I have been looking to go solar for about 2 years, dragging the family to home shows and researching solar itself. This past fall I decided to take the next step and get some companies out to let me know their thoughts on what solar would do for me. I had about 5 companies that I talked to from big out of state solar companies to local contractors. They all said the same thing use them, they would do the best job, no pressure to sign but if I sign in the next hour I get a discount. Then I was talking to a friend of mine who is an electrician himself and he suggested I contact Bruce at CT Electrical. Said he never worked with him but has heard nothing but good things. Let me tell you if you need a great electrical contractor contact Bruce at CT Electrical Services. When you call you speak to the owner. He and his crew are great. If he said he will be there at 9am expect him 5mintes early. He had a no nonsense approach. This is what he could do, this is when he could do it and this is what it would be. Everything about him just seemed to fit. If I had a problem he is 20 minutes up the road, not an 800 number to another state. We signed the contracts and he got started the following week as soon as the panels arrived. Through this whole process he kept me informed on everything from timing to permits to inspections, etc. Also asked where he and his crew could park (just very professional all around). When it came to putting the panels on the house he and his crew got the work done in 2 days working a little overtime to get it done before it snowed the next day. Then because of all the snow UI wouldn’t come out and do their inspection so the system could be turned on. Finally on March 13 the final inspection was done and the system was turned on. From 3/13/15 to 4/22/15 the system has produced 1.05 megawatt hours of electricity. That’s about 24.5 kilowatts a day, with 15 days of rain/snow in that time frame. I can not thank Bruce enough for the work he did and if someone is looking to install solar I would say look no further than CT Electrical Services. I guess when people from your own trade recommend you, you must be doing something right. He also set up the system so I can monitor it online and on my phone and that system also sends CT Electrical Services updates on the system so if something goes wrong they will probably have it fixed before I realize it was broke. FYI the price listed above is about the final price paid after state and federal rebates, but includes all costs. (Bruce also did not have any hidden fees) Get Connecticut working again hire local!
