We do appreciate that Villages residents have a choice of companies and products when they are looking for more natural daylighting and solar attic venting applications, and honestly we are not always the most fitting choice if people are making a decision based solely on the cheapest initial cost. What we do encourage residents to consider, however, are all relevant factors so that they can make an educated choice:
PERFORMANCE: Only Solatube brand carries a highest performance guarantee. This is because Solatube invented and patented Fresnel lens dome technology that bends light down the tube, which no other brand having a passive dome can match. Also, Solatube’s spectralight infinity tubing material carries a 99.7% reflectivity that is also patented and unmatched by any other imitation brand. These two design patents mean that, size for size, a Solatube will bring down more overall light throughout the day and better quality light than any other imitation brand. This can be verified in that no other manufacturer carries a highest performance guarantee like Solatube, and most other imitation brands have to manufacture an 18 to 21” size large tube for bigger room sizes in residential homes. Solatube’s 14” tube is all that is needed to bring down the same or more light than these off-brand lesser performing units.
PRODUCT: Solatube is the only brand that has been featured in national advertising and on national TV programs like the HG tv channel and Bob Vila’s “This Old House.” These venues also had a choice of brands and products, and chose the original, patented Solatube as the product to endorse. Also, the FL Product approval on both our Solatubes and our Solar fans guarantees that the products are manufactured to the highest standards possible.
COMPANY: As far as companies performing the work, The Solar Guys is the only licensed Roofer and General Contractor that is doing this type of product install. Just look on the “Talk of the Villages” blog and you will quickly see that we are the overwhelming choice for most discerning customers for the reasons listed above. Even the Villages warranty department recommends our company as the one to have this type of work done. These are not solicited endorsements, they are informed choices by people wanting the best investment for their dollar.
You are also always welcome to visit our local showroom located on 441 just 1 mile south of the Market of Marion. We have about 15 units installed in different sized rooms with all the different fixtures and accessories.
