Shade and Shutter expo provides design, measuring and installation for blinds, shades, plantation shutters and bahama shutters, awnings ,hurricane protection and solar /porch shades. Additional email - julie@shadeandshutterexpo.com. Additional contact name - Julie Fergus.
"I strongly recommend you look for your shades or blinds elsewhere. Shade and Shutter Expo does not honor their guarantee or stand behind their product or workmanship. We were looking for room-darkening remote shades for our house, beginning with the MBRM windows. We priced a couple of other places and decided to go with them even though they were a little more expensive than our other quotes. We chose this because of the guarantee they offered during the sales pitch which I felt put them a little above the rest. We were just a little underwhelmed by the quality of the shades for the high price we paid for them. I was expecting more of a textured finish. But that aside, our real problem came after installation. To make a long story short, they measured/cut the shades too narrow. I complained several times over the next 6 months, starting on the very day they were installed. Way too much light was coming in on the sides (especially when you consider how much extra we paid for room-darkening). They said it’s because they had to cut them short because of a door handle on 1 of the 5 windows. First of all, there was still room to have allowed more fabric on that window…..and the other 4 windows had NO handle to work around, so that excuse fell short. I tried to get use to them. I called back a few months later in tears of frustration that my sleep was being interrupted at daybreak every single day. They came out and looked, then said they’d go back and talk to the boss and get back to me. I never heard from them again. So for TWO YEARS NOW, I lie there’d every morning in frustration as the sun comes through and wakes me up. I have to pull the covers up over my head, which usually makes me feel like I’m suffocating. So then I try building a “wall” of pillows on either side of my head to block the light and try to get back to sleep. I can’t begin to imagine how many hours of sleep I have lost over the past two years. I curse their name every morning of my life as I fight this battle, as well as every time I see their commercial or drive by their store. So DO NOT believe the promises during their sales pitch, or count on service-after-the-sale. We planned to have all the windows on the back side of our house done…..but I assure you it will be by someone other than them."

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.
