Worst experience I have ever had with a contractor.



Notice that one of the positive reviews is from the company email and two others are from the owners wife.



Bill Sloniker, the owner of Inland Northwest Electric, was the contractor used by Synergy Conservation to install my new 9 panel solar system. It took a week to do a one day job. Six rows of roof shingles on my new 40 year roof were torn and broken which he claimed was normal. Hundreds of roofing nails, construction debris, and cigaret butts were left on the roof and under the panels even after three rounds of "clean up". A two inch gap around the conduit into the crawl space was left. I came home to a dark house one evening after picking up my 10 year old son from soccer practice to find Bill and 3 other men working with one flashlight to get the power back on. I found more flashlights and my ten year old and I held flashlights, supplied tools, and searched for dropped items for 90 minutes before they got the power back on. When the panels did not produce power I was told the problem was on my end but a week later we found Bill had forgotten to install fuses in the disconnect box.



I pointed out to Bill that the lag bolts he brought with him to attach the rails to our roof that hold the panels would not make it through our SIPs (4 inch structural insulated panels), through our tongue and groove roof, and into the roof beams as they should. Bill assured me that they would use longer lag screws to insure they would reach into the roof beams.



Multiple times he assured me he would come fix any problems and I would wait all day but he was always a no show claiming he called when he never had and switching his phone to not accept messages. Synergy finally agreed to send a new crew to fix the problems created by Bill.



The new crew had to completely take apart Bill's installation, install eight rows of new shingles and rewire the entire project. (This crew has spent the past month fixing Bill's installations) it was found that the lag bolts he used only went into the foam of our SIPs and were striped and loose. They did not even reach or tongue and groove roof deck much less the roof beams as required by law to hold the rails and panels in place. He had lied to me assuring me they had obtained longer lag bolts that were embedded into the roof beams.



The panels and rails did not have ground lugs and the rails did not have a ground strap to grounded them together. It would not have mattered because he had only run the ground wire two feet into the conduit from the panel junction box and only three feet into the conduit from the breaker box to fool the inspector leaving 60 feet of the conduit run with no ground wire. At an elbow in the conduit he switched from awg 10 wire to awg 12 wire with no junction box as required by law.



This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with a contractor and feel totally violated. My wife fears for the safety of our house because of all the lies and scams and has moved all of her valuables to a safe location.

I had the guys from Inland Northwest Electric upgrade my electrical service that had caught fire. Bill came out within a hour and made it safe for my family. I took three bids and I was shocked at the price of a service change. Inland Northwest Electric was able to beat the other two contractor price and upgrade my service from 100amp to 200amp and take payments and being a single mother of three I was grateful and shocked by his kindness. thank Bill :) Great Work!!!!

Bill Sloniker the owner and his guys are the best of the best. They installed LED recessed lighting, a hole house surround sound, and mounted three flat screen T.V.s. with know damage to the wall and concealed all of the wiring. I would recommend them to anyone how is looking for a fair price that come with a quality install. THANKS GUYS

Outstanding customer service with attention to the customer and their tastes. I really am pleased with my new recessed lighting!

Inland Northwest Electric hands down where the fairest priced and very professional. A real pleasure to have help me with my electrical needs.
