I believe that we posted this before, to watch what you wish for (lower costs, ”systems” that do it all like the other vendor’s, but for less ). Be sure to REALLY get to know your AVA custom installer. Also be sure you REALLY know that your internet source(s) is reputable, reliable and playing on common ground. Many projects we work on, if not all, are really a building of a trust and relationship that allows us to educate our client base through the process of a project. Primarily because the information they have read or research isn’t always written from a common point of view. Or the other AVA company is bidding a system that is not ”apples to apples” but rather apples to watermellons”, but they sell that they are the same.  We have in many instances shown the client the differences just in good-faith. The article placed by CEPro below really highlights the politics of some reviews.  [...CK]
