Trusted, vetted contractors
Supplying homeowners with referrals for high-quality service and installation is an integral part of how Energy Neighbour makes clean energy projects easier.
Our homeowners appreciate that they get excellent value, save time and avoid risk by getting a referral to an experienced and knowledgeable contractor.
We carefully vet every contractor we recommend to ensure they have the required experience and track record to deliver excellent installations and superior customer service.
Here are the criteria that all our contractors have to meet.
