Cottrell & Co., Inc. Plumbing, Heating and Air is a full service residential and commercial plumbing, heating and air company that has proudly served the Columbia and Lexington areas since 1995. We have enjoyed building a reputation of excellence through quality parts, expert employees and maintaining high standards of workmanship. We pride ourselves in communication with our customers by listening, offering multiple solutions and always giving the price upfront. We also offer 24-hour emergency services.

"Do not use this company for backflow tests! I called Cottrell for a simple backflow device test. I was charged $213 for a backflow test which was over twice the amount I was told to expect by friends and family who had the same test done by other plumbers (one even showed me his invoice for $35.00). It is an absurd price for a very simple test and far overpriced compared to other plumbers in the area."

"they installed all new h/vac system, new ductwork, new zoning system. None of it worked properly from the beginning. It's only 2 1/2 years old and we've been without AC 4 different times. Not what you expect when you pay $5,000-$6,000 for new system."

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Columbia, SC

Annual inspections are recommended for residential solar systems, though specific needs vary based on several factors. Newer installations in moderate climates require less frequent professional evaluation, while systems over a decade old or those in harsh environments benefit from more regular attention. Always arrange an inspection following severe weather events that might have damaged components or affected system performance.

Pre-inspection cleaning isn't necessary, as evaluating the current condition of your panels is part of the assessment process. Professional inspectors can effectively examine systems regardless of cleanliness level, as accumulation patterns often provide valuable diagnostic information. However, if panels are completely obscured by heavy debris, bird droppings, or other materials that prevent visual examination of the surface, a basic rinse might be helpful before the scheduled inspection.

A comprehensive solar inspection examines all system components, including panels, wiring, mounting hardware, and inverters. Technicians check for physical damage like cracks or delamination, evaluate electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and assess overall system performance against expected output levels. The inspection may also verify that safety systems are functioning correctly and that the installation complies with applicable codes and standards.

While traditional manual inspections are effective for most residential systems, specialized inspection methods may provide advantages for certain installations. Factors to consider include system size, roof complexity, accessibility challenges, and safety considerations. For multi-story homes or commercial installations where roof access is difficult or potentially hazardous, alternative inspection approaches offer improved documentation and reduced risk, though potentially at a higher cost.
