Valverde Energy in Taos

Top notch, somehow squeezed me in same-day. I had pipes burst and he fixed them in about an hour. Professional and excellent work. I highly recommend them. Diego was awesome. The picture is the before; its a running electric heater standing in an inch of water. Not what you want to come home to. But thanks to Valverde Energy, its all fixed three hours later.

I am not a fan of reviews written before systems have really been put through their paces, so this review is based on real experience. I live completely off the grid - there are no utilities available at my location. Four years ago Valverde Energy installed a 6kw photovoltaic system on the house I was building. In addition, five 4x8 thermal solar panels were installed on the south-facing exterior wall of my garage. Together they provide all the energy needs and radiant heat for my 1450 sq. ft. home, garage and well. Have there ever been issues? A couple, but the customer service response has been excellent and thats what you really count on after doing business with a company. I have no background in things electrical, so there has definitely been a learning curve in order to troubleshoot a couple of times, but Ive been guided through the process and had my questions answered. I can highly recommend working with Valverde Energy for your solar needs.

Want the best? Then go to Valverde Energy and plumbing because they are the BEST....seriously!They are professional, honest and kind. The crew is super nice, they know what they are dong and they explain things before they do the work. The office staff is absolutely fantastic. I have used them since I arrived in Taos 14 years ago and highly recommend them...as I said at the beginning...they are the BEST!

Valverde Energy installed a solar hot water system for me in the fall of 2007. Larry Mapes, the owner, suggested I also switch out from propane to natural gas, since it was in the new road adjacent to my property. With those two changes, my gas bill has dropped from about $1200 a year to about $300 a year. That includes heat, which is minimal, since I heat mostly with wood. My gas bill averages $26 a month now, and in the summer (hot water and very little cooking), it is about $13. The solar thermal system paid for itself after 6 years (two years ago), so now my hot water from the sun is actually free!The customer service is excellent. If I have questions, they are promptly answered. I needed one service call, and Dave came out the same day. Larry set up a payment plan with me, too, so it was painless.I highly recommend Valverde Energy for solar thermal installations and all your plumbing needs!

Our heat went out. Valverde came the next day. Our serviceman had reviewed our file and system at the office so he new what to expect. He explained everything, fixed the problem, without the need for any new equipment. We have trusted Larry with our plumbing and heating for years. We highly recommend Valverde Energy. Jeff Tetenbaum

As President of Placitas Real Condominium Association I oversaw maintenance and projects on the property. When a new boiler was required in one of the buildings, Valverde Energy did the proper research and provided us with several options. They were respectful, did an excellent and thorough job. The boiler they recommended has saved the association considerable money in heating costs. For the level of expertise and the continued support they were well worth the money.

We work up one cold winter morning to discover that our heat had stopped working overnight. I called Valverde and they were out within an hour and had the problem resolved within the next half hour. Very responsive and great work!

Valverde Energy has come to the rescue for Taos Center for the Arts so many times -- they always come within an hour or two after I call, its usually Paul and Mario, who are pleasant, straightforward and even have a sense of humor (and they dont treat me like a dumb woman, which I very much appreciate), and they get the work DONE. We have some tricky problems since the Manby House was built in 1898 -- its not always easy to figure out why a toilet wont flush or a drain is backing up. Paul and Mario are terrific at troubleshooting and finding the root cause. If they have to dig, they dig. If they dont have to dig, they wont do it just to jack up the bill. We dont bother calling any other plumber nowadays, we just call Valverde right away.

5 stars - I am new to living in the Taos area and needed work done on the house we moved into. Valverde energy stepped up and went over and above to provide the very best service I have had even living in much larger cities. Thank you Kay and team!

Thank you so much for the prompt and professional service. All your team members were so courteous and efficient. We look froward to you installing a water softener system for us.

We HIGHLY recommend Valverde Energy & Plumbing. They are professional and knowledgeable. No nonsense - they get the work done timely and get it done right, and stand behind their work. We had two solar systems installed by Valverde, Thermal and Photovoltaic. The systems are working and we could not be more pleased. Thank you Valverde!
