When faced with significant increases in future utility costs our church embarked on a two-pronged approach to reduce our utility bills. The first was to replace old HVAC systems. The second was to explore solar. Absolutely Electric was recommended to us by our HVAC contractor. We are very thankful they did. We talked with several solar contractors but were extremely impressed with Travis Nixon and Absolutely Electric. It was great to work with Travis and have someone who understood our technical questions and concerns. His technical knowledge and expertise was very refreshing to us (me as an electrical engineer and my co-volunteer in this project, a structural engineer). Travis addressed all my questions as I independently confirmed his solar production and cost models. His models are quite accurate and conservative. Our implemented design is producing more than the model prediction. He also addressed my co-volunteer’s structural engineering rail system wind loading questions and even incorporated his suggested staggered rail mount design to reduce wind loads on individual rafters. This is the mark of a true professional, adopting new and proven ideas to improve their products and services for their customers. We were also impressed with Earl Mohler, who coordinated the details of our solar project and kept us closely in the loop during the process. Our church solar system has been delivering as promised, along with the real savings in reduced energy costs.

In summary, we are very thankful we were introduced to Travis Nixon and Absolutely Electric. As further testament to our confidence and satisfaction with Absolutely Electric, both I and my co-volunteer went with Travis and Absolutely Electric for our own solar installations. Our personal satisfaction with Absolutely Electric also has resulted in several other families from our congregation contracting with them for their own solar installations.

We, at Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Santee, were looking for a reliable and honest solar company to work with in an effort to reduce our ever increasing electric bills.

We received bids and spoke with 4 companies, but ultimately went with Absolutely Electric and are extremely pleased with your work and the outcome.  Your knowledge of the product, ability to explain every step of the process involved and what to expect, your willingness to work with everyone and make sure we were happy sold us.

You laid out a most efficient lighting plan for the parish parking lots which made a tremendous difference in safety for our parishioners and guests.  In addition, we now have more light in the church, our halls, meeting rooms, offices and are spending less.

Travis Nixon and Earl Mohler, were very hands on throughout the project, took time to show us how to check our system to make sure everything was working, spot any problems (which we have not had) and worked with us and SDG&E to make sure we were in the correct billing rate.

You always responded to our queries promptly and never made us feel it was an imposition.  We are very happy with your work, the amount of electricity we’re saving and the money.

If we were to start this process over again, we would definitely go with Absolutely Electric!
