No one ever answered phone, returned calls, or answered e-mails."

"Through the sales process they painted a beautiful picture. I dont believe the lowest price is always the best deal. I price compared two companies, Reliable was a bit more money but I liked the salesman and I believed the picture he painted. So much for "reliable", they are nothing of the sort. Horrible customer service and zero support after the sale. Run to another company as there are several others in the area to chose from."

"I hired this company to put in a generator after seeing their commercials on TV, and seeing all the high reviews online. I can say that my experience has been horrible. First off, the permitting process took months, just to get the approval to install the generator. After the install, city permitting workers came out countless times sighting issues that needed to be resolved that seemingly didn’t get resolved because they’d get flagged again for the same issues. The biggest being they installed the generator too close to the natural gas line, which caused them to move the generator over about 18 inches and needing to install a giant junction box on the outside wall of my house. Not a great look. During the install and clearing permits, it’s almost impossible to get ahold of anyone to get a status update. I’d call and leave messages, email – repeatedly – before I’d finally get someone to reply. Fast forward a year, I discovered they installed one of the junction boxes incorrectly to my pool heater, causing it to fill up with water… so another repair. Now after the first year they hit you with a $600 per year contract to continue to monitor the generator for issues. Even after I signed it, I still get an email asking me to sign up every couple of weeks.. I’ve responded a dozen times telling them I’ve signed up for the monitoring program and to stop emailing me. Now the icing on the cake. I’m paying $600 a year for them to 'monitor' for problems. Today we lost power and the generator didn’t turn on. Looked at my mobile app, and it shows the cell signal used to monitor the generator isn’t working. I open the generator and the control panel that runs the entire system is blank and not working. Obviously a major problem… and isn’t that why I’m paying $600 a year for Reliable to monitor for problems and fix them before they cause an issue? This monitoring program is a scam. If they were actually monitoring the system they would've seen that my generator didn't exercise on Monday as scheduled, and that I've been offline over a week! Calling to ask that question just got me on the line with some low level customer service person, who can’t do anything but set an appointment a week from now. If you’re going to install a generator, look elsewhere."

HVAC systems consume the largest portion of household electricity, as they operate frequently throughout the year. Water heaters represent another significant energy user in most homes, along with refrigerators that run continuously. Clothes dryers, dishwashers, and cooking appliances also contribute substantially to electricity usage. Entertainment systems, particularly those left in standby mode, can collectively add meaningful amounts to monthly bills.
Time-of-use electricity plans charge different rates depending on when you use power. Peak hours—typically weekday afternoons and evenings—come with premium rates, while overnight and weekend hours often feature discounted pricing. Households that can shift major electricity usage to off-peak hours may benefit from these plans. The effectiveness depends on your schedule flexibility and ability to run major appliances during lower-rate periods.
Solar power systems represent a significant investment, currently averaging between $18,115 and $35,165 for residential installations. The financial benefit varies based on your location's sun exposure, local electricity rates, and available incentives. Homes with consistently high electricity bills see better returns on solar investments. Many homeowners consider both immediate savings and property value enhancement when evaluating solar options. Contact solar panel installers near you to discuss the potential costs and benefits for your home.
