*Generator*
Paddy handled the rewiring of the generator quickly and professionally. No issues.
*DB Board*
Paddy moved the DB board from the kitchen to the garage which came with many issues. He managed to find the faults and resolve them. I had to keep going back to Paddy with many subsequent issues - some he managed to fix such as a trip. Others are STILL not resolved. I will not be calling Paddy out again to try for the 3rd or 4th time on the same issues. As part of the job, Paddy was meant to close up a massive hole left by the DB in the kitchen and never returned to do so. I'm done chasing him.
*Solar*
This was the real heartbreak. The system paddy installed works fine but is NOT the system in any way that he initially quoted me on. Paddy asked for upfront payment before he would accept the job, but then proceeded to change everything from the Inverter to the battery to the pannels. In other words, he quoted me on stock that was not available, then when he offered other options and i took them, he never did a new quote - he just continued with the job. Paddy also plays with the truthfulness of issues such as when i queried if my new inverter was Deye, he confirmed. IT IS NOT a Deye, but rather came from, in Paddy's words, the same factory.
My honest opinion is that Paddy is a hard working and knowledgeable guy. He is however strapped for cashflow meaning he wants payments before the jobs are complete and stable and his after sales service is not good.
A summary statement from my work is that Paddy got the work done, mostly. He got the things I wanted, in part. And his team made a mess of the work area leaving tools, wiring and other parts of the building site dirty and unfinished.
I do not recommend using Paddy.
