Report
We went with CMI for our residential solar array in 2019, and the entire experience was positive. Every employee was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and every snag along the way was handled quite well to our satisfaction (any project as large as a solar installation will have bumps in the road!) System is running strong with no issues to report after two years. Thank you!

Report
CMI installed our whole home generator that ran flawlessly for over 7 years. The moment it had a problem and failed in a tropical storm, Matt the technician was literally there within 2 hours and was kind and sympathetic to our problem. He diagnosed the problem, order the part promptly, cautioning that it might be delayed due to COVID (luckily it was not). They answered my messages even after hours on the weekend and are incredibly responsive.
Their work is great, their customer service impeccable - a combination which is hard to find in the contractor world. This is a family run small business with hardworking, honest folks and I recommend them to anyone!

They are always available to answer questions as well as explain for our understanding the solar energy lingo. Lauren's knowledge is comparable to none. I don't know what we would have done without her help. All the staff is always courteous and professional.

I have had CMI electric as our electrician for over 20 years now. They do reliable work, and they are polite, prompt and trustworthy. I was shocked to find any bad reviews on Google, because my experience with them has always been exceptional!
