"Total Ripoff! My boiler stopped working the other day and my usual company was unable to come out due to being short-staffed that day. I resorted to google and unfortunately came across Aire Serv. Their technician (who was very nice) came out to assess the situation and determined it was caused by a damaged pilot assembly. After calling around for replacement parts, I was told that the parts were out of stock until later in the week. Despite this, I was still charged $234 for the trip fee and diagnostic fee. I was then quoted $1112 for the repairs to be done once the parts were in. I shared this quote with my normal company and they were appalled! Thankfully they fixed the issue for less than half the price Aire Serv was going to charge me! PLEASE do not use this money-grubbing company, and instead use a local independent company if you need heating work done!"

"If you are considering changing your fuel supplier to Pitstop Fuels - DON'T DO IT. Just when you thought customer service in this country couldn't reach higher lows Pitstop is proof it could. I don't know what has happened to this country when company's that you have done business with and spend thousands with annually, have no qualms about leaving a human being in Maine without heat until January. Well, actually I do know what has happened to this country but that's a subject for another day. Yes, that is right, it is now mid-December and they were completely unwilling to answer and emergency service call for no heat until January. I have been a customer of Pitstop for at least 10-12 years maybe more. They supply LP and #oil for my own house and other rental properties I own. I called on 12/13/2021 with a NO HEAT issue for one of my rental properties and even spoke to the manager Dennis, who reiterated they were prepared to leave my tenant without heat until Janaury. This is a far cry from the service one used to receive from Melanie who used to manage the propane department deliveries and service. Not only is it morally wrong to leave a tenant without heat in the winter - it is illegal but Pitstop didn't give a rat's behind. Having owned properties for many years and having to deal with repairs from time to time, it was always understood that heating companies always provided EMERGENCY SERVICE within 24 hours for NO HEAT situations. Well that is exactly what would have happened if I used another supplier. I contacted them all and companies such as Downeast would have provided that emergency repair service if I was a customer of theirs. That is exactly what my mistake was as less than a month ago I was prepared to leave Pitstop after repeatedly being given incorrect pricing on LP when they said they would match the price Downeast was offering me. I should have just told them to go pound sand then but I gave them a second chance, which was a huge mistake. MY BEST ADVICE IS TO AVOID PITSTOP AT ALL COSTS because when an EMERGENCY NO HEAT situation arises they really don't care. Once this winter passes and I no longer have a resident in this unit I WILL BE SWITCHING SUPPLIERS. Fortunately for me I can do so immediately for 2 of my properties, one where I use #2 oil and another where I wisely purchased my own tank allowing me to go anywhere with my business. In other words I can vote with my $$$. As a business owner I understand how important the bottom line is but the safety and comfort of human beings trumps that in all cases. PITSTOP IS ON MY "GO POUND SAND" list and I will be getting rid of their leased tanks come spring and no longer order any type fo fuel from them EVER AGAIN. WHO NEEDS A COMPANY LIKE THIS THAT WOULD LEAVE SOMEONE WITHOUT HEAT TILL JANUARY 2022."

Solar panel installations FAQs

A single Tesla Powerwall provides backup power for essential home circuits for approximately one day during an outage. This duration varies significantly based on which appliances and systems you're powering. Critical loads like refrigeration, limited lighting, internet equipment, and a few outlets might draw two to five kWh daily. With 13.5 kWh of usable capacity, careful energy management is necessary for extended outages unless you have solar panels to recharge during daylight hours.

A Tesla Powerwall can power most residential air conditioners, as its 5.8 kW continuous output handles the three to four kW requirement of standard AC units. However, running air conditioning substantially increases energy consumption, potentially depleting a single Powerwall within several hours. For meaningful climate control during extended outages, multiple Powerwall units are recommended. Solar panel integration helps replenish the batteries during daylight hours, extending your cooling capabilities.

Tesla Powerwalls qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers a 30% tax credit through 2032, followed by 26% in 2033 and 23% in 2034. This represents a tax credit (direct reduction of tax liability) rather than a deduction. To qualify, the system must be charged primarily from renewable energy sources. Additionally, many states and utilities offer supplemental incentives that further reduce effective costs. Consult with a tax professional regarding your specific eligibility and filing requirements.

Unlike conventional generators that require fuel, maintenance, and produce noise and emissions, Tesla Powerwalls operate silently and automatically without ongoing fuel costs. While generators can run indefinitely with refueling, Powerwalls have capacity limitations unless paired with solar recharging. Traditional generators cost less initially but require regular maintenance, testing, and fuel storage. Powerwalls offer additional daily benefits through energy bill management and smart home integration features that generators cannot provide, making them multifunctional investments beyond emergency backup.

Tesla Powerwall systems require minimal ongoing maintenance compared to other backup power solutions. Unlike generators with moving components requiring regular servicing, Powerwalls function virtually without mechanical intervention. The manufacturer recommends keeping the unit's surroundings clean and ensuring proper ventilation. For systems paired with solar panels, periodic panel cleaning (costing between $295 and $625) helps maintain optimal charging efficiency. The system conducts automatic self-diagnostics and receives software updates remotely, with most potential issues identified and addressed through Tesla's monitoring capabilities.
