Century Electric & Solar

Fantastic products and service! My home in rural Princeton, IA is prone to power outages, so I contacted Century Electric for a whole house generator. The process for selecting and installing the right generator can be a daunting task, but Aaron did an excellent job of walking me through the process, start to finish, and Kala was exceptional in scheduling and support. My Kohler generator is installed and just waiting to handle the load in the event of emergencies. I highly recommend Century Electric!

The whole process I was highly informed throughout and from start to finish was seamless. I used them because I got referred to them fine a friend. It also helped that there prices were extremely competitive to other solar companies out there.

In 2018, I attended the Home Show at QCCA and visited the Century Electric booth and others, to discuss solar panels. After reviewing my utility bills for the past year Aaron scheduled a home visit in mid Feb to explain his configuration to maximize the solar panel efficiency. My roof has an easterly and westerly exposure so it's less effective than a southern location. After the review, I accepted the 24 panel design with a down payment. The installation was scheduled for mid Mar, 2018, but Mother Nature was not cooperative. The panels were finally installed in mid Apr. As I eagerly awaited the various inspections, required after installation, the days turned into weeks. The system was finally activated on May 31st. The software program is amazing since it provides numerous reports including each panels data, as well as, daily, weekly, and month to date system performance. I anticipate that by the end of the first 12 month period of operation the system will have produced enough electricity to match my annual consumption. It was also nice to receive a Residential Energy Credit when filing my taxes. Century Electric also helped complete the paperwork for the State of Illinois. In addition, I would like to express my appreciation to Kelsea for all the assistance she provided during the and after the project.

Century Electric installed a 19.1k system on my property. They worked with me to get a system size I was comfortable with in size and price, which was the lowest bid of all the companies I talked to. Once all the paperwork and agreements with the power company were approved, Century had my equipment sitting in the yard ready to be installed. They did a good job of installing, never left a mess. They assisted with filling out the paperwork for Illinois SREC program. The system is running great, I love to see my meter running backwards. The system came online in October and has saved me hundreds of dollars on electricity compared to a year ago. A big thanks to all at Century Electric.

I had Century Electric and Solar install my solar system in spring of 2018. The system is almost a year old and has been 100% trouble free. They helped me with all of the interconnect agreements with my utility company. They also helped with applying for the government incentive paperwork. There is a lot more to going solar than just purchasing the equipment and having it installed. I am glad to have had them help me through the "maze" on this project. The system was installed on the roof of a barn on my farm, and I just love it. I have an app on my phone that will show me how much power is currently being generated. I can also have it show me power production by the week, the month, or the year. I have 60 panels up on the roof and love not getting a bill from the electric company. It is awesome to know that my whole farm and house is being powered and heated/cooled (geothermal system) by the sun. We have a 100% electric farm (no propane or natural gas). I can see a day that I might want to add more panels to this system as it seems we are moving to a more electric world, and might need more to power our future vehicles. When that happens, I will definitely have them do the work.
