According to EnergyStar, 70% of a systems life expectancy is determined by how the system is installed. Our scope of work holds us accountable and gives our customers peace of mind that their system is installed correctly and will last for years to come. The price you see includes all these items, usually sold by other companies as an option. That is a Jay’s install!
