Joe Springer | Mount Vernon, Washington | 06/22/2024

Affordable, efficient and responsive

I had 3 solar outfits bid the job. One national outfit was astronomically more and Fire Mountain and the other were almost exactly the same. I decided to go local, and I’m glad I did. We have had a bunch of contractors and vendors at our house as we try to rehab it and I’ve grown used to unresponsiveness, delays, excuses, and unclear bids. Fire Mountain has been the one exception. They were responsive and helpful, there were no overruns. They ended up having an earlier opening and said they had a 3 day window where they could fit us in. I thought to myself “3 days” for a pretty large solar project, this is gonna drag on. Sure enough they banged it out in 3 days, left no mess, and even after the inspection they were out the next day to square away the small things the inspector wanted. In the last year I have had plumbers, HVAC, builders, electricians, landscapers, fence guys, etc at our house and Fire Mountain was not only the best experience, but probably the best in every category (responsiveness, timeliness, cost, professionalism, etc). I don’t do a lot of 5 star reviews but this is an easy one.

Horrible service and installation

I hired FMS 8 years ago to install a hybrid solar/ wind system and Tim did nothing right in the installation. He told me the wrong wire size to bury for the wind turbine ($1,500), wrong size pipe for the solar rack ($400), and the wiring is a mess. right now I am working with an electrician to get it all cleaned up and I'm looking at another $5,000 to get that done. <br />Before you hire FMS, do some research and find a quality installer.

Challenging Solar Implementation

I have several tall trees to the south of my home and finding the right mix of panels and the right angles of exposure was a challenge. Fire Mountain Solar performed a very thorough review of my roof and came up with a great plan. I am already producing kwh about as much as I use, and this is not the best time of year. I am confident that the design from Fire Mountain Solar will completely offset ALL of my electricity usage. Their installers were very professional, and they took great care of my roof and gutters.

Solar install with net metering

We had a really good experience with Fire Mountain. No high pressure tactics, we were put in contact with a technical person when we had more questions about different options, and we were quickly given estimates for the different setups we were looking for. The team was accurate with their estimated install dates and length and were in contact with me throughout the process. Fire mountain also took care of permits and submitting net metering applications to my utility. We haven’t had any issues with our system since it was installed, and have been seeing the solar credit in our electric bill each month. We recommend Fire Mountain.

A truly exceptional solar power vendor

Fire Mountain Solar was responsible for designing and deploying the power system for our island property. The project involved one of the largest residential solar deployments in the county. The property is entirely off-grid. Tim N. and the rest of the Fire Mountain Solar team was terrific to work with at all stages. From the design and planning stage, throughout the buildout, and including after-sales support, the team has been highly responsive, extraordinarily professional, creative, and thoughtful about the living needs of our property. Special kudos for Fire Mountain Solar's handling of unexpected issues as they arose during building construction and for taking a solution-oriented approach working with our construction team. It was obvious that the entire Fire Mountain Solar team took great pride in their work and were meticulous about every detail. Everything including the panel grids, the layout of the main power room, the mounting of inverters and charge controllers, and the routing of the cables was executed beautifully, as if it were intended for display as art. The team also prepared detailed documentation manuals, provided training, and has been especially responsive in supporting the system on an ongoing basis. They provided and continue to provide exceptional service.

Service so good I'm reviewing them twice!

Since my first attempt at leaving a review here didn't seem to go through, I'm trying it again. Fire Mountain Solar was fantastic to work with. Friday was very responsive and helped us weigh the pros and cons as we decided what type of system would be beneficial. I never felt any pressure to buy, and she addressed all my questions with expertise. The installation and set up was as painless as could be. They were here right when they said they would be, and Tim was quick to answer my questions as we waited for PSE to do their final installation and approval. I also found them to be flexible and honest. Between the time of our initial inquiry and the time of installation, the cost of panels dropped, and they were quick to pass that savings on to us. In addition, once they were actually on the roof, they realized they could simplify the layout from what they had initially planned, which will benefit us whenever the time comes to do more work on them. I highly recommend them to anyone considering going solar.

A great and efficient company to work with

From start to finish of our project, the staff at Fire Mountain were excellent to work with. They answered my many questions, communicated regularly with project updates, and showed up exactly when they said they would. The project was on budget and they handled all of the communication with the electric company, L&I, and our municipality. I would highly recommend them to others.

Couldn't be happier

Had a wonderful experience with Fire Mountain Solar. From the quotation process, installation, inspections to PTO, FM was perfect all along the way (at a great value!) L&I was even especially complimentary on the installation. If I had another solar project, I'd not hesitate to work with Friday, Tim and the entire crew again. Thanks FM solar!!
