HOT WATER TANKS Water heater rentals are a great solution for many homeowners who have a short-to-medium time frame in their house, own a tenanted property, are looking for a peace-of-mind solution to address their domestic hot water needs, or simply wish to have a clear idea of their monthly house budget over the long term without the worry of heater repairs. Many consumers are confused by which company they actually rent their water heater from, thinking that because the charge appears on their gas bill that they rent from “gas-company”. In fact, most customers in Toronto rent their heaters from Centrica PLC, an international energy services company based in the United Kingdom, which operates in Canada under the brand name Direct Energy™. Although they bill on the gas bill, they are not, in any way, affiliated with your gas utility. Belyea Bros. has a wide range of hot water tank solutions for your family’s needs. We have an excellent rental program providing a comparable rate and great reliable products. We provide a fix rate increase, unlike the other guys who may raise your billing at anytime. TANKLESS HOT WATER Tankless hot water heaters are common in Europe and Japan. They can supply an endless supply of hot water, with greater energy savings than conventional tanks. They are, however, limited in the amount of hot water that can be produced at one time and the upfront costs are higher. ELECTRICAL SERVICE Belyea Bros. Electrical specializes in helping home and business owners in the older neighborhoods of Toronto. We provide electrical service, repair and installation whether it’s diagnosing and fixing a broken outlet, or re-wiring your whole home, Belyea Bros. Electrical is here to help.

Hiring a Solar Power Energy Company vs. a Renewable Energy Specialist

When planning a clean energy project, it’s important to understand the difference between working with a solar power energy company and hiring a renewable energy specialist. Both offer valuable expertise, but the right choice depends on your project goals.

Hiring a Solar Power Energy Company for Full-Service Support

A solar power energy company typically handles everything from system design and permits to installation and maintenance. They often have teams of licensed installers, electricians, and project managers, making them a one-stop shop for solar PV panels, EV charger installations, and ongoing service. This option is ideal if you want a streamlined process with all work managed by a single provider.

What to Expect from a Renewable Energy Specialist

A renewable energy specialist usually provides more tailored advice and focused expertise. They may conduct energy audits, design hybrid systems that integrate solar, wind, or heating, and recommend the most cost-efficient solutions for your property. While they may not handle the full installation themselves, they often collaborate with solar companies or technicians to implement their recommendations.

On HomeStars, you can find both solar energy companies and renewable energy specialists, each with a public profile and verified homeowner reviews. This makes it easier to choose the right fit for your clean energy project.

What to Ask Before You Hire a Solar Power Energy Company Near You

Before committing to a solar project, it’s worth asking the right questions. From installation expertise and system design to pricing and maintenance, knowing what to ask ensures you choose a solar power energy company that delivers real value and long-term reliability.

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing a solar professional:

What services do you offer?

Not every provider handles the same scope of work. Some focus solely on solar PV panel installations, while others also cover EV charger setups, solar water heating, or energy audits. A renewable energy specialist may even design hybrid systems that integrate wind or other clean energy sources. Be sure to confirm whether they also provide aftercare services like maintenance or repairs.

Are you licensed and insured?

Confirm that the solar power energy company or solar company installers are certified and carry liability insurance to protect your property. For more complex projects, such as roof reinforcements or electrical upgrades, ask whether they work with qualified engineers or licensed electricians who meet Canadian building codes and provincial regulations.

What are your rates, and how are they structured?

Pricing models can vary: some companies quote a flat project cost, while others break it down by materials, labour, and permitting. Don’t forget to ask about hidden extras, such as roof reinforcements or battery storage.

Be sure to ask:

  • Is the quote all-inclusive, covering permits and inspections?
  • How do costs compare between solar PV, solar water heating, and EV charger installation?
  • A clear breakdown avoids surprises later.

Can you provide references or reviews?

Reputation is everything. A suitable solar energy company should have case studies, references, or verified homeowner reviews. Whether you’re browsing on HomeStars or speaking directly with past clients, reviews give insight into their reliability and workmanship.

What’s your timeline and installation process?

Solar projects often involve permits and inspections before installation begins. Ask how long it typically takes from signing the contract to switching on your system. If you’re working with a clean energy consultant, confirm whether they assist with navigating local regulations and incentives.

What maintenance or aftercare do you provide?

Solar systems generally need little upkeep, but components like inverters and batteries may require servicing. Ask if the company offers ongoing maintenance, monitoring, or repair services. Some also provide annual inspections or partnerships with wind energy technicians and other specialists for broader renewable solutions.

FAQs: Your Questions About Solar Power Energy Companies Answered

How long do solar panels last?

Solar PV panels typically last 25–30 years, with inverters needing replacement after around 10–15 years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal efficiency.

What if my roof isn’t suitable for solar panels?

If your roof isn’t structurally sound or doesn’t get enough sun, a renewable energy specialist may suggest alternatives like ground-mounted systems or hybrid solar–wind setups.

Can I add battery storage later?

Yes, many solar company installers design systems that are battery-ready, so you can add storage in the future. This allows you to store excess energy and use it during peak hours or outages.

How much maintenance do solar systems need?

Minimal - mainly cleaning panels a few times a year and ensuring no shading or debris interferes. Some companies include annual inspections or monitoring services in their packages.

Can solar energy companies also work with wind energy?

Some renewable energy specialists and wind energy technicians offer hybrid solutions that combine solar and wind power for greater resilience and output.
