Maintaining Your Solar System
In order to function at their peak, solar energy systems need to be inspected and maintained periodically. You can perform some of the necessary checks by yourself, while others call for an experienced contractor. Here are some suggestions for periodic inspection:
- Check collector shading during the day. This should be done annually to ensure that new vegetation growth isn’t covering the solar panels during their prime energy collection time.
- Clean collectors. Dirty or dusty solar collectors won’t perform at their peak. Periodic cleaning is necessary in dusty climates.
- Inspect collector glazing. Make sure the seals are in good condition. If the glazing is cracked or overly yellow, it may need to be replaced.
- Check plumbing and wiring connections and insulation. Make sure there are no fluid leaks and check that all wiring connections are tight. Inspect the insulation around piping and replace damaged areas if necessary.
- Look at roof penetrations and support structures. Sealant and flashing surrounding roof penetrations should be in good condition. Nuts and bolts supporting the solar collector should be tight.
- On liquid solar heating collectors, check the pressure relief valve. This should be able to move and not be stuck either open or closed.
- In solar air heating systems, check the dampers. Make sure the dampers can open and close like they are supposed to.
- Verify the operation of distribution pumps and fans. Listen to make sure they turn on when the sun shines on the collector in the afternoon. If you don’t hear a fan operating, either the controller or the fan has malfunctioned.
- Inspect storage tanks. Look for cracks, rust, leaks, or other signs of wear that need attention.
- Replace antifreeze periodically. This task is best left to an experienced service professional.

12/8/2023 UPDATE Fredi was phenomenal! He worked an 11-hour day nonstop for us! The items on our list were numerous, many difficult because of the age of our building! Always pleasant and polite! Always going beyond expectations! WOW! Ty is part of this review with equal kudos!11/8/2023 UPDATEJoshua checked our one year old heating system for the semi-annual maintenance as part of our contract. He found our system working well. He patiently answered all my questions and provided some educational tips as well. Joshua is another commendable testimony to the excellent training Blanton’s provides to their technicians.Update to include review of Dustin Bracken who did a complete plumbing system inspection today (4/27/23) as defined in our WOW contract. Dustin couldn’t have been more thorough. After inspecting every item pertaining to plumbing, he flushed the hot water heater. His willingness to answer my many questions, provide additional knowledge and advise needed corrections was outstanding! He is a very personable and respectful asset to Blanton’s and us, the customers. Dustin finished up with recommendations and the costs. We will welcome him back any time.Don King was very thorough, explaining everything he did and gracefully answered questions we posed. He was professional in appearance and manner. He had recommendations for added equipment to protect the unit indoors.

A very timely response to my phoned in hot water heater emergency. A skilled plumber, Mr Vincent Maples responded and quickly identified the problem. I concured with Mr Maples the existing aged water heater warranted replacement. He arrived at 8 am promptly the next morning as promised. Mr Maples worked tirelessly to remove the old heater and installed the new 50 gallon water heater which he previously arranged to be delivered. His professionalism, attention to detail and skilled workmanship was evident in the finished product meeting all local code requirements. As a former apprentice plumber myself in the 1960's, I was truly impressed with the quality of the work.Without asking, Mr Maples replaced my washing machine which I had previously moved to give him unrestricted access. He placed my washer back into its original position and reconnected all water lines. At 74 years of age, I very much appreciated his kindness.

Recently, I encountered a critical issue with my tankless water heater, and Blanton's Air, Plumbing, & Electric not only rose to the occasion but also exceeded my expectations. Their top-notch scheduling and dispatch team ensured that I was informed about the arrival of their experts, utilizing cutting-edge technology to provide real-time updates via a text message app—emphasizing their commitment to excellence as a state-of-the-art HVAC company.From the moment Chris H, Nick B, and Greg arrived, their expertise and professionalism were apparent. The team systematically identified issues with my tankless system and patiently walked me through each necessary step to bring it up to code. Their compassionate approach alleviated the stress of the situation, addressing not only the immediate problem but also providing guidance on the required next steps.What left a lasting impression was their remarkable efficiency and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Blanton's had all the necessary tools and hardware ready within 24 hours, ensuring a prompt resolution the very next day. The entire crew, under the leadership of Chris H., exhibited a rare level of dedication, working tirelessly on my tankless system.Going above and beyond, Chris H, Nick B, and Greg not only resolved the initial problem but also took the initiative to replace all the fittings inside my house. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship were truly commendable.In summary, Blanton's Air, Plumbing, & Electric delivered exceptional service, seamlessly blending compassion and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend their plumbing expertise. Without a doubt, they deserve a five-star rating!PART 2I experienced a water pressure issue, specifically with the Pressure Regulating Valve and the main water shut-off in my home, along with a loose diverter valve in the tub. To address these concerns, I reached out to Nick B at Blantons, who promptly provided an estimate that closely matched my own calculations. Chris from Blantons then contacted me, expressing a desire to expedite the service, and successfully coordinated the timing, arranging for a service technician to visit sooner than initially expected.The next day, Phillip T. from Blantons arrived. His exceptional courtesy and high level of professionalism were evident throughout the service. Phillip worked diligently, meticulously double and triple-checking his own work. Importantly, he took the time to guide me through each step of the process and offered advice on making adjustments if needed. As a result, I can now use both showers, the dishwasher, laundry, and water the plants without encountering any issues.Furthermore, I opted to have an access hatch installed behind the shower cutout for future servicing. I highly recommend this service, as it has the potential to save you money in the long run. I confidently endorse Blanton's Air, Plumbing, & Electricfor any future plumbing work.

Every one was very professional and I’m very impressed with the whole process and how easy and quickly we were taken care of. Special thanks to the guys who installed the units. They were all very friendly and professional. Geno, Tyrell, Branden. and Roman. They all made sure all my questions were answered. Geno explained the work they did and showed me how to use the thermostats. They all were very nice and knowledgeable. I didn’t get the chance to meet Kevin, the salesman but he was a pleasure to speak to over the phone. The first technician that showed up to assess the problems was very helpful and professional as well. This is a great company and was highly recommended to me and now I can attest that I am truly satisfied with the services Blanton provided. Thank you so much.

Blanton’s is an awesome company. We recently had to have our HVAC replaced. Terry came out for a service call and was able to clearly show and explain what was going on with our unit. He called Kevin, who came out immediately to help guide us in purchasing a new unit and stayed until all of our questions were answered. Tyrell and Gino were able to come out the next morning and install it and did an amazing job. We also had a plumbing issue and Phillip saved the day. He was thorough, professional and honest. Seriously, all of these guys were top-notch and the nicest service people we have ever met. All of them helped us tremendously and gave top of the line service. We couldn’t recommend them enough!
