    I have rooftop solar heating mats,for the pool. When the system is working well, I rarely turn on the heater mid June thru August. I do find I must use the heater to heat my 40' x 15' pool,in the late spring, to raise the temperature to a usable temp. Otherwise the solar mats would take a long time to reach those levels. However, my system once or twice a year needs some level of repair. The time off the system does require me to use the heater, and pay for the repair.. I find I =have to check it twice a summer. Perhaps I have an older system of mats;a neighbor received a better quality mat th

    Mr. Falbel installed our solar pool heater about 4 years ago. It works well and has kept our pool around 80 degrees through most of the summer, though cool nights and rainy days can lead to colder temps for a while. We have certainly used much less propane since he installed this system, and by now it has likely paid for itself and then some. We have had some trouble with the solar panel sliding down the roof, due to a batch of defective glue that was used the first year, and difficulty getting it to stick well subsequently. Mr. Falbel performed a permanent correction early this summer, and th

    I have a Solar Hot Water system in my home. it was installed by Gerald easily and economically. It has saved us a lot of money over the years. We do not purchase oil for our home from April through to October. It has had no issues since we had it and I would highly recommend getting this for any home and using Optical Energy. He also installed one in my brother in laws home and they are as equally satisfied!

    I had Gerry and his crew install a solar hot water system at my home in Northport, NY in December of 2011. The system stores heated water in an 80-gallon tank that they installed next to my oil-fired hydronic boiler. When a hot water faucet calls for water, the system feeds solar-heated water into the coil of the boiler which then goes to the faucet. In most hot-water systems, water comes into the boiler at about 50 degrees (that's the ground temperature year round at 4' below grade), so the boiler has to heat that water up to whatever the aquastat calls for - 120 to 130 degrees or so is typic

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Stamford is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
