"After 20 Years of having 4 Seasons install our entire system (AC,Furnace,Hot water heater) and 20 Years of twice a year maintenance at $89.95 per visit, this last AC tune up yesterday was a scam! I always defended 4 Seasons to all my neighbors and clients/friends when they would say how terrible 4 seasons was at telling them they needed unwarranted repairs or replacement. I never felt that 4 seasons was scamming me until yesterday. The tech told me that I needed 2 parts that were failing, but when I asked him to show me, he couldn't tell me why the parts were failing. He didn't know that I know my stuff and knew that the parts in question were just replaced and were just fine. So when I called the tech on it, he said that 4 seasons is asking their techs to find stuff wrong with their units to cover their as**es for the "No Breakdown Guarantee" that they offer customer for 1 year. So if something was wrong with their system, 4 seasons would not be liable since they "supposedly" found something wrong with the unit. They quote outrageous prices for the repairs to make you actually buy a new unit. This is not the ethical treatment I was used to for 20 Years. Very disappointed and now considering switching my loyalty to another company. Might consider staying with them if they extend my warranty as discussed privately."

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.
