Paul Lucas did the estimate himself, and then his crew came do to the installation. They did good work, made sure the pipes weren't visible on the outside of the house, and I've been happy with the system ever since. If I recall correctly, the only thing I had to do was find something to place the water heater on, in my case some packs of shingles. The electric pump I mention in the article did fail under warranty almost a year later, so they replaced it at no charge. Something was definitely wrong with the old one, because the new one seems to pump at the right times. Hi Bev, our contractor was Solar Engineering & Contracting out of Kalaheo.

What a treat! I'm a former Kauai resident now living in Italy, but I always love to promote my true "home". Hope you don't mind, but I'm linking your site to mine so that other's can learn a little more about the islands. Aloha! Hi Andy,
