West Copper was the sub on a Total Restoration project at my home. They had to remove/reinstall thirteen ceiling potlights, two fixtures, and two speakers as well as one outlet on our fireplace. The work was done well and in a timely fashion but one of the speaker grills was damaged in the process. When this was brought up, it took a little time to get it sorted out [sourcing was a challenge] but they never pushed back and were professional about it. This, even though they ended up having to order new speakers just to get a replacement grill. To me, this speaks highly of their integrity as a company as the speakers were not inexpensive. Would definitely use them again.

Shane who is employed with West Copper Electric was amazing in with installing a small chandelier in our bathroom that required squeezing through a small space in our roof , threading an extra line in the roof towards the light switch at the other end. Shane was not only accurate in where I wanted the chandelier but also was degilent in ensuring all of our panels were able to manage the load we have with the house. We will engage West Copper Electric again as we have other projects we would like done . Shane reflects all the values and principles for West Copper Electric that is posted in their site. Thank you . You have made my day with the install, and my husband happy for finding you.

Needed an electrician to complete a dishwasher installation. Called on a Friday and Ryan had someone at our house on Monday. The electrician (Joe) was very professional and did quality work.

Should I Get Battery Backup For My Solar?

When it comes to residential grid-tied solar installations (net metering) there are not many benefits to getting a battery backup system for your solar panel system. Because you are still connected to the grid you will always have power if you need it and your solar panels will be producing energy during the day that feeds into the grid to give you credits on your bill, we consider this a “virtual battery”.
