In addition, they incorporated changes to my array that made it more convenient and cost effective. The crew was able to meet the timeline to complete the project in spite of inclement weather. They were efficient, knowledgeable, resourceful, and hard working. As worked progressed Ken found alternatives that were more cost effective and implemented them without a delay to the project. Throughout the project they kept us informed as to timelines and alternatives that could be included. Both Jez and Ken are to be commended for their outstanding communication skills. The materials used are state of the art including the most efficient panels and batteries. The finished product looks great and they left the site as clean as they found it. Because of the plan that Ken and Jez implemented, we can run our entire home all year on solar without an electric or gas bill. Needless to say, the entire project was a huge success. It is without question that we recommend SS for your solar project. B & B Thompson

Sadly, I've had to change my review. We've been working with IPG over multiple projects, the…read morebiggest one which is right around the corner. IPG had won the contracts for our electrical, roof, and septic for a cabin we're putting on ten acres. It's extremely time sensitive as the foundation is scheduled for July. For final approval of our loan, we need to get final estimates to our bank. This was discussed with Tyler within the last couple of weeks... now he's ghosted us! I have no idea why as he won't return calls, texts, or the note I left at the address given. Now we have to find new contractors and get their estimates to the bank. We are very much at risk for not getting the loan closed in time for the foundation and beginning of the build. Tyler knows that this project has been riddled with roadblocks, primarily due to another bad contractor. Tyler knows about the time constraints. Tyler has even visited a sample cabin with me and the general contractor heading the project. Tyler knows we spent this past winter in our RV and really don't want winter #2 in there. Our septic permit expires in August. Yet, Tyler has ghosted us. He was great, until he wasn't. We NEVER saw this coming. We're hurt, angry, and confused. There is NO excuse in a business relationship for ghosting a client. At a BARE MINIMUM, you place a phone call and make the client aware your unable to do it so they can make other plans. I can't in good conscious recommend IPG. If ghosting is an acceptable practice you run the risk of winding up in the same situation we are in. By the way, he's also ghosted the general contractor who was going to throw even more work Tyler's way. He doesn't have any idea why either. The hunt for new contractors is on and I recommend you avoid IPG. This ghosting has wiped the slate clean of the good work he's done. That good work means nothing if we don't get into this cabin before winter. Instead of helping, he's now hurt us badly for no apparent reason (at least none that i know since HE WON'T RETURN MY CALLS OR MESSAGES. This really sucks.

Bathroom floor heater circuit, (not the heater itself, tiling company). The staff is friendly, Jim has followed up personally to check the work afterwards on several of the jobs. This is who I recommend when someone needs an electrician.

Last year, AmeriWest was working on wiring an additional dwelling unit and basement remodel for us…read more During this time, the Electrician (who was an apprentice) and the Project Manager would show up randomly for short periods of time. The Electrician never worked longer on site than an hour or two and then would disappear for the rest of the day. This went on for about a month until they ghosted us. The job wasn't complete and numerous portions of the quoted work hadn't even been started. We had paid a deposit, but nothing more. After not being able to get in touch with Ameriwest (this will be a theme) to get them back out to finish the job, no response to phone calls or emails (later found out they had fired their Project Manager), we hired another electrician to start/finish everything for us. We learned that the Ameriwest Electrician had neglected most of what was listed on the work order. The new Electrician worked quickly and completed the job in one week's time, putting in full days. We paid them and scheduled an inspection. At the inspection, we learned that the Ameriwest Electrician had damaged the structural integrity of our floor joists and a load-bearing wall, drilling too many holes too close together. We failed the first inspection due to this and had to pay our contractor to replace/reinforce the lumber that had been damaged. After fixing, everything passed inspection. Months went by and then we began receiving bills for the full estimate from Ameriwest, as if they had completed the work. We could not reach Jim, the owner, or Ameriwest via phone or email, though emailed billing statements would arrive to us almost weekly. After having had enough, I sent an email reply to Ameriwest's admin email account stating that we would not be paying this bill unless it was adjusted to show the work that was actually completed by Ameriwest and that we needed to receive this by a specific date. We would consider no response to mean that our deposit covered things in full. Billing statements stopped coming...for about 2 months. As the billing emails began coming again in fall of 2024, still listing the full estimate as the total, we ignored them for a while. Then I emailed again stating the work hadn't been completed. The bills stopped until spring/summer of 2025, and then they started again. I called Ameriwest again and had my mind blown when someone actually answered the phone. I was quick to explain the situation and the receptionist was just as quick to pass my call on to Jim. Jim apologized and said that we shouldn't be billed if the work wasn't completed. He wanted to talk to me more and gave me a cellphone number to text him at. I was on a backpacking trip the following week, but texted Jim as soon as I returned. Only to receive, you guessed it, no response. But the bills stopped coming...until today. Today we received another emailed bill for the full cost of the estimate plus a $500 late fee and a threat to put a lien on our house if we didn't pay. I have once again emailed, called, and texted. No response. If you have electrical work that needs doing and you want a business that is professional, HAS customer service, and will complete the work in a timely fashion, RUN away from Ameriwest!

One was about 14 foot up and another two about 12 foot high. The rest could be reached with a step ladder. They charged $500. Seems excessive for the less than an hour and a half they spent. The quality of their work was great, they wore shoe coverings and vacuumed up their work areas. I was just dismayed by the amount they charged. (originally rated one star) They didn't simply unplug the old and plug in the new. They removed an adapter from the hard wired smoke detector and wired in a new plug. (less then 5 minutes per detector). I appreciated that they did the job right. Upgraded from one star to two, based solely on price.

It has been sitting in my garage for 3 months not hooked to the solar panels not storing energy.
