★★★★★

“Smart switches throughout the house, including neutral retrofits in the old boxes. Everything works instantly with the app and the wall switches. Very knowledgeable.”

Nadia H., Block Island
★★★★★

“Had a Level 2 charger installed in the garage for our new EV. Clean conduit run, permit pulled, and they explained the load calculation so we didn't need a panel upgrade.”

Priya S., Block Island
★★★★★
