprint.

A Radiant Barrier is a type of foil insulation made of a reflective foil material. This material is generally installed in the attic area of a home, and Adair Solar Company in Phoenix is offering it now as a part of our growing list of products and services.

So what’s the difference between Radiant Barrier and other forms of attic insulation? HUGE savings in energy, that’s what. Because it isn’t your typical “cotton candy” insulation, Radiant Barrier allows for heat to be deflected from the home itself. In addition, it has the ability to stave off the heat coming from the sun –radiant heat — when it comes through the building materials above the insulations, including any type of roof, the wood, stucco, and tiles that are part of the top of a house above the attic itself. By not allowing this heat in by means of “sending it back,” Radiant Barrier insulation is far more effective than other forms of insulation.

Radiant Barrier in Phoenix is a specialty of Adair Solar power company in Mesa. We have professionals installing, and we’re always happy to work with you on bundles that include solar panels in Mesa, AZ and beyond.
