Very happy. We live in an historic home, which means jumping through more hoops to get permits. Simpler was there every step of the way; with the building permits and electric meter replacement, too. Their installation crew was excellent -- and extremely courteous as well. Post sale, Simpler keeps an eye on every system they install, watching for outages or other issues (such as lost internet connection). Very reliable!
