I came to Yelp with the…read morehope of finding a contractor, and although Casebeer's profile had no reviews, I could tell they were qualified based on the complexity of the installations in their profile pics. It happened to be a holiday when I called Greg (Casebeer) and he was out of town, but he spent the better part of an hour on the phone with me diagnosing the problem and having me text him pics. When he returned to town on a Sunday (after a long flight), he came over to our house right away. He used an infrared imager to locate a leak below our floor. This enabled him to have to access the faulty connection, which had cracked. He made the repair, cleaned the system and also taught me a lot about radiant heating systems in the process -- I refer to him as the mad scientist of radiant heating. He told me that the pumps that someone had installed were way too big for our system and although they moved a lot of water, were moving it very inefficiently. He calculated the size of the appropriate pumps (which he let me order on Amazon since their price was below his cost) and he installed them. The system is now more efficient and quieter. Overall, the experience was great and I would absolutely not hesitate to give Greg a call with any issues related to boiler furnaces or radiant systems. Super knowledgeable and good work.

He's extremely experienced, having started in the solar business in 1981, so there really is nothing a roof or house could throw at Brent that he couldn't handle, I think. I got multiple bids including the most highly reviewed/mentioned Portland firms, and his was not the flashiest proposal or largest possible system, but it was straightforward and took the most efficient approach with respect to the tax incentives. And he didn't want to take chances with the final inspection by cramming too many panels on my roof. Another company sized a 7.3kW system and he felt it may not pass code. I also needed a service upgrade from 100 amps to 200 amps coming into the house, and Brent was happy to build that into the project. The sub he used for that was absolutely great and also added a 240V plug in the garage for my EV with no complaints or haggling. In comparison, one of the other companies I talked to really didn't feel like doing the service upgrade, even though I was happy to pay for it. Brent just wanted to do what was needed to give me a great system. He was fast too...from my first contact with him to switching the system on was two months and a couple days. With respect to payment, he takes a very small payment with the signing of the contract and then doesn't even say a word about getting the rest until everything is complete and all inspections are done. I highly recommend Brent and Gen-Con for your solar PV and thermal needs.

I didn't catch the customer service rep's name but she was cold, unfriendly, sanctimonious, and just came across like I was interrupting her day. She talked down to me, didn't listen to my input, and repeated the same solution over and over even after I told her twice it was not relevant to my situation. When I attempted to explain this fact to her for a third time, citing my many decades of professional experience in the field we were discussing, she implied that I was incompetent because I didn't accept her single, obviously scripted, solution. There comes a moment in many conversations when you realize you are arguing with an idiot. This was the moment. I hung up on her, outlined the exchange on several reviews, and came here.

They can also be emailed through this page: https://www.bbb.org/bbb-directory/us/or TVWD has no fewer than seven fixed charges per billing cycle totaling $199.54, which means **you are paying a minimum $200 bimonthly without even turning on your sink.** I took the liberty of breaking down these costs and attaching pictures from my bills in case anyone is dubious or on the fence about the integrity of this company. Here are the breakdowns as of Jan-Feb 2025: 1.) Water fixed charge: $82.71 2.) Surface water charge - local: $6.58 3.) Surface water charge - regional: $2.19 4.) Sewer base charge - local: $11.58 5.) Sewer usage charge - regional: $31.36 6.) Sewer usage charge - local: $6.08 7.) Sewer base charge - regional: $59.04 **NOTE**: in the photos I attached, not all charges appear in this order. Note as well that the fixed water charge increased. In July-August 2024, the charge was $70.40. In Sept-October it was $71.59, and in Nov-Dec it jumped all the way up to $82.72, where it currently sits as of Jan-Feb 2025. The way Tualatin Valley Water District prices their fixed charges is not only unacceptable, it's despicable. I'm a single individual living alone in my household, and I only use ~$20 worth of water bimonthly (give or take depending on the season). Despite this, I'm still stuck with a bill that's incapable of being less than $200. I applied and was approved for the Community Assistance Program (CAP), which I had hoped would ease some of the burden. However, the 20% off only applies to the fixed water charge and water volume charge, the latter of which is my personal water usage, which happens to be the cheapest part of my bill because it's the only charge I can control. The fixed water charge, as mentioned, is $82.72, and 20% off that and my personal usage means I only get about ~$20 off a month. ($82.72 + $20 = $102.72; 20% off that.) Again, I am a single individual living alone in my house. More importantly, not everyone can be approved for CAP or one-time emergency utility assistance through the county. TVWD inevitably tries to justify it as "competitive market pricing that meets demand needs and helps build and maintain your water delivery/storage/treatment system," but even when considering that, there is no reason to set prices this high. None. This is despicable and inexcusable. There is no justification that someone is paying **seven fixed charges totaling $200** without using a single drop of water. When TVWD digs their heels in about it, it not only makes them look worse, it does nothing whatsoever to alleviate the financial strain they are very clearly imposing upon their customers. There's a reason they have 1.6 stars. This company is so deplorable that I encourage everyone to determine who their water/sewer provider is when they are looking to move so they can avoid Tualatin Valley Water District at all costs. That should tell you something. Please, please report TVWD to the Better Business Bureau. Clearly customer complaints aren't enough. TVWD, I hope you can't sleep at night.
