We had Bristol Electronics install three heat pump systems for us in November of 2023. One system covers our bedroom. The other two systems cover the front side of our home.
We spoke with four different companies before deciding to go with Bristol Electronics. They weren’t the least expensive, however their reputation and presentation was, by far, the best out of all of the proposals we received.
The installation team did an excellent job. They professional, friendly were neat and tidy and left the job with nothing to be cleaned up afterwards.
We have saved money and we feel more comfortable. During our first winter, our heating bill went down by $200 – $300 per month while out electricity costs only went up by $100 per month…saving us $100 – $200 per month.
You would think you’d notice the units on the wall, but they really blend in. We don’t even notice they are there except that we are more comfortable with them than we were before them.
During our first summer, we sold the three window air conditioners we had been using. We can see out the windows and won’t have to put the a/c units in and out when the seasons change. The heat pumps have only needed to be on “low” to keep the temperatures comfortable. We noticed we can hear each other better and we don’t have to turn the television up to get over the loud air conditioners like we did before. These systems are so quite.
The heat pumps have provided more consistent heating and cooling than our old heating and cooling equipment. We are saving money, are more comfortable, can hear each other and can see out of our windows.

“It’s not just that we are using our heat pumps & solar system, it’s the fact that we are not contributing to the world’s craziness.
If everybody does this in their own back yard, we can all make a huge impact.”

We want to thank Dave and everyone at Bristol Electronics
for our new solar installation. It looks great on the roof. We had talked to
your installers at a job they were doing up the road from us. They were
extremely friendly and very willing to answer our questions. We had
been thinking of solar and our visit with them cinched it. Dave came out
to see our house, collect the information he needed, and explain how
everything would work. The installation was so fast. Just love watching
the arrow on the meter go the other way!
Thanks again,

Bristol Electronics is the best! They scheduled an on-site visit
within days of my call, had a price a week later and started work
a week after that. They were finished in a matter of days and
since I had a free standing array they even raked and seeded
the area around the panels. they get top marks in everything
and their customer service is beyond excellent. I highly
recommend them if you want the best job for the best price!

Recently, we had a small solar array installed on our garage by Bristol Electronics.
They were very helpful through all the phases of the installation process. It took
us quite some time to decide that solar energy was the way to go. They were very
patient with us as we asked lots of questions! Bristol Electronics always responded
promptly and with all the information we needed. Once we made the decision to
go solar, they made the process really easy and helped us choose an array that
fit both our electric and financial needs with the option to expand in the future. The
physical installation didn’t even take an entire day and we immediately had online
access to actually see our solar production! I couldn’t ask for an easier process.
And we know that our local installer is available any time we have further questions!
Thank you, Bristol Electronics!

“We looked into installing a solar system ten to twelve years ago.
I wish we had done it back then. The payback has been amazing.
Bristol Electronics is such a friendly company. The guys are
great, everyone is easy to work with and so professional.
When I build a new home in the future, I will definitely plan on
incorporating solar and using Bristol Electronics.”

From the initial query about solar panels for my house to installation and well beyond, the crew at Bristol Electronics has been professional, prompt and knowledgeable. They came over for a site evaluation, wrote up a proposal and sat with me going over each detail and answering my many questions. I never felt like I was being given the hard sell nor did they try to sell me more panels than were optimum. Having no prior knowledge about solar power, I was completely reliant on their honesty and expertise. They delivered on both fronts.
It has been 2 years since the panels were installed and I am very happy with my decision to go with Bristol Electronics.
Chris still happily answers my questions. I have used Bristol Electronics for other needs as well and I have never been less than 100% satisfied. If electronic needs are in your future, I would absolutely recommend Bristol Electronics. You’ll be glad you did.

It’s been a year now since Bristol Electronics installed those 20 beautiful solar panels on our barn roof. We could not be more pleased with the entire experience – from initially contacting you for a consult and estimate, to the easy and timely installation, to the performance of the panels, and to how they have changed the way we view the production and consumption of electricity. Without sounding too melodramatic about it, we are consistently impressed and amazed each sunny day to see how much electricity they produce – it’s a wonderful confluence of solar physics and human ingenuity. We love watching that electric meter spin backwards.
Over the course of the first year the output from our panels was over 95% of the estimated amount, and that was in spite of a cloudy, snowy winter. Yet, we accumulated enough credit with GMP that we took the next step and replaced our propane hot water heater with a super-efficient electric one. I never thought we would go back to an electric water heater.
Since our first involvement with Bristol Electronics eight years ago when we had our satellite TV service installed to now, we have love dealing with your company, whether it’s for a service call or something as sophisticated as the solar panel installation. Making a call to Bristol Electronics is like phoning a friend: someone always picks up the phone promptly, and responses are timely, friendly, and helpful. Your employees are all fi rst-rate and provide high-quality, friendly service. Thank you for being our friend and neighbor.

The Bristol Electronics people are very pleasant to work with.
We looked at rental vs. ownership and it became clear that ownership
was a better deal in the long run. The installation time was
very quick. We expect to pay off our loan in 10 years and then we’ll
have free electricity for the rest of our lives. Bristol Electronics is
very professional. The process was easy and we are very happy.

I was very impressed with the staff at Bristol Electronics. David came
to my home for the site check and was so honest and took the time
I needed to answer all of my questions. I have been very impressed
with the entire Bristol Electronics team. I could not be home during the
installation days, however I felt complete trust in the installation team
to do what was necessary without my guidance. I absolutely love not
having an electricity bill now.

We are so pleased with our electric solar panels that we want to tell everyone about our great experience! The wonderful team at Bristol Electronics installed the ground-mount array last fall. We had them put in our solar hot water system several years prior and had established a good working relationship with them. We already knew them to be reliable and quick to fi x any problems that arose.
We enjoy the idea of being a part of protecting the environment so when it came time to deciding on what type of solar panels to install for electricity, we contacted Bristol Electronics first, while also considering other companies and products as well. There’s a big world out there with a variety of choices and it was hard to know whose product was actually best for our needs. Finally in the end, we decided on choosing Bristol Electronics because of their reliability, best price, the best installment time frame and most efficient system using micro-inverters instead of the conventional less expensive string inverters.
The team provided very professional and pleasant service all the way from the planning stages to final clean-up. When we finally made the decision to “break ground”, they were exceptionally fast, professional and easy to work with. From start to finish, we were making electricity in about 2 weeks. Indeed, our yard looks better now than before they started! In the end, we are saving a lot of money on both our solar hot water and solar electric systems. Thank you Bristol Electronics for your excellent service in meeting our hopes and expectations!

Bristol Electronics makes it easy for you to go solar.
From the detailed, patient explanations, to the rebates, estimates
and permits, Bristol Electronics takes care of it all. I obtained several
quotes from various companies but it was Bristol Electronics who
ultimately won my business with their friendly, approachable attitude
and superior knowledge of the technology.
When I began this project
I was uneducated and apprehensive. Now I find myself encouraging
my friends and family to call Bristol Electronics for a free quote and
explanation because I truly believe in their product and company. They
are highly skilled and professional in every respect.
Stephen and his crew encouraged my children’s curiosity and made
learning fun for them. Little things like making handprints in the cement
of our solar system sparked talks about reducing your carbon footprint
and how everyone can help, even children. The whole experience could
not have been easier or better. Seeing the power meter run backwards
is just icing on the cake..

We decided to build a garage/shop and incorporate solar panels. Dave
from Bristol Electronics came out to advise us on our options and helped
us with the correct orientation and pitch of our roof. Their prices were
less expensive than the competition and for what I believe is a superior
product. The installation was quick with no problems. Bristol Electronics
is a locally owned and operated business that delivered great service
before, during, and even now almost a year later.
We have been producing more electricity than we can use since May
and banking the credit with the power company. We don’t anticipate
having to pay another electric bill. I highly recommend solar power and
using Bristol Electronics to install and service it.

“I had been wanting to do a solar installation and had started to gather
some equipment. Once I realized that micro inverters are the way to
go, I found out that the panels I had would not work with them. I had to
start looking around again. Then I realized that Bristol Electronics, the
company I’ve known all these years and trust with my electronic needs,
was also in the solar business. They came down and checked out the
new garage that I had built specifically to place solar panels on and
gave me a price that was comparable to installing it myself. In no time
at all, I was producing electricity and have not paid a power bill for the
last fifteen months.

Bristol Electronics installed our 20 panels quickly, efficiently, courteously, and just the way we wanted them. And our roof is a difficult one due to our post-and-beam construction. Nevertheless, the crew was friendly, informative, and just great people. Then even in the cloud cover, we began immediately to generate electricity! Furthermore, and most importantly for others deciding to install solar, the price was fair, competitive, and honest. If we had another home, I’d want them to put the solar panels on that one, too! We recommend solar and Bristol Electronics without reservation!
Lincoln Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics
Have you been thinking you want to go solar? Bristol Electronics is the place to call. Over a year ago we met with another company and were so frustrated by the whole process that we decided to forget all about solar power. But when we met Bristol Electronics staff at the Bristol Harvest Festival, they encouraged us to rethink it. We’re glad we did.
Everyone at Bristol Electronics is friendly, courteous, professional and efficient. They are patient with questions and concerns and they go beyond what they have to do. The price was fair, the installation was completed on schedule, and even the cables and wiring were neatly done! The design met our power needs, gave us the latest, most powerful panels available, and the panels are barely visible high up on our rooftops but they are up there working away – – – LOVE watching the meter go backwards!
We wanted to invest in our property, instead of the stock market; and even though it was early winter when the installation was complete, we began to see a reduction in our power bill right away. We are looking forward to this summer and having zero electric bills!
