Energy has long been a complex issue for home owners. With rising electricity prices and a heavy reliance on fossil fuels, a number of our customers shared with us the pain this has on their lifestyle: 1. "I am confused about my electricity bills." 2. "I need to help lower the cost of electricity and its impact on my life and the environment." 3. "I wish I knew what my air conditioner cost to run" 4. "I'm not sure if an investment in solar or a battery will payback." 5. "I wish someone trusted and independent would help me."
