And the door to door salespeople. I had a clever one that other day, instead of “could I interest you in a few review…,” this guy pulls out our local netb metering form and asks if we’ve filled one out. Most don’t know what that is and ask, which gives than a way in to pitch solar.
I like the idea of solar, but I’d need to replace my roof given how old it is, and losing those extra years of life just aren’t worth the “savings” or whatever. I also got an independent quote years ago, and it’s still way lower than anything these door to door clowns are offering (granted, they’re after loans, not cash payments).
As a seasoned homeowner, I can now spot them quickly and just say “not interested” and close the door before they can say, “but I’m not a salesperson” or whatever. I’m done being considerate (have had a few people in to give quotes I’m not interested in), so I’m blunt. I have a price in mind, and nobody has gotten within 2x of that.
