DIY vs Professional Installation
Electric-Innovation Professional installers have seen it all – with their very varied experience they have developed problem solving skills unique to the installation of all renewable energy products / plumbing applications.
Although some DIY solar kit brochures make it sound like something anyone could do ie.,(Installing solar panels) and integrating them into your homes plumbing and heating system is a complex undertaking. It requires diverse skills in construction, plumbing, carpentry and electrical wiring skills.
Unless you can bring the same level of expertise and experience to the project as a professional, using a reputable installer will save you time and money while ensuring the highest quality of both materials and workmanship. A reputable renewable energy product Installer will know the ins and outs of the building regulations in your area, and also have information on all the grants available, that can help offset the cost of the installation. Your “sunk costs” as a DIYer include
a substantial investment in tools supplies and time, while using an installer lets you “leverage” their long term cost efficient commitments to the tools and technical skills needed for your installation.
