Complete Auto, Light & Medium Truck and Motorhome repair. In business for 34 years in Carson City, Nevada Specializes in Motorhome Rpairs and Service. Large 14,000 sq ft facility on 2 acres. Open Monday - Friday 8:00am to 5:00 pm

"So, a time ago I ran a business in the Los Angeles, Orange County area and had a competitor named Riddle’s Appliance. Their business philosophy was quite simple, there is enough people in the world that you can screw everyone onetime, made an incredibly good living and stay in business for a long time. This business philosophy works mainly because at that time there was no social media. Getting information out to people on business ethics is a strong advantage to social media. Nothing that Carson Truck & Auto Repair disclosed to me on their estimate was not clear, the only person that made mistake was me for not reading the estimate before signing it. I was in a hurry and there were other issues with the repair of the truck, so I did not take the time to read the estimate that was for an oil change for $700.00. I will never be using them again, and I would suggest that if you choose them make sure that you understand all their outrageous charges. Marty's Appliance"

Universal Windows Direct is one of the fastest growing home improvement companies in all of America. This unprecedented growth is a result of our unique ability to supply the homeowner with the highest quality American made products at or below market prices. Due to our buying power, we are able to get the lowest possible price for the consumer without the additional cost associated with a "normal" home improvement / investment company. At Universal Windows Direct we have a window or door that can fit into any budget, we allow the homeowner to customize the exact style and options that would fit best in their home. We understand that today's consumer is ever changing and what fits for one homeowner may not fit another. Our trained representatives will guide you during your decision making process to find the perfect 2016 energy star window or door for your home .

"The sales call was late October, 2022. Problem #1 was the "take it now or lose the price" sales pitch. I should have walked him to the door. Two weeks later I was told 2 windows were "not possible" to make as promised. A change order was done with a more invasive installation. The 8-12 week delivery promise meant new windows by mid-February. I heard nothing from their office for months. 12 weeks became 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and NO windows, no communication. My sales rep turned this over to a service rep and didn't tell me. Calls and emails went unanswered for days and weeks. In April, I posted on their facebook page, receiving a response installation had been scheduled, even tho I had not been called! Early May 2023: Installation day comes and 4 of the first 6 windows off the trailer were made wrong. It includes one of the 'not possible" windows built as originally promised. There were 10 days of unpleasant phone calls to hash this out, with a reminder that I had signed a contract and owed them payment. They also signed a contract and didn't deliver as promised. Late May 2023: After a discount offer, I allow them to install what they have and reorder the remainder, with a 4-6 week stated delivery. 6 weeks later, they say they have 2 of my 3 windows, yet I'm owed 4! Late September 2023: Four more month yields three good windows and one still incorrect. This crew fixed 3 of the prior window installations, which were very poor. Several exteriors had caulk that pulled away. One interior window had a tape wad filling a gap behind caulk and trim. November 2023: The final window arrives and is installled, 53 WEEKS after the original sales call. Bottom line: Universal used high pressure sales tactics, is really bad at keeping promises, bad at communicating with the customer and bad at talking within the company."

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.
