Exactly as described in the discussion with the estimator. The price was the best of the estimates. In addition to price, the reason I hired them was because of their experience and everything seemed very well organized. The process involved several steps in part because BGE was involved and inspections were needed but that was known from the start. In all, everything took about 3 months. I was impressed with the people that came and their planning and work were excellent.

They might do great work but I can't get them out here to do the work. Paid $200.00 up front about the 5th of Nov. They insisted they would be here in Nov and "everybody pays in advance". It is now Dec. 5th and I can't get them to give me a date for the service...even if it's weeks away. Of course, they never told me they were booked a month in advance.

CDS called me to check on the date and make me sure of the maintenance visit. The technician was on time, told me what he was there for and provided an explanation of his work when he finished. Very professional..

It worked out really well so were really pleased.

In all the categories that you said I think they did well, the price was well under other folks that had quoted for us. They were timely, polite, helpful, they were very good at what they did, asked a lot of the right questions.

Fantastic. They did very very well for us. We got it on sale and we did look around. There was a little bit of confusion as to when they were going to come out, but once that was settled they were great. Do not hesitate to use them. If they had a good price and a warranty to throw in as well go ahead and do that.

Fine, even though the location of our house on the lot and the location of basement windows forced creativity with the location of the generator.

The service was really nice! The workers stayed the whole day. They were sweet. 6 months later they came at no charge because our light fixtures were wobbling. They were nice, courteous and cleaned after themselves.

It was pretty good. They were a little slow getting things installed but other than that, they did quite well. The work was okay. It is acceptable/average.

They did fine and found that we did not have the problem we thought we did. They were able to solve the problem that way.
