Martin Loynd
Yay Blue Energy Electric to the rescue! We have had a terrible experience with the original installer of our solar panels and could not get them to return calls or provide service… Blue Energy immediately answered my call and knew exactly what was needed to fix the problem . Very professional and committed to Resolve issues. Gabi was most helpful and was able to answer all my concerns over the phone. The repair cost was reasonable. The work completed as promised.

I was really pleased with the job that Blue Energy Electric did for me on my solar panel installation repair. I had a really bad experience with the company that originally installed it and was worried that I would not be able to have the work covered by warranty without going back to them. Dave from Blue Energy Electric came and took a look and sorted out everything and he managed to do so under that same warranty without an extra charge to me. He was professional, friendly and efficient but most importantly completely honest and trustworthy, something I was not used to in previous dealings with the solar company that installed my solar system. I cannot give this company a higher recommendation. Job well done thank you!!!
