Over the summer we engaged Whitney Electrical & Solar to install solar panels, a new hot water heater, heat pumps and smoke alarms for our home. This is a company that have respect for both their craft and their customers, and we couldn't be happier with the work that was done. All of the scheduled work was completely quickly and on time once dates were locked in, with the crew arriving on time. All of the staff were highly respectful, professional, and cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. We especially appreciated the time Simon (during initial discussions) and Phil (during and post-install

Ive dealt with Whitney Electrical & Solar twice now and both times it has been an excellent service experience. My first purchase was the design & install of solar panels (SolarEdge). The advice was sound and I quickly made my decision to go with Whitney. One year later I had purchased an electric vehicle and decided to add a home charging unit (Zappi). I didnt consider asking anyone else other than Whitney to install my Zappi. On both occasions the service was outstanding and the after-install clean-up amazing. Great people to do business with. I can highly recommed.

I highly recommend this friendly professional team, they gave us fantastic advice with our specialised lighting in our vehicle wrap room providing low power consumption modern lighting that provides and amazing amount of light. Phil and his team also installed a high quality solar system on our workshop roof 6 years ago, the installation was meticulous and the price competitive. The system has never faulted once and has more than cut our power bill in half. Nice to be able to support a local Tasmanian business
