“"We got into solar as a lot of our clients were enquiring about it and have had numerous reports of their power bills going up",” he explained.
“And what better place to do it other than North Queensland? We have the best sun in the world, and there's an abundance of it,” said Jesse.
“Solar wasn’t really affordable a few years ago but prices have since dropped and with government incentives, it is much easier to afford it and we also provide finance options to help cash flow"
SpinFX also install solar batteries, that store energy generated by solar panels that can be used later, this in turn reduces electricity bills and can be used for a period of time if power goes out.
Solar is new to SpinFX, starting only six months ago, and before that, the company focused primarily on electrical and air conditioning.
SpinFX are experts in installing air conditioning units and adept at maintenance, electrical renovations and repairs.
Jesse said that they sell what they think is the best air-con, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, to help beat the humidity and heat here in North Queensland.
SpinFX cover a large area including Hinchinbrook Shire, Etheridge Shire, Croydon Shire, and the Shire of Carpentaria.
Jesse is a local guy, and he loves the Hinchinbrook Region, and when he first set up his business, it was important to him that all customers are completely satisfied with their work.
“We strive to make sure all of our customers are happy,” shared Jesse.
“We won't leave a site unless the customer's happy and I have based my business around that since it started.”
