As a phone shopper getting information about solar installation in Morris, IL. This is the first company to have someone answer the phone and explain the process to me. I have made a lot of dud calls prior to calling them. So, good job on that!!
If you want solar in Northern Illinois, don't look anywhere else. I work in the utility industry and have turned down more solar proposals than I can count over the past few years from other companies. I had read too many horror stories of fly-by-night installers, poor quality installations, and companies leaving their customers stranded that didn't make the investment worth the risk. That all changed when I met Norm and his team. Norm provided a straightforward proposal, was transparent (and honest) about the variables that would impact my pay back period, and assured me his installation team would provide a quality installation that met my expectations. His team did just that. The installers were professional, addressed my requests while on site, and knocked the install out in just 2 days. The back office team over communicated, kept me up to date on the project each week, and answered every question I had along the way. A few months in and the system is performing better than I anticipated and I couldn't be happier.
Wonderful experience! We needed more capacity, but also had a glitch in our existing system that had been installed by a company no longer in business. IRE took care of both, at a reasonable cost and with an minimum of fuss. Would recommend highly!
We had IRE install a solar system on our house in early 2024. We shopped around with different companies prior to choosing IRE and chose IRE as they were very open and honest with the process, pricing and expectations. I contacted other companies to get quotes and didn't get a great feeling that they were providing me with honest, fair quotes.Throughout the whole quoting, planning, installation and turn up phases of the project, IRE kept me informed of progress, assisted me with paperwork and set the expectations for the next phase. At no time during the process was I left wondering what was going on. I was always in the know.The installation was done within the timeframe that IRE projected and the quality of the installation was superb. I have to say that I am very particular about how my house looks and they made sure to properly place the solar panels in the most optimum location and made sure to not expose any conduit. The architecture of my house is such that almost all conduit is hidden from plain sight with only a short run of conduit on the back side of my house running to the switch box.After the system went live, I immediately started getting the benefits of net-metering exactly to the expectations set by IRE.I was so satisfied with IRE that I recommended my son contact them as well. My son and his wife are now in the process of getting solar installed on their house by IRE.I highly recommend IRE! And oh yeah, working with Norm is great!
We were stranded after Power Home Solar went Bankrupt. We had a Generac system that had problems. Norm talked with me and Eric has gotten our system humming finally 3 plus years after installing the system it is operating great and fully. I only wished had used them for the original install. These guys are terrific.Since April our bills were approximately 16.45 16.35 .74 cents and 37.00 These guys are great. Thanks for the excellent service.
