Very Professional Solar Panel Installation

Kilts & Cables carried out the electrical installation for our Solar panels. David and Oscar were professional and great to deal with from start to finish. The job was carried out in a clean and professional way. David kept us in the loop throughout the project and was always available to answer questions and concerns. The final panel installation was very neatly done, with an eye for aesthetics. We highly recommend Kilts & Cables for your electrical work. Our job was completed on budget and ahead of time. The final safety inspection was passed without any issues. The team was very hard working and lovely to deal with.

Top-Notch Work & Transparent Pricing

We recently hired Kilts & Cables to complete an unfinished electrical project in our basement. When David came to the initial meeting, he was prompt and very professional. That evening, he sent us a quote for the job which was very thorough and his prices were exactly as discussed. When it came to the actual job, he arrived on the schedule we agreed on and he accommodated us when we had to make a last minute cancellation. His work is top notch and we are extremely happy with the finished work. We highly recommend Kilt and Cables and would definitely hire David and his team again.
