Because of their complimentary inspection of both electric panels, Christian was able to identify an issue that could potentially be a problem. He explained the problem and process so that even I understood. He didn’t apply any pressure or push for the “hard sale”. Because of him, I signed up for the membership and will be using SALT for all my household needs going forward! He is a really great asset for SALT!!
