Several commercial energy systems are eligible for corporate depreciation and a 30% Federal Corporate Tax Credit.  Our management team will work with you throughout the project to answer any questions you may have.  Our manufacturers stand by our projects and will be sure to deliver the highest quality products.  Helios Electric is your renewable energy project management company.  We are not a home-based business and we do not operate out of a garage or from a residential address.  Our corporate office and distribution center is located in Arlington, TX in between Dallas and Fort Worth only a few minutes from DFW airport. 

Residential Energy Systems:  We have years of experience, hands on installations, solar power, wind power, engineering education and a wealth of electrical knowledge.  We will evaluate your project from the inside out in order to reduce your energy consumption by at least 20-80% and make a renewable energy system work for you.  For some homes in Dallas this can be a savings of over $4000.00 per year!  Our residential and commercial assessments cover a full site visit, solar or wind system design and a project quote. 

We are not middle men or a third party offering limited knowledge and extra cost to your renewable energy system.  We are the source.
  You will always speak directly with a certified dealer and trained installers.  All project assessments are deductible from your renewable energy installation if you choose us as your installer.

Home Builders / Commercial Builders:  If your thinking of building more efficient homes and businesses we can help.  Adding a alternative energy system to a new build is one of the most cost effective ways to start using renewable energy.  It immediately adds value and efficiency and usually comes at a better price than retrofitting an older home.  As you plan out your design their are many techniques and system designs that make new builds much better candidates for renewables.  Living green means building green!  We can lead you in the right direction and recommend and install several energy system designs. 

Renewable Energy Projects:  In our business we deal with customization and new products on a daily basis.  We provide an engineering service to build the energy systems you need whether they power a pump, one light bulb or entire business.  We will provide you with a range of energy options using wind power, solar power, microturbines, fuel cells, geothermal and many others.  Our engineering services provide you with a full selection of the most up to date alternative energy systems. 

Custom Off Grid Projects:  More of our customers have approached us with questions about other online renewable stores with a lot of confusion about the products and very minimal support they receive.  Most online stores have never even seen what they sell and manufacturers understand only functionality of their own products.  Many online stores are even working out of their homes and continue to drop ship untested products to risky buyers.  We have years of field tested products and experience.  Our staff is highly trained and we know electrical systems and code requirements like the back of our hand.  Don't get caught up in buying a prototype, development project or be a test case for a new online retailer working from a phony address. 

Our products are reliable and function correctly in real life applications.  We won't sell anything that doesn't and if you walk in the door we will tell you what works and what does not work.  We provide nothing but honesty and good business practice.  Since wiring and system sizing is generally custom we recommend you schedule an appointment to stop by the workshop so we can configure a smaller energy system to your needs.  All system assembly is done right here in the shop with plenty of one on one interactive product support so give us a call and schedule your appointment today. 

Our Installation Guarantee:
  In addition to manufacturers warranties, Helios Electric includes a three year installation guarantee on any solar or wind power installation project.  For solar energy systems this is no indication of system failure as solar systems last for 30 or more years.  This installation guarantee assures our customers that installations and designs were done correctly and that we followed all proper installation guidelines and national electrical codes.

Planning & Development Services - City of Frisco.  2007 Frisco Green Home Fair will be held on Saturday, August 4th at Frisco Commons Park, 8000 McKinney Road.  Booth hours will be 9AM-1PM.

International:  We welcome all international projects and can offer consulting services such as project management, installation training, material delivery and international installation crews.  Feel free to email us with project descriptions and project timelines. 

We continue to design small portable systems to help bring solar energy to remote locations in Africa.  The use of these portable systems is to promote the use of renewables in the African nation.  Feel free to call is if you would like to purchase one of these portable systems and ship to parts of Africa that need an independent source of electric power.  We can size up a battery bank that fits your needs.

Investors:  Are you an investor looking for renewable energy opportunities?  We have been in the energy management industry for several years and have a clear view of where the industry is headed and where investment is most needed.  You can count on us as a trusted advisor and you can bet our views of the industry will not only surprise you but lead you towards more profitable investments.

Media has done a poor job at identifying where opportunity may exist and is causing a lot of investor money to be thrown into renewable money pits.  What surprises us is many investors base investment on stories or products that don't even exist instead of looking for trusted advisors that have been working on real world applications.  Companies like Helios Electric know what people are looking for and can identify future investments with less risk. 

Helios Electric is always looking for ways to help our customers benefit more from our products and services.  Our services are a reliable and cost saving investment for our customers and a proven technology for our investors.  They generate immediate returns and stimulate our economy.  Alternative renewable energy products will have a long term impact on the way we live, the earth, and younger generations.  It will also create many jobs, give people more energy choices and save money.  As more evidence continues to point towards global warming and unhealthy living conditions our society will have no choice but to live more green. 

Emergency Communication & Power:  Since we educate and teach energy independence coupled with emergency response we are a proud supporter of ARRL.  ARRL is the National Association for Amateur Radio.  This is a non-profit organization which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.

The future is beginning to present the need for solar, wind and other energy systems to provide us with reliable sources of energy and communication during disasters and power failures.  Licensed radio operators have been installing solar and wind power for decades at repeater sites to provide communication during power outages. 

Some of our staff are licensed radio operators and we hope that more people continue to take an interest in amateur radio communication.  With the introduction of Internet Radio Linking (IRP), communicating around the world and in remote villages in other countries is sparking younger interest.  We included a quick story to show how the general public can provide communications when cellular technology fails. Rescue

Scams, Fraud and Copycats:  As a consumer you will be confronted with many scams, fraud and other problems related to renewable energy.  Its a growing problem that we have started to take notice of and do our best to control.  We have experienced several copies of our company name and website both domestically and internationally.  We have even had people lie on their resume about working for our organization.  These kind of problems are handled quickly and efficiently but most realize copying dot coms is a bad idea and increases our traffic and business ten fold.  Usually legal action is never required because the advertising benefits are in our favor and immediately noticeable. 

As a consumer we have consulted on several projects that our clients have been scammed into.  We can only warn our clients to choose your investment wisely, do your research and work with reputable companies.  This is one of the reasons why we have no problems with showing ourselves on TV.  Their is a lot of imported and domestic products in renewable energy that will never work correctly and should be avoided.  For all our clients we take the necessary precautions to ensure the products we install are durable and reliable. 

Keep in mind that names, web addresses, incorporated dates, sales permits and many other pieces of company information can be found at your state comptrollers office as well as a simple whois google search.  In today's world you always need to check and see if you have entered the dot com, dot org, dot net or dot gov website.  Chances are if you find a similar business elsewhere, its a copy.  We expect the consumer to do his/her research before trusting a company or website and can provide any necessary information to show our credibility.  Its a shame that this type of activity exists in renewable energy but in today's business world unethical is common place.  We hope that people realize copies and scams do not grow long term business relationships with customers, hinder renewable energy growth and represents poor credibility in your company.
