About Us
“Kurt Johnsen Energy Systems” is family owned and operated. We serve the areas in and around Gainesville, FL. We are solar contractors and building contractors. We believe solar power is our best alternative energy source here in Florida. We integrate solar with energy efficiency and green building practices in a whole house approach to cost effectively meet your energy needs and improve the healthfulness and attractiveness of your home.
Our Mission is
- to help our customers lower their energy use without sacrificing comfort or style.
- focus on the broader view and the longer term so that we might make better use of our resources.
- serving the customer’s best interests instead of maximizing profits (good for the customer and good for business)
We have always been dedicated to our clients' goals. Our expertise and putting the customer first has resulted in a long list of very satisfied customers.
I am a hands-on business owner personally managing the improvements to your home. My name is on the company because I take personal responsibility for (and pride in) all of our work.
Sincerely,
Kurt Johnsen
Our Services
We are State Certified Solar Contractors. Kurt Johnsen Energy Systems is not trying to be the largest solar contractor in Florida. We are just trying to be the best and most trusted contractor in the greater Gainesville, FL area.
We focus on the three areas of solar power, energy efficiency and green building because each one relies on at least one of the other two to be fully effective. Focusing on only one would not be in our customer’s best interest, and your best interest is our top priority. Doing business this way has resulted in a long list of satisfied customers who always call us first and recommend us to their friends and associates. Word of mouth has been our only advertisement in our previous 21 years of business.
