My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Locating thermal solar advice / installer

18 years ago

We're building a new house near Nashville, Tennessee. We're interested in solar powered hot water but have had no success locating someone here who can advise us or install a system. How would you recommend I go about finding local people who could help us?
