Solar & Geothermal Solutions for Lower Energy Costs
High utility bills can add up quickly. At Rabe Hardware, we help homeowners, businesses, and farms find renewable and high-efficiency solutions designed to reduce energy costs and provide long-term savings.
For more than two decades, we’ve helped customers make the most of solar and geothermal energy. Whether you’re looking to generate your own electricity with solar or efficiently heat and cool your property with geothermal, we’ll help you find a solution that fits your needs and budget.
As an Enertech Geothermal Dealer, we install efficient, dependable geothermal systems. Our solar systems feature VSUN Solar panels and SolarEdge inverters, designed for reliable electricity production. We can also help you explore available rebates, incentives, and financing options to make your investment more affordable.
Our goal is simple: help you find smarter ways to use energy and save money.
Plumbing, Electrical & Fireplace Work
The same dedicated crews that cover HVAC, solar, and geothermal work also take care of the rest of your house. Leaks, clogs, failing water heaters, and fixture swaps go directly to our expert plumbers. Meanwhile, panel upgrades, new electrical circuits, and automatic standby generator installations are handled by our skilled electricians. Every professional trade here carries official State of Iowa licensing, and our company is fully insured.
Fireplaces and stoves are a highly specialized trade of their own with us. We cover a wide range of wood, gas, and electric units, as well as versatile multi-fuel stoves. You can even view more than 25 of these fully operable displays burning at our Fireplace Showroom in Vinton.
Because all of these expert trades operate under a single roof, our own crews can easily coordinate and complete complex remodels that require a combination of gas lines, venting, and electrical wiring.
