Many of Chandler’s "newer" neighborhoods are now reaching 20–30 years old, meaning homeowners are starting to face major home maintenance decisions. One of the biggest concerns? Aging roofs.

While concrete roof tiles themselves can last 50 years or more, the underlayment beneath them typically starts to fail after 25–30 years—leading to leaks, water intrusion, and costly repairs. Additionally, over time, tiles can crack, shift, or degrade, requiring spot replacements and ongoing maintenance. If you’re considering solar and your roof is near the end of its lifespan, it makes sense to bundle your solar and roof replacement together—saving money on labor, maximizing incentives, and ensuring your solar system isn’t installed on a roof that will need work soon.

Beyond roofing, many Chandler homeowners are also replacing original HVAC systems, water heaters, and outdated interior finishes. Solar energy, when paired with high-efficiency mechanical upgrades, can drastically reduce long-term operating costs, making home improvements more financially strategic.

With approximately 65.6% of homes being owner-occupied, there's a strong incentive for long-term investments like solar energy. Homeowners can enhance property values and enjoy sustained energy savings.

With a median home value of $469,800, Chandler is a prime suburban market for long-term investment. Its proximity to downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor Airport makes it one of the most desirable places to live in the Valley, and home values are expected to continue rising. As a Chandler resident, I understand firsthand the value of investing in energy-efficient home improvements, and solar is one of the best ways to increase property value while reducing long-term energy costs.
