Ideal Solar and Electric is the IDEAL place for you to go for trustworthy, safe, reasonably priced electrical needs. Jeff was wonderful! As soon as you meet him, you know he is a man of integrity.

We had a sewage issue in our home which caused us to have to live in an RV for almost 5 months. Our home, being older, did not have enough power in the panel, sub panel, or receptacles to accommodate plugging in the RV. The weather at the time was in the 100's so the temperature in the RV was exceeding 120 degrees! We had to get it plugged in. Jeff and team replaced our panel, sub panel, installed the necessary outlets and since we were doing all this work, we had him rewire any unsafe wiring he found. He installed a new circuit and outlets to relieve the overloaded circuit that went to almost the whole house.

During the work they were communicative, stayed on budget, were reasonable with the change orders we added on the fly, and finished in a very acceptable amount of time. My family and I feel so much safer now that we know our electric is ok! Additionally, in a few years, once we replace our roof, we absolutely intend to have Ideal Solar install solar in our home. I know I can trust Jeff to be honest with me and sell me what I need, not over sell, not undersell, but provide the best benefit for solar to my family.

I can't recommend Ideal Solar enough for the fabulous job they did for us. Thank you Jeff, Josh and team!!

Jeff and Josh did great work installing a chandelier and canned light. I have very high ceilings and had a hard time finding someone to commit to this installation but Jeff took it on no problem. They were very friendly and professional and pricing seemed fair.

Ideal solar, did a great job on the generator transfer switch, so I can run the house when the power goes out.
Keeping the lights on, and the fridge cold. Great job.

Jeff is the man! I've been waiting to post this review for 2 years now here is why. I purchased solar from him and wanted to make sure his work would hold up. I purchased the Solar World American made brand system. Had a bit of problems with a limb damaging one of my solar panels. I called him and he referred me an arborist he works with, but he ordered the panel and within a week he had us at 100% operational.

Jeff kept me updated on his arrival time, diagnosed the problem in about ten minutes and had the repairs completed in less than a hour. Count me as very impressed.

I contacted ideal solar about 2 years ago and had a twenty panel solar installed. The estimate was very competitive with several different company's. I chose ideal because of the high ratings on the products they use. The installation went smoothly, and was on time.
I wanted to wait and find out how well the solar panels worked before reviewing. I'm happy to say my panels are preforming better than expected.

Jeff from Ideal Solar did a great job. He and Josh were always on time and always kept me informed on what was going on. Other than a delay because the City Of Brentwood taking their time it went smoothly. I had 44 panels put up with a new mounting system and it looks great. Jeff also did a few electrical jobs for me as well. He really takes pride in what he does. If you believe in great workmanship and supporting a small business owner then you should call Ideal Solar.
