We had a terrific experience going solar with Independent Power. As a first step, we used Energy Sage to help us meet and negotiate with three solar vendors in our area (Larimer Co., CO). Independent was the most responsive and cost-competitive of all the vendors we spoke with. Installation of our system was complicated, in part because we asked Independent to also include an EV Charger in our scope of work, and in part because we had to work w/ our local utility to upgrade our area's transformer, wiring, and breaker panel to accommodate these new systems before they could be activated. Independent's team was with us every step of the way, liaised w/ the utility so we didn't have to, and met every single one of our needs! Special shout outs to electricians Dave and PJ, project tech Jan (an incredible young Navajo woman who not only serve's Independent's clients but also is working to promote solar energy with American Indian nations across America), and our project manager, Kyle. Independent Power is a great company run with exceptional staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to go solar across the Front Range.
Josh with Independent Power was knowledgeable and very thorough in his work. He was friendly, professional, and shared with me, step by step, what the plan was for installing equipment and finishing the job, and what I could expect.I am very happy with the end result and how he managed it all.
From start to finish, working with Independent Power (IP) was an exceptional experience. After interviewing several solar companies, it became clear that IP stood out from the competition. Many companies function like general contractors (GCs), where the sales team sells you a system and then subs out the installation. With IP, you work with one dedicated team from start to finish, ensuring consistent communication and quality throughout the process.As a mechanical engineer by education—and admittedly a very detail-oriented client—I came with a lot of technical questions. The team at IP, from the sales representatives to the installation crew and support staff, always had informed and thoughtful answers. Their expertise was evident every step of the way.In terms of cost, most solar installations range from $2.75–$3.25 per watt installed before incentives, and IP’s pricing was right in line with the market. However, what sets them apart is their quality. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail far surpassed what I’ve heard from others’ experiences. We opted for QCells panels to support American manufacturing and paired them with Enphase inverters for their reliability and performance. It felt great to “go American” with this investment!The installation crew was phenomenal—professional, efficient, and friendly. A special shout-out to Jan, Dave, Rhys, Harrison, Lee, and the rest of the team (apologies if I missed anyone!) for making the process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Independent Power for anyone considering solar energy.
The heat zones in my home haven't been right for years and its just something that I thought was normal for a boiler system, cold in some rooms, hot in others. Dakota came to diagnose the problem and was so thorough and spent so much time explaining the system to me, and then diagnosed it perfectly! The price was fair as well.When the part came in, he made sure that I had heat before the first cold spell, and now the heat in all the rooms is so even. I am so happy with Independent and Dakota!
Great team! Everyone was very helpful and considerate of my home both inside and out. I especially appreciated a run-down of the exterior and interior electrical changes that Josh did. He also helped me out with some extra electrical accommodations that were specific to my home.
Outstanding work, very efficient and thorough. Did a great job pulling wire through a long run without putting more holes in my ceiling. I'd definitely recommend them.
I had my first semi annual check up and The service was excellent. The technician showed up on time, Ward booties into the house, did they thorough check of my furnace and provided verbal and written comments about the performance of my furnace. I highly recommend this company as well as the technician, Dakota.
I cannot recommend them Highly enough. The entire team from office staff to technicians was professional, and involved with trying to get my system going again after Xcel's meter upgrade. After Xcel replaced my meters, the inverters started throwing errors. I called Xcel and they claimed that the problem was with the solar system. I called IPS and they came out and checked and everything was OK with the system. Xcel came back and again claimed it was the solar system, so Rick Roser came out. checked it yet again, took pictures showing the issue was with the meter, explained to me what was going on and offered to make himself available for Xcel. Xcel claimed it could not be the meter, but eventually came out and replaced the meter.. Of course it turned out that it was the meter.
We had a great experience working with IPS to install our mini-splits/heat pump last month. First we engaged with Nick, who helped us decide on the scope of work that would best suit our needs. He is incredibly easy to work with and knowledgeable about rebates. We've always wanted mini-splits but didn't think they would be cost effective. Nick helped us figure out a plan including rebates that would make it financially viable to get mini-splits.Then we met with Josh the electrician who was also great. We've had a few other electricians come out to scope this work, and none have been remotely as friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to understand as Josh. He is an excellent communicator and I plan to work with him for future electrical projects.Our install was done by Josh, TJ, Ricky, and Dakota. The crew was great, worked efficiently, and were friendly. We plan to work with IPS for future projects.
From start to finish the team at Independent Power made the process of installing a mini-split in our new home a breeze. From the estimate, to explaining the tax credits and rebates, to the scheduling and to the final install the team was very professional and willing to answer all of our questions. A special call out to the install team of Josh, Marino and Rowens - they arrived on time and explained the install process and the operation of the mini-split. The installation was finished in one day. We are very pleased with end result and highly recommend Independent Power.
Love our new heat pumps! Kind and and professional team who understood our need for functionality and aesthetic.
Thanks to Kalelan, Rick, Tony, Josh and Kael, our heat pump installation went beautifully. They truly know heat pump technology and work harmoniously, are very personable, and clean up behind themselves really well. I'll vouch for them, anytime.Thanks to Nick, as well, for working with me to find the solution that fits our needs and walking through it all so well.
Josh was friendly and professional, and did a great job installing our EV charger. He explained everything clearly and left the garage very clean.I want to add that we also had some of our solar panels removed for a roof repair, and reinstalled. Jan and her team did a great job, and we are back online. We got the panels from IPS about 15 years ago, and they are still doing great.
I had Independent Power put in four Mitsubishi Mini-splits into my home. Out of 4 quotes I got, Independent power was the only company that would put ceiling cassettes in (a much better look that the wall cassettes in my opinion). They also came in at a more competitive cost with higher quality equipment than the 3 other companies I got bids from. In addition, the quality of their work was exceptional. Finally, they were a pleasure to work with. everyone I interacted with was extremely professional and very kind. I can't say enough good things about my experience. The only thing that could have made my purchase better would have been more competitive financing options. Independent power was lacking here compared to it's competitors. But if you have the cash on hand to get work done, Independent Power would be my first choice.
Josh, Kaelan, Marino and TJ from Independent Power installed a mini split heat pump system at my house in Boulder. They were efficient, installed everything neatly and professionally, figured out how to connect power with minimal impact or holes, and were friendly and polite. Highly recommend!
Independent Power Systems has installed two photovoltaic systems for me and just recently did an electrical service job unrelated to my PV system. I highly recommend them. They have been great to work with from start to finish. Well organized, excellent personnel during the planning stage as well as the installation. I have really liked every single person that worked on my jobs. They have also been impressively attentive for follow up issues involving monitoring, Internet connection etc.
I used Independent Power to install a solar system at my house. I talked to five different installers, and IP separated itself from the pack early. Avery (sales team) listened to what I was looking for and created a plan quickly and made sure to consider the overall aesthetics of the system as well. He answered all my questions truthfully and if he didn't know the answer, he didn't pretend. Instead he said he would research it and get back to me (he even included me within his research efforts to ensure I was satisfied). Ultimately, the design and price was in the sweet spot in terms of the quality of equipment I was looking for at a very competitive price. After our contract was signed, my project manager, Megan, quickly reached out to me and provided an expectation timeline. Megan was great! I had recently gone through some pains with other contractors, and because of this I told her I was going to pester her with questions as everything moved along. Never once did she seem frustrated and answered every single one of my questions quickly and kindly. On the day of installation a team of approximately eight came over and installed the system efficiently and cleanly (wish I could remember all of their names, but they were awesome!). I even made a mistake by not understanding that my EV charger install that was part of the project would require a hardwire instead of a NEMA outlet (IP installed a NEMA outlet at my direction). Once I realized my mistake, IP said no problem and came back over rectified the EV charger. I can't recommend IP enough and will certainly look to use them for all electrical projects moving forward.
I am a single mother of 2 and I just purchased a new home about 2 months ago and I have been having a lot of issues with our outlets in our kitchen tripping and I wasn't sure on what to do. I gave Independent Power a call and Daniel, their manager came same day to walk my house with me to see what was going on. He had his plug checker with him and a meter and he took apart each outlet and even went as far as spending about 45 minutes to an hour talking with me while looking over everything from the outlets to the kitchen to the breaker box outside. He finally found the issue was a loose wire inside the breaker spot and fixed it for me. He then spent the next 30 minutes putting everything back together for me and checking things to be sure and told me, "I was all taken care of and there was no charge for initial walk throughs/estimates."I had tears in my eyes after this and I know Daniel was a bit alarmed because he wasn't sure if he did something wrong or not, however it is hard being a first time homebuyer in the Boulder County area and it was overly pleasant working with someone who was both thorough and willing to not be paid for correcting the issue then and there. I gave Daniel a small hug and told him I would definitely be calling Independent Power in the Future. This company has an amazing worker on their hands and I am happy to know I have the reference.
Kaelan came to my home and installed a thermostat. He was very thorough, efficient, and courteous. My heater is back on and I am quite satisfied with his work. I give him and his company 5 stars..
I had a great experience with Independent Power. I was in the market for a new heat pump, and they were both knowledgeable and well priced compared to competitive bids. The installation team was extremely professional and executed a very clean install. I'd highly recommend the company and looking into a heat pump to lower your monthly electricity bill if you're still on electric baseboard heaters.
We contacted Independent Power to install a ceiling fan on a 14 foot vaulted ceiling with no attic access. We had initially contacted another electrician who came out, gave us an estimate, and told us that we would have to hire someone else to do drywall work. Josh and Merino came out for Independent Power and figured out a way to avoid doing any drywall work. They worked efficiently and when we got the bill, was significantly less than the estimate we received from the other electrician. In addition to working efficiently, they were friendly and gave helpful advice on other electrical issues. I would gladly contact them again to do other electrical work.
We had such a great experience with Independent Power, especially Josh and his team. They really took care of our unique project—the work was top notch, taking care to make sure aesthetics were taken into consideration and the inspection went through without a hitch. But above all, Josh and the team were kind, personable and generous with all our needs and questions.
Independent Power is great to work with. They just finished a whole house rewire with panel upgrade, lighting layout, all new outlets, fixtures and Solar on one of my projects in Longmont. Josh Trainer was my lead electrician and he was fantastic. They worked with me on this job from start to finish. I am really impressed with Josh's attention to detail and great on-site attitude. He had lots of great insight for my clients that helped through the process. I Can't wait to work with Independent Power again and Josh Trainer. Thanks again for all the great work!Kyle Cloud2Q HOMES
