Knowledgeable - good quality work – reliable - I don’t have to worry

Chris is very professional - very knowledgeable and certainly a well-qualified commercial electrician … and the quality of the work is very good.

They’re always on time, always here when they say they’ll be here. Plus they understand how my business works, they understand that some of this stuff is business-critical and quite urgent, so they don’t muck around.

They’re very reliable in that way. I don’t have to worry.

Steven Rafter, Branch Manager, St John Ambulance

We’ve only got to ask Solmet to do something and it happens

Chris has very good experience; his knowledge about commercial electrics and Level 2 ASP work is very substantial. He’s also very easy to deal with. I call or email and ask ‘Can he do this?’ and they just get the job done. And they do a really good job; they just make it happen as quickly as they can, which is terrific.

I don’t have to worry about it. That’s what I need to happen, I need to have people working for us that I can trust. We’ve only got to ask Solmet to do something and it happens. That’s very important.

Jim Russell, Purchasing Officer, LD Operations

Reliable and very efficient

We use Solmet as a smart metering contractor because they do the job and they do it well. Chris is reliable with good workmanship, and very efficient.

Lindsay Parker, Owner, GoSolar Newcastle

100% reliability, a good work ethic. His quality of work is second to none

As a level 2 Chris covers all the things I need. Most electricians normally can’t do what he can do.

I use him because when I first asked him to do a job he actually did it. In the past I’ve had a lot of tradesmen let me down but Chris actually completed the job for me.

You realise he has 100% reliability, a good work ethic. His quality of work is second to none; he won’t take a short cut and bodge something up, he’ll do it right.

So it’s the good quality work and the reliability, they’re the two key things from Chris. And he doesn’t overprice. So it makes my life easier; when tradesmen do their job right, it cuts my workload down.

Paul Weissel, Co-owner, New West Pty Ltd

They can do it all - lots of electricians can’t - that’s what I am paying for

They can do it all. Lots of electricians can’t do it all. They are accredited to the point where they can do just about all the work within the sheds and switchboard. What I’m paying for is their knowledge and depth of experience. They are sticklers for doing things right, but more often than not they know if there are easier ways of doing a particular job.

Chris (the owner) is very good that way. His team have pleasant disposition, are honest; take a pride in their work too.
