"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ken at Ellison Electrical on a service panel upgrade for my electrical vehicle and completely rewired my new kitchen. Ken was incredibly patient, explaining every step of the process. He immediately understood the floor plan and installed everything to code. His attention to detail and knowledge was exceptional. The quality of his work is evident in every connection and fixture. The service panel upgrade was seamless, my kitchen looks amazing and now my home feels more secure and efficient. He was always punctual, respectful of my property. I highly recommend Ellison Electrical for any electrical project."

"Roberto Sanchez Solar System, I interviewed 4 solar panel companies and I chose NRG because Will was able to explain everything well. He answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. Friendly and honest, Will made the sales process very smooth and personable. Tiffany helped and coordinated the project to make sure everything goes well. She always got back to my emails and phone calls promptly. Installers completed the solar panels when I was at work. Came home and he solar panels were on the roof. Definitely a nice install and quality work was delivered. Lisa helped out with the financing on the HVAC. She was patient and I believe got me a lower amount that before. Solar edge app is great to use and straight forward. Highly recommended company thanks NRG. I am excited to use my new solar system!"

"Jeff was great to work with. He took the extra time to discuss questions we had while making sure our solar project was managed seamlessly from start to finish. Everything was planned for and taken care of, down to the small details where his crew took the time to color match the new electrical conduit on the roof as well as on the exterior wall of the house. The entire process was completed in a timely matter, from the initial planning stages, through permits, installation and inspections."

"I have to have my roof replaced of the 3 companies that came out Spartan was the only one who addressed the leak I was concerned about. The other companies were going to charge me a bunch of money and let it still leak. They were not going to address it until it was an issue and tell me it was not covered. Spartan was top notch start to finish. The guys working on the house were awesome as well as every one I worked with. I would highly recommend them."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Yes, going solar really saves money. In fact, according to some calculations, the average homeowner who switches from electric to solar power will save almost $2,000 a year on energy costs. While buying solar panels and switching to solar can be costly up front, the savings add up over time. If you can sell back extra energy or take advantage of tax incentives, your savings can be even higher.

Solar shingles and solar panels are not the same. While solar shingles use the same technology as traditional solar panels, they integrate with your existing roof. That means they are used to build your roof instead of simply resting on top of it. When comparing solar shingles and solar panels, it's helpful to know that solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing than solar roof panels. They also do better in harsh weather due to limited uplift from strong winds.

For most U.S. homeowners, switching to solar energy is an excellent investment. A properly sized solar array can significantly reduce your electric bill, saving money on utilities every month. Most homeowners enjoy savings that cover the cost of their solar systems within 12 years and then turn a profit. Additionally, federal and state tax incentives are available that help make solar an even better and more profitable investment.

Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use safe ladder practices. If you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.
