"we are amazed"

I Just don't know what to say.... we are amazed that you were able to accomplish in 3 days what the other company couldn't do in 1 year. You have all displayed a professional "team" ethic. We are truly impressed, and so are our friends.Michael, jeremiah, & Scott did a great job. They were very courteous & proficient. We appreciate the way they cleaned up & left no garbage behind.

Thank you - Gary and Janie Bradley


"outstanding employees"

Just wanted you to know that your solar installation team led by Joe Gordo completed the system install today and they did a FANTASTIC job. I was impressed by how much they did in so little time given the tough weather conditions (105 degrees in the shade) here in the high desert, their drive to provide the best possible install. The system looks great, and the neighbors seem to be coming out of the woodworks to check it out. I've already given out a few Acro Electric business cards to interested folks that Joe kindly left me. Again I'd just like to say you have two outstanding employees with these guys.

Thanks - Phil Saxton


"everything promised and then some"

My wife and I while driving heard a radio advertisement by ACRO Electric touting the benefits of installing a solar electric system. We called the phone number provided and were told we would receive a packet of information in the mail.The packet arrived in a timely manner under a cover letter provided by Steve Vella, the owner of ACRO Electric. My wife and I digested the information provided by Steve and gave him a call requesting more information.Steve visited our home in Oakdale, California, and provided answers to our many questions. No hard-sell or anything like that. It was, in fact, a pleasure listening to Steve's short tutorial in the use of solar energy and the savings we would realize..We were sold not only by the solar panel system but also by the services ACRO Electric stated would be performed on our behalf in acquiring a system and getting it up and running..The most important services were: (1) design of the system for sizing, (2) forms completion and submission for rebate purposes, (3) identification of assistance with financing resources, (4) purchase of all system components, and (5) installation.ACRO Electric did everything promised and then some; all in an exceptionally professional manner.. Now, one of our pleasures is to watch "the meter run backwards" when we are generating more electricity than we are using.

Thanks ACRO - Frank J Kaiser
