Default Solar Tube Company Recommendations

Does anyone have recommendations on which companies to use for solar tube installations?

I used Solar Guys 3 times. Once to install 3 solar tubes, second time to install a solar attic fan, then again this year to install window tints to reduce the sun glare on the east side of my Villa. Would not hesitate for an instant to hire them again. Very knowledgeable, courteous and professional every time.

I don't have any comparison because I've never used anyone else, but yeah. Solar Guys are tip top.

Anyone willing to say how much it cost per tube? Surely want to put one in when we arrive.

Solar Guys did my tube and Solar Lights ans More from Ocala due my attic fan. If I needed another tube or fan, I'd go with Solar Guys. They do what they say! Had trouble with Solar Lights as they didn't file for the permit and it took Us time and effort to get it straighten out. As for price, they both advertise specials all the time. Plus Solar Guys have a great showroom just north of TV on 441/27.

If you call them they will give you price quotes over the phone including any specials they have. They gave me an over the phone quote just a few weeks back.

We are thinking about getting a tube or some tubes and if we do I will go to Solar Guys. Not once have I heard a thing about them on this forum that wasn't good.

We've had Solar Guys install 3 solar tubes in our Begonia, one in the kitchen, laundry and master bath. We're thinking of putting one in the living/dining room but are apprehensive since we don't know how it will look. Has anyone put a tube in the living/dining area and are you happy you did? We're concerned that it might look out of place but we know we would enjoy the added light. Thanks for your input.

Yep Solar Guys for sure 3 solar tubes and 1 attic fan for us. Probably over 6 years ago and no problems thinking of one more tube and attic fan in the future! Excellent workmanship and very professional!
