We recently installed rooftop solar on our house. The Energize Wayland Team was extremely helpful including explaining the process, comparing the three different quotes we received and answering any questions we had. The Energize Wayland Team provided their expertise and experience with solar, which gave us the confidence to move forward with the project. One concern we had was with the aesthetics of the panels as they would be on the front of our house. We worked with the solar company to ensure any metal piping would not be visible and that black panels would be installed. We are extremely happy with the look and energy output of the panels so far. 

I am trying to take a step each year to decarbonize my home. This year, I removed my 12-year old natural gas water heater and installed a Heat Pump Water Heater. I could not be happier with it! The water is hot and plentiful, it has leak detection feature so that when I am traveling it will text me if there is a problem, and the new federal tax credit of up to $2000 went into effect in 2023. But really, it is knowing I took the next step to fossil fuel freedom that makes me happy!

Bolivar heating & plumbing, a Wayland based small business did a great job. Ron Bolivar was knowledgeable, got me a Rheem and passed through the MA $750 rebate off the cost of the equipment. 

We LOVE our new hot water heat pump. Obviously, it's great that we're no longer using oil to heat our water, but the main thing is that this is a stable piece of machinery. We got a Ruud 65-gallon one, and it has a bunch of modes (Vacation, Energy Saver, Heat Pump, and High Demand among others). It's certainly enough for a family of four plus visitors. We also pay a bit extra to have our electricity provided via wind power, so it's neat to think that our water is wind-powered. It has a built-in dehumidifier (a bonus for a basement). It's quiet. It came with an instant rebate of $7500, so it was around $4200 plus $500 to get the electricity connected to it. Our old indirect water heater kept having its coil damaged from the hard water of Wayland, which led to pressure imbalances and then the overflow valve kicking in - in other words, basement flooding. We are really happy to be done with that setup. Great conversion, done fast. Dana McLeod and team were excellent.

We have a large 1800s colonial and guest house, both with clear south facing roofs and limited tree cover next to the homes, so basically an ideal situation for installing solar panels. But due to previous MA laws, we couldn't maximize the roofs wtihout breaking residential caps (ie 1 net meter and production limits).  I interviewed 8 solar companies looking for creative solutions but all besides Isaksen really took a higher volume, cookie cutter approach.  One of Isaksen's founders, Brad, spent 3 hours at our house, explained everything and provided a custom solution which would not cost us anything more but would require them to do more legwork and paperwork with the utilities.  Long story short, Isaksen was head and shoulders above everyone else we interviewed, very competitively priced and explained things the best because they clearly love what they do and it's a purpose not just a business for them.  We have recently installed the solar panels and are very happy with results.  

We are thrilled to be getting a nice tax credit for our new hot water heat pump! That’s really the bonus because the heat pump itself has been a game-changer. We're enjoying a consistent supply of hot water and have had no more plumbing issues! Making eco-friendly decisions has proven to be quite rewarding – for our planet and our daily lives. Here's to a greener future, one hot shower at a time!" 🌎💧🔥

Our roof top solar was a great financial deal, paid for itself in 5 years.  And now we get credits on our electric bill each month. We leased ours but would suggest folkks buy their systems as its easier to handle any issues that come up
