"It went very well. There was an initial issue due to an error by the original installer 19 years ago, but Wisler resolved the problem to our satisfaction. They are very professional and have a real desire to do the work well. This is the third time I have had them do plumbing work for me and I will always use them in the future."

"I would like to recommend Joshua Smith as a Tesla installer and overall electrician. He did a great job for my wife and I on the installation of our powerwall 3 and car chargers within our garages as well as trouble shooting some other electrical problems at our new home at Smith Mountain Lake. Additionally, he answers phone calls and shows up on time. Again, we highly recommend Joshua."
