We recently had a Solatube light installed. We were very pleased with his professionalism, demeanor and lighting expertise. He did a great job and was concerned about leaving no traces of work behind. We love our Solatube.

Thanks for the great service,

Aynn and Dave O.

Immediately upon installation we were extremely impressed with the results. A once almost dreary interior room has been transformed into a bright, welcoming one.

We couldn't be happier with our new lighting. The men we dealt with were kind and honest. Our installer was very capable and quick. I was surprised that he cleaned up, too!

Thank you so much for making my Solar Attic Fan experience such a nice one. I wasn't sure I should get it without talking to friends about it first, but it's doing the job just as I thought it would and just as you both explained it to me!!! I'm loving it and know "I did good" by getting it.

Today is a very hot muggy day, but it is actually nicer in my home than outside thanks in part to the Solar Attic Fan. Usually by 3:00 until midnight or so my house is warmer and stuffier than outside. It used to take so long to cool down inside my house. Now it's not only better than it used to be but better than it is outside! I'm really happy about it. I notice I'm using my ceiling fans less and closing my front door earlier!

The installer was so nice, helpful and even really fun to speak with on the phone, and then he showed me the product and re-explained everything and was so nice and easy to have at my home. It's just really nice to work with such good people and such a good product. It made my decision easy. Installation was fast and easy and now I'm happy with my decision. How great is this!

So, I just wanted to give you a big thank you...THANK YOU! I will recommend you and the Solar Attic Fan.

Sincerely,

Marilyn T.
