Services
Solar Electric PV
Solar Electric PV systems convert sunlight into clean electricity using SunPower panels. These high-efficiency panels reduce energy bills while increasing property value. Our certified installers design systems tailored to residential and commercial needs, ensuring optimal performance. We handle tax credits and rebates to make solar affordable.
Solar Thermal
Solar Thermal systems use Apricus evacuated tubes to heat water and spaces efficiently. Ideal for Colorado's climate, these durable systems withstand extreme weather. We integrate solar thermal with existing heating systems, maximizing energy savings for homes and businesses through federal incentives.
Geothermal Systems
Geothermal systems leverage stable underground temperatures for heating and cooling. Our installations include horizontal, vertical, and pond loop configurations. These low-maintenance systems reduce energy use by up to 40% while providing quiet, reliable operation with 20+ year equipment lifespans.
Radiant Heating
Radiant heating delivers even warmth through floors, walls, or ceilings using water heated by boilers, solar, or geothermal sources. This energy-efficient system reduces heating costs by 20-40% while improving indoor air quality by eliminating dust circulation.
Plumbing Services
We provide full-spectrum plumbing solutions for new construction and retrofits. Our licensed plumbers integrate plumbing systems with renewable energy technologies like solar thermal and geothermal. Services include rough-in, trim, water heaters, and gas piping for residential and commercial properties.

All the people that gave this company a thumbs up were very new customers from what it sounds like. I've had mine about 4 years. The installation was not a bad experience. But they tell you it needs to be serviced periodically (like annually) but they have no-body to service them and will not send anyone out. This is not COVID-related because I have dealt with this since installation. I did get lucky the first year and they sent someone to service the equipment for something like $350.
But after that, they don't return calls.if you catch someone on the phone they tell you they will get someone scheduled. BUT nobody ever calls. Last time I attempted, one of the owners said they just don't have anyone to service them. I asked for a referral to a company that could service them and they told me "we won't recommend anyone because nobody out there is good enough." So they get your money and then you are totally on your own after that. I know there must be other companies out there that sell, install AND service their product.

We had some vandalism that destroyed several solar tubes that Bestway had installed. They were easy to work with to schedule the repair, came out quickly, installed the new tubes, made sure the system was working properly, and cleaned up after themselves. Great job.

We purchased solar panels as well as a new furnace and now need service on our thermostat. I have called 15 times to no avail. I even talked with Brian the manager as well as office staff being assured they would get back to me for our problem. Still waiting, now over 2 months. We are sorely disappointed.

We had our solar installed back in late 2014 and early 2015 and it has never worked right it has going off line at lease twice a year if not more. The last few times I had to call Sun Power and they walked through on how to reset it Sun Power sent someone out the first of this month to work on it It was kind of working and when they left it wasn't working at all 2 week later they sent someone out to work on it.
I don't think he new what he was doing because ever question I asked he could not answer me. He did get it working after many phone calls and replacing parts. When he got ready to leave I asked if there where any guarantee all he could say it is running now. They other day I got a call and was told they where going to replace the invertor under warrantee and they wanted to know if we where going to be home and I said yes.
No one has showed up. I have not received any solar credit on my utility bill. The only credit I have gotten is on my taxies I was told that it would pay for it self it has come no where near. Ever time I ask a the tell me they will get back to me but they don't

Our system was installed for $20k, and has never worked. When we asked Bestway to make it work, they told us it was simply that we didn't understand what cold was or what it was like living in the mountains. Been here 16 years btw. Had to hire another company to fix the boiler they barely installed and still trying to figure out how to make the solar function at all so many years later. I highly recommend not going with this company.
