Work with Alan

Start with an hour. Most problems are a sizing or design mistake that one conversation can catch before it's poured in concrete.

An hour, $150

Video call. Send your plans, your power bill or your load list ahead of time and we work through it live. You leave with numbers you can hand to your builder, electrician or HVAC contractor. Anywhere in the US.

Good for: solar and battery sizing, off-grid versus on-grid, HVAC tonnage and airflow, generator versus inverter-charger versus dual-fuel heat pump, what to automate and what not to.

A design package

When an hour isn't enough, I design the system: solar, battery, backup, HVAC or the whole set. You get drawings and a parts list your contractor can build from. Priced per project after a first hour.

Building it

I build in Utah, Southern Nevada and Northern Arizona, as a sub for the power and mechanical systems or as the GC for the house. Schedule is the constraint. If I can't build yours because of location, timing or a conflict, I consult on your project with your builder instead.

How to start

Send a note through the contact form with where the house is, where you are in the process and what's bothering you. I reply within two business days with whether an hour makes sense and how to book it. Payment is by invoice for now.

A self-serve HVAC design tool is in the works. It will appear here when it's ready.
