Outstanding communication. We are delighted to be up and running with our solar!Posted on Josh LentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had quite a bit of work on our house in the past year and have had half a dozen contractors working on various projects. By far, Porter Electric was the easiest contractor to deal with and also the contractor that we had the most confidence in. The communication was great from the initial quote to the final approvals. The workmanship is top notch and we have had zero issues with the system. We are so happy with the results that we have reached out to them for another project.Posted on Gavin BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Porter Electrical taking care of our solar installation. Good price, excellent work, and a smooth process. We highly recommend them.Posted on Doris JurissonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Porter Electric was great to work with. I would use them again and have referred them to a friend. They communicated well, answered all our questions and handled all the paperwork and permitting. We have a historic house so worried about how the panels would look and they did a great job. They also had the best price per KWh.Posted on Mary LaRockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love my solar installation!! I have had 3 months this summer with my electric bill being $0. So far everything has been working perfectly! No problems or issues whatsoever. I’m very pleased with my system.Posted on Chris HebertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Porter to anyone, their expertise and attention to detail are top notch! They take the time to do things right and take pride in it and that's hard to find these days.Posted on peter vTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our solar system install was just completed and the crew did an amazing job. Both with the quality of work and the site clean up. Also, I asked many questions as the install was underway and they were all received and responded to in a timely and useful manner. Could not have asked for a more professional crew. This install was done in Chichester NH and I would highly recommend Porter Electric for any of your solar and electrical needs. Schedules were kept and completion was done on time as promised. The office staff at Porter was also very helpful and guided us thru the process from start to finish.Posted on Kyle PepinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, would recommend to friends and family!Posted on Bill GoldsworthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris Porter and his team at Porter Electric were excellent to work with. They worked with us to optimize a 10.2 kW system with 2 Enphase batteries for backup electricity. Outlaying a substantial initial investment, finding the right installer who is knowledgeable, and trusting the project would not run into unknown issues was a large concern for our family. From initial contact through the design and build process, Porter Electric exceeded our expectations. Communication was constant, thorough, and helped allay the concerns we may have had. Their work was efficient, and their crew was exceptionally clean with their work. They answered all of our questions and helped us understand everything about our system. After installation, we experienced a delay in meter installation through our electric supplier. However, Tara and the team of professionals at Porter Electric remained in contact with our electric supplier to keep our project moving forward. We are not only generating the power we use every day, but we are also returning to the grid the extra 30% we have been producing. We highly recommend Porter Electric for your solar and electrical needs.Posted on Raymond E. Leavitt JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
