10. Maintain Good Records

Keep files on:

  • Your pre-purchase research and pre-installation data provided by your installer
  • Bids
  • Contracts
  • Inspection reports
  • Maintenance records
  • All other details you may need to refer to in the future

In addition, you’ll want to know about system performance, so set up a system to track and compare your actual system performance with predictions provided by the contractor/ installer.
