Both Richie and Anth were great blokes. They kept us informed each day what was happening and they ensured we were happy with the progress each day. Always willing to answer questions either the wife or I had. They were always early and completed what was agreed upon that day. They went out of their way to ensure they worked around the busy household without creating too much disruption. Plus the dogs settled with them very quickly, so this made this alot easier for us and them. Cheers GuysVerified reviewerJob location: DH910 Insualted and plastered upstairs

My installation was 2 years ago. After a power cut the other night we noticed the inverter said "No AC power" and the system was not operating normally. I sent Dan a text on Saturday to ask him to give me a call this week when he got a moment, and he replied (on Saturday), said he would pop in on Monday (which he did), and he sorted it in 10 minutes, and didn't even charge me! I cannot see how you could ask for better service than that. The issue wasn't even a fault my the system they installed, but was caused by the power cut! I'm so pleased I chose Thrift for my solar system.Verified reviewerJob location: CB710 Living room kitchen bedroom
