Redbird Plumbing offers all types of plumbing & service at reasonable rates. Locally owned and operated for over ten years, Redbird Plumbing has a reputation of doing quality work. We offer both residential and commercial plumbing. Award winning.

"Redbird Plumbing installed the wrong type of battery on my sump pump back-up system. The alarm continued to sound every 24 hours. After multiple visits, Chris could not diagnose the problem. I had to call another plumbing company who diagnosed the problem and installed the correct battery for my system, hence silencing the alarm. Chris refuses to provide a refund and has refused multiple requests for a refund, including one sent by certified mail. I reported him to the Town of Normal, and when they investigated, he told them he had tried to "settle up" with me which is a lie (see above). I filed a complaint with both the Better Business Bureau and the Illinois Attorney General, and he refuses to admit responsibility for his error."

"I ordered a part from this company for my dryer. They claim: 2 Day Quick Delivery! 365 Day Return Policy! Free Tech Support! I returned the unused part in their own packaging and they refused to provide a refund! Apparently, there's some hidden small print in their return policy that if you open the box and touch the product, that item is no longer eligible for a refund. They claim that the part showed signs of installation such as scuff marks. I asked for the part to be sent back to me for inspection by other professionals, but they refused because they disposed of the part. I've never encountered with such a scam company as this one and advise all to stay away from their misleadings! Good luck trying to get a refund from them, you're not getting one."

Solar panel installations FAQs

Spring and fall offer the optimal time for scheduling an installation. Cooler weather means crews can work more efficiently without the summer heat slowing them down, and contractors often have increased availability between peak seasons. You’ll also avoid winter storms that can delay roof work. If you’re targeting a tax credit for the current year, aim to have the system running by December 31 so the credit can be applied.

Most systems recoup their post-tax-credit cost in six to 10 years. Your exact payback window depends on local utility rates, the amount of sunlight your roof receives, and the amount of energy you use. The higher your electric bill, the faster those panels work off their price tag. Add in the 30% federal tax credit and any state incentives, and you’ll start seeing true savings even sooner.

You can count on most panels to produce power for 25 to 30 years, and many monocrystalline models keep going for closer to 40. Thin-film options sit on the shorter end at 20 years. Staying on top of annual cleanings and quick repairs helps every panel reach the high end of its lifespan and protects your investment along the way.

Yes—if your system is properly sized, you can power an entire home with solar energy. A solar power designer will look at your yearly kilowatt-hour use, roof space, local sun hours, and whether you’re adding battery storage. When those pieces line up, the panels can cover all of your day-to-day needs and bank extra energy for nighttime or cloudy days.
