Maine Solar Hot Water, Renewable Energy Installation Customer Testimonials

The ease and professionalism of working with your company was wonderful. It's so apparent that you know your stuff. Everything is working great - the water is hot and the heat works beautifully.

Beth Sturtevant - Yarmouth, Maine

"As our high season draws to a close, I want to update you on the impressive performance of our solar pool system. To date, we have not had to supplement the pool with any LP gas. While the next seventeen days of operation may need a boost, I anticipate we will save $6,000 in heating costs this summer. Thank you very much."

Larry Hudgens - Causeway Club
Southwest Harbor, Maine

"I just wanted to let you know that I have been able to do an analysis of oil gals. burned for the Beachmere South building for the Solar Thermal system. In June 2008 we saved 33% on oil gal. burned compared to June 2007 and 35% saved in gallons of oil burned in July 08 over July 07. I attribute that to the solar hot water system!

As of today, our PV system has generated 2302KWH and saved 3913lbs of CO2. Anyway, thanks again for your efforts in getting our solar hot water and solar electric systems up and running. We speak to all the guests about it on a regular basis."

Sarah Diment, Owner - Beachmere Inn
Ogunquit, Maine

"Guys, I have to say that I'm VERY pleased with the performance of the system so far. Even with all the rainy days I think I ran my furnace twice right up until about two weeks ago. I had thrown the shut-off switch to the furnace a couple days after the install and then forgot all about it. I haven't paid much attention in the last couple weeks but on sunny days like today I'm getting 160+ degrees! Loving it!"

Todd DeWitt
Buckfield, Maine

"Just a note of thanks and praise for Matt and Bub in their review of options for us at our home yesterday. Both are professional, intelligent and passionate about their jobs. Keep up the good work."

Wayne Kruithoff
Wayne, Maine

"Good morning Dan, Thank you for the call last night, everything worked out fine as you said it would. Saturday afternoon as the panel temp dropped down below 220 the pump started and the system is operating fine. I have also noticed that the furnace comes on much less. Dan, you guys have been great to work with and very helpful. Thanks again."

Stan Gawron
Scarborough, Maine

"Well, it finally happened...I had to buy some fuel oil. As you recall, you installed my Tarm in the fall of 2006 and installed the solar hot water panels the following spring. So, I have had 2 winters and 2 summers with them.

I last filled my oil tank in September 2006 and for the first time since then, I had oil delivered last week. (Actually just 100 gallons as that amount will take me through the winter for those days when we're away. And all last summer, the solar panels gave me 6+ months of domestic hot water without oil or wood fuel. So, if you weren't sure, you can put me down on the list of satisfied customers."

Roger Schutte

"I would be happy to give Revision Energy kudos any time! Over and above the product itself, your people speak well for your company!!"

Mike Moss
Cape Elizabeth, Maine

"We are very happy with our solar hot water system. We have not had our boiler on since the day the guys left. That includes all of those cloudy and rainy days too. We will be happy salespersons for Revision."

Paul & Dawne Thornfeldt
South Paris, Maine

"Thank you so much to Hans and Matt for installing my system. It's been a dream that has been realized..."

Mark Sanson
Newcastle, Maine

"I would just like to let you know what a great job your crew did yesterday. Dan and the other guys were pleasant, courteous and cleaned up everything before they left. They also showed up on time. I've had a number of other improvements to my home and your crew were by far the best. Excellent is the rating I would give if surveyed so please tell the guys thanks and a great job done."

Mike Gervais
Sabbattus, Maine

"Judy, I wanted to thank you for all your help in the process, and please pass along thanks to John Luft for his help, as well as Matt, Hans & Justin (hope I got all the names right) they were great!"

Gordon Beck
Northeast Harbor, Maine

"Since the unit has been installed, our furnace has not run at all to heat our hot water for showers, laundry or dishes. We will also be able to heat some of our home this winter and supply all of our domestic hot water. We do not know yet just how much heat for home heating this system will produce, but our home is well insulated and we have a clear area for solar collection year round, so we are hoping it will help us tremendously."

Laurie Sevigny
Norway, Maine

"Your men left here this morning after finishing their work and I must say that your employees Jeff, Eric, Chris and Dan are excellent workers, very courteous and professionals in every way. I have been a public servant for most of my life and also owned and operated a small business for 17 years and I always said that in order to be successful one has to give service to his customers as they are the ones that pay the bills. I am more than happy with their work and workmanship, they are truly an asset to your company."

Edward W. Samson
Lewiston, Maine

"I'm so happy with my solar water heater! My boiler hasn't come on once this summer to heat water (only to heat the house these COLD nights!). If there's anyone who would like to look at my installation, I'd be happy to show it to them. If I can help to get anybody else on board, I'd like help."

Cindy Carusi
Orono, Maine

"We purchased the PV system because it seems like the right thing to do and it sets an example for our daughter. I haven't seen the meter swing backward yet, but I like the daily graphs on the add-on SunPower display and the $ amounts saved each day. Andrea and I are already talking about when we might add more panels, especially if we get the plug-in rechargeable cars expected in 4-5 years.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I'm happy to provide a reference if you ever want and often do so informally at least a few times a month."

Chris Rhoda
Belgrade, Maine

"Yesterday I was out cutting some siding and when I triggered my saw I noticed my electric meter stopped. I thought it was odd, went over to check it out and noticed that the electric meter was running backward from the solar electric panels.

That moment was worth every penny spent on this house. Thank you all."

Ben Tipton
Woolwich, Maine

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased Julie and I were by the crew you sent to install our new solar system. They were the perfect blend of professional and friendly-truly delightful. Although we are now waiting for the sun to reappear so we can see if the system actually works, I'm sure it will because your crew impressed me with the care they used to assemble it. I don't know what you pay them, but I think they all deserve a raise!"

Julie Weaver
Mount Vernon, Maine

"We love our new solar hot water system. Our oil boiler has been literally shut off for a month! Even with a few cloudy weeks in July, there has been enough sun for plenty of hot water and we now take LONG hot showers!

Thanks for being so efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. Keep up the good work guys."

The Jutras Family
Yarmouth, Maine
Solar Domestic Hot Water customer

"Josh and I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for an impressive job well done by Jeff and John and their team on the installation of our solar hot water system. They exceeded our expectations in their level of professionalism, efficiency, knowledge and so much more!

In the future, we will be happy and proud to highly recommend ReVision Energy to anyone who asks... thank you for such a positive experience!"

Josh & Rebecca Knowles
Naples, Maine
Solar Domestic Hot Water customer

"I had two companies perform solar hot water site evaluations at my home that resulted in two significantly different project proposals. Although ReVision Energy's price quote was higher, it was obvious that their system design would offer much better performance based on the size of our household and our domestic hot water demand.

In the end, the reason I chose ReVision was Fortunat's knowledge of solar energy. I have been very pleased with the solar hot water system they installed. My boiler is hardly firing at all this summer and my family is enjoying hot showers produced by sunshine. The ReVision Energy guys do great work!"

Todd DeWitt
Buckfield, Maine

2 kilowatt solar electric system and 30-tube solar domestic hot water system that ReVision Energy installed for Tim and his wife in fall 2007.

"My wife and I want to thank you for your excellent advice and service at our house in Harpswell. From my first inquiry to the turning of the last screw, you made the process easy. I appreciate your professionalism, your passion, and the care with which you kept us informed throughout the experience.

The installation was exactly as you estimated, in cost and timing, and I get a smile on my face every time I look at the readout that tells me we're making our own electricity... Thanks to you all for such a positive experience."

Tim McCreight
Harpswell, Maine

"Just wanted to let you know we've been enjoying our solar system. You didn't mention that watching the collector and tank temperatures changing, and watching for highs and lows, is entertaining!

The issue with our tankless coil not being able to keep up with warming the 47 degree water from the street was negated by the pre-heat of the solar tank, even when the tank was only warming to 70-80 degrees in the less sunny time of year. With the pre-heat the coil can fill the bathtub with hot water without it turning luke warm.

The intellicon seems to be averaging around a 10% savings by its own calculations. We've kept our thermostat at 60 degrees this past winter.

Thanks!"

Teg Glendon
South Portland, Maine

"Hi Folks!

Completed my first month with the Sunpower 205's (solar electric system). The system worked flawlessly and generated 270 kwh's over the 30 day period.

My 10 Sunpower 205's have generated 2,478 KWHs in the 10 months since installation or 247 kwh per month.

I love the system you installed so perfectly."

Rick Schweikert
Searsport, Maine

"We hoped adding attic insulation, a solar domestic hot water system, and a more efficient boiler would save on energy costs.

In fact, our oil consumption dropped from about 900 gallons previously to 464 gallons in 2007. During the late spring, summer and well into the fall, almost all of our domestic hot water comes from the solar system we installed."

Tom Gillen
Milbridge, Maine

"Thank you for the good work!

Our solar hot water system seems to be doing just fine. We are very happy with the way the hot water is working now.

We really appreciate the professionalism of the young men who came to do the job - Geoff, Chris, John and Tim. They were pleasant to have around. They were careful with the house which is particularly important to Jan. It was a pleasant experience all around.

Thanks again."
