One was ridiculously high (this is our second install plus another at my mother-in-laws, sister-in-law's, and our son's, so we have a pretty good idea about costs and what increases that cost). Hitech was responsive, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and when they came out, there was an experienced electrician training a young journeyman electrician. They were both nice and made sure we were happy with the job. 18 months after intallation, my car started to send a message that it was sensing heat at the outlet and was turning off. When I called Hitec, they were very responsive and sent a tech out the next morning. He said they have not had any issues with the boxes, but he would check everything out. The only thing he found was that one of the four screws was not tight. He tightened it and told me that if I got a message again, to call them right back and they would send someone out to redo the work. We have not had any other issues. Their great reputation, immediate response and willingness to make sure the work is done right means we'll use them again for any future electrical work.

He confirmed things looked good and offered some helpful recommendations for safety and inspection approvals. He provided a lot of helpful feedback and insights that I will use as I finish some of the electrical updates I have planned.

I will surely pay them with referrals and any future I needs that is over my DIY abilities.

We had some outdoor fascia trim that had rotted in some places, and had peeling paint in others. The parts on the second floor were notably harder to get to. We ran into a busy time for First Choice Handyman, so it took a few weeks to get on their schedule. However, it was definitely worth waiting for. Presly and Darius arrived when scheduled, cut out the trim portions that needed replacement and replaced them, painted these new pieces and any sections needing some additional painting, and finished in less time than originally estimated. So, the final price ended a little less than quoted! Kelsey started handling scheduling and communications more recently, and her responsiveness has been fantastic. We recently had them out to do a multitude of smaller repairs, and they were quick, thorough, and efficient. Definitely a winner!

Despite some significant problems, I do appreciate that Cedar Creek Energy did help me install…read moresolar paneling on my roof. I also liked many of the staff. The challenges however were significant, and after some consideration, I think it's worth offering forewarning to potential customers. First, I encountered inaccurate/unreliable marketing information and poor contracting practices: I worked with Nate Pingel. He was very enthusiastic about touting Cedar Creek Energy as the best in the business, and assured me I would have an outstanding experience. He gave me a "bid" for my solar installation, and indicated that the price included the cost of a potential meter upgrade, which he shared that I might not need. He indicated that if it was not needed, then the price would be dropped by "over $2000". I believed him, and signed the contract without carefully checking whether it specified that I would receive a reduction in cost if the upgrade was not in fact needed. I then paid a $1000 required down payment, which was "non-refundable". Afterwards, I inquired, and was told that the meter upgrade was not needed. So I asked for the price reduction, and was then told that a mistake was somehow made, and the bid I was given did not include the cost of the upgrade. Nate did seem to be suggesting that since there was a "mistake", nothing could be done about the $2000+ promised reduction. I explained that I had been considering other contractors, and had relied on the accuracy of the bid when provided. Eventually we compromised, and the price was reduced by $1000. It was livable, but didn't leave me feeling great about the company's ethics. There were also some other incorrect statements. For instance, I expressed interest in a solar battery, both for emergency backup during outages, and to help power my home at night. Nate claimed that I was misunderstanding what the battery could do, and that it would only kick in during an outage, and wouldn't otherwise do anything for my home. I was surprised, but I assumed he must know more about solar technology than I do, and I believed him. It turns out now however, that the battery *does* in fact help power my home as needed, which in itself is great. But because I received inaccurate information from Nate, I didn't ask for a second battery, and would otherwise almost certainly have wanted one. Since I didn't find out the correct information until after the installation was complete, I will now have to separately add the battery, and didn't include the cost of it in my solar loan, so it will have to wait. I communicated next with my project manager. After the initial contracting issues, he assured me that he was committed to making sure that the rest of my installation went very well. I believed that he meant it (and still do). However, on the third of four days of work I went out of my home to my backyard to ask a few questions of the electrician. To my shock, I found the workers sitting and standing in a circle, drinking beers with one of my upstairs neighbors (on my property). It was incredibly awkward, and got me worried about safety, because of course the workers are sometimes operating on the roof. It was close to the end of the work day (I'd been told 8am-4:30pm, and it was a bit before 4:30pm), so my hope was that they were done climbing, and that did prove true. But there are still liability issues for me, as a homeowner, if workers are drinking alcohol on my property. It put me in a risky position, and was unexpectedly stressful during an already full week. It was definitely not what I wanted out of the installation, and I noted later after re-reviewing the contract that the contract does promise "workmenlike" performance. That is, I believe that Cedar Creek workers drinking alcohol on my property without my knowledge or permission, during the work hours the company had provided, was likely a breach of contract. I wrote to my project manager that night, and spoke verbally with the electrician the next morning. I was friendly, and initially hoped that my concerns were taken seriously. Last week, I wrote to my project manager again, raised the contractual obligations in question, and asked him to consider reducing the remaining cost in compensation. I did not ask for a specific amount, and it was mostly, for me -- about looking for some accountability. The project manager passed my request on to the company executives. Yesterday, the manager wrote back to me, and copied the company's CEO, Rob Appelhof. The response was certainly civil, but the content was troubling. Basically, he did seem to be relaying excuses. However, I'm editing this review to acknowledge that after I posted public reviews, I did receive outreach from Mr. Appelhof, who did apologize and provided a partial refund at around 7.5% of the total cost. I appreciate the gesture and will consider deleting critical reviews if warranty service is appropriate.
