This company installed solar panels on our home in August 2023 and that went fairly smoothly. The main issue is the very poor customer service we have received since then. One of our installed panels is clearly producing less than half the normal production starting back in late Oct 2023. The installation team came back to test the panel in Nov/Dec 2023 and confirmed it was faulty. At the request of the owner, Jason, I contacted Maria at the office to arrange for a replacement. in early January 2024. We are now approaching June 2024 and I have yet to see any progress. I have contacted Maria multiple times via email with same unhelpful response of working on it. I have been more than patient as we are approaching well over 6 months since I contacted this company about this issue. I finally even contacted the manufacturer of the panel for help but they told me I have to contact the installer. So at this point I'm stuck. Overall I think this company means well but the execution seems to be very poor and they seem to take on more projects they can really handle. Customer service for warranty service is extremely unprofessional and lacking. read more

This company is dishonest, untruthful and simply doesn't care about their customers. Maria the front desk clerk is so incredibly rude and unprofessional. I requested for her manager Athena to call me back and Athena never returned my call I had to call the office multiple times for a week before I could speak with Athena and after explaining my concerns it was obvious that Athena didn't care. 2015 I purchased solar panels for my home I paid $32,264.00 CASH I was told that Advanced Improvements would be sending me out a welcome package (never received). When I attempted to call and speak with the rep who sold me the solar panels I was told that he had passed. Out of respect I decided to not call back. I left a message to please call me but again I never received a call. I called in August 2022 because I wanted to have my panels checked to make sure that they are working properly and maybe add a few more panels if needed. I finally got someone to come last week and guess what the visit alone was $150 I was told that the ENPHASE INVERTER was not communicating with the solar panels therefore they could not provide me with the health of the panels. The technician that came out also shared with me that most if not all of the ENPHASE INVERTERS had a history of malfunctioning and that they have had to replace several of these. At first I wasn't really worried because my contract clearly states " 25 YEAR MANUFACTURES WARRANTY ON PARTS AND 25 YEAR WARRANTY ON LABOR" According to Athena (office manager) I am responsible to pay a sum of close to $700 to replace this ENPHASE INVERTER and have it installed. THIS IS CRAZY I also asked Athena to please have the owner call me back but I don't believe that she cares enough to forward my message. They are coming out next Friday to replace the ENPHASE INVERTER i will keep you guys posted. read more

Advanced Improvements - Contract - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Anaheim, California

Thank You Yelp Reviewers for leading us to Advanced Improvements! I was looking for a company to upgrade our Solar system. We had received an email from Enphase, the manufacturer of our solar panels, offering us a discounted rate to replace our 8 yr old solar panels with their latest model. As we did not want to use the same company that originally installed the panels, we were looking for a company that would work on a solar system installed by another company. I called Advanced Improvements and spoke with Anthony who assured us that was not a problem. Anthony looked at our panels and told us we should keep the panels we have as they are the best on the market! We then asked him about adding a few more panels to the system to completely wipe out our monthly electric bill. He assured us that was possible but suggested we try some simple conservation measures first to determine if more panels are actually needed and if so, how many. We agreed to wait 4-6 weeks and see if we could reduce the amount of electricity we use. We were so impressed with Anthony! He didn't try to sell us something we may not need and even talked us into waiting and trying his suggestions on saving power before deciding on adding solar panels! How often do you find a Sales Rep who puts the customer's needs ahead of company profit like that??? Since Advanced Improvements specializes in HVAC systems, we asked Anthony about replacing our furnace and AC unit. He was able to write us up a quote that was reasonable and we decided to have Advanced Improvements replace our HVAC before the heat of summer. Joe and another man (I'm sorry but I forget his name) were at our home bright and early this past Wednesday and quickly got to work removing our old furnace and AC unit. Since these units were original with the house from 1974, they were quite old! It didn't take long to remove the old units but there was a problem when it came to taking the new Bryant AC unit to our backyard! It was a bit wider than the gate to the backyard and the garage door into our house. Fortunately, they were able to squeeze it through our front door! They were so careful to not scratch the paint or the unit!! And afterwards, swept up the minor dirt both inside and outside, even in the driveway! I was so impressed with how thoughtful they were throughout the installation. The entire installation of the furnace and the AC unit took one full day and two hours on the second day. Joe explained that they typically finish in one day, as they would have two technicians on a job like this. But, the other technician was sick so he was doing both hookups himself and would need two days. We now have a brand spanking new HVAC system, along with a Honeywell P6 Thermostat that we can control with our phones and through Alexa! And, since the thermostat is a smart device, we are eligible for a $75 rebate on it! We are very happy with the service we received from Anthony, Joe and the team at Advanced Improvements! It was quick and professional, delivered in a friendly and efficient way! Anthony has been great throughout this entire process! He gave me his cell phone number and responds to texts very quickly, even on weekends! I would not hesitate to recommend Anthony and Advanced Improvements to our friends and family! In fact, I already have! By the way, we have already saved money using Anthony's suggestions for energy conservation! We will only have to add half of the number of panels we originally thought! Of course, Advanced Improvements will be doing that work for us also!! read more

Advanced Improvements installed my solar array 8 years ago and did a fantastic job. Fast forward to today and I needed a new roof due to mine being 26 years old. In a matter of 3 days my old tile roof was torn off and a new asphalt shingle roof was installed. Jose their roofer is awesome. Not only did he install a first rate roof, he also added a couple rain diverters as well. He even repaired my vinyl gate that the tear off guys accidentally broke. Maria kept me up to date with texts and calls regarding the material delivery, inspections, and completion. I am very happy I stayed with Advanced Improvements for my roof. read more

It's been almost 18 months since Advanced Improvements installed our new roof, 9+kWh solar array, and 4T HVAC system. This review is long overdue... Project was competitively priced, completed professionally & on-time, minor issues were addressed courteously and quickly, and everyone was a pleasure to work with. Very, very happy with the results! Roof looks great and have had zero issues thru several heavy rainstorms. Ridge vent keeps the house cooler. Solar is on-track to pay for itself in a few years. HVAC cools/warms the house so much better than the old system and uses less energy. Especially glad we decided to relocate the furnace & blower to the attic, freeing up the old closet as a pantry. Would absolutely hire again, should we ever relocate and have the need. read more

Had our solar panels installed over 6 years now. Installation and panel quality were great. However, cannot say the same for their customer services every time called in to request service. Most recently, technician cancelled for health related issues an hour before scheduled appointment on day of service. Understandably in current climate, but they never followed up that they said they would to reschedule. A week past, I had to call again. Representative Maria doesn't recall our conversation, so we're back to square one. She said soonest availability is another week to get any one out. Good luck getting your panels serviced through their custom service because you'll be needing them throughout the entire lifetime of the panels AFTER installation should you feel comfortable at the mercy of their whim. read more

I reached out to no less than 10 companies on Yelp with 4.5 star ratings and up and Anthony was the only one who responded to my list of questions thoroughly and quickly. I have wanted solar panels for many years so in preparation for this project I assembled a list of the most important questions that I wanted addressed from an installer and was shocked that every other company I contacted purposefully avoided providing clear answers. All I got was a "give us your phone number and we'll call to schedule a consultation." I am a busy woman, Yelp people! Ain't nobody got time for that. Anthony was professional and forthright and dare I say it, even downright likable the entire time. If you are considering going solar, contact him! Also ignore whatever this dumb map is on Yelp because it didn't show my neighborhood in the coverage area and Anthony says he has worked on projects in the South Bay before. So perhaps just send a message to confirm if he's in your neighborhood but don't let that area map image here fool you... read more

SOLAR: With so many solar companies out now and horror stories of people getting ripped off I was skeptical of who to go with. Was referred to Advanced Improvements by a friend who had solar installed by them. I spoke to Jason about my electric bill which is typically $300-$600 a month winter/summer. He seemed very truthful and told me about every solar option I could go with. It seemed informational rather than a sales pitch. He wasn't trying to steer me into only one option as all the others do. They also had great financing options if needed. After researching a few other companies I decided to go with Advanced Improvements mainly because they explained it all so well not to mention had the best price. I ended up with 51 micro inverter panels. Installation was very fast (week or so). They have their own crew, nothing subcontracted. My wife commented on how helpful and polite Joe was who ran the job. They used top quality name brand system components and it's all wired up to my internet for easy access from any phone/computer. See for yourself: https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/pv/public_systems/SNXZ353632 After you get installed you then have to deal with SCE getting Net Metering started. Advanced Improvements took care of it all and stayed on top of it. After a month I was on NEM. Now my bill will be almost zero. All in all, excellent service, system, and price. I highly recommend you at least talk to them if you are thinking of installing solar. read more

Advanced Improvements - My beautiful 51 panels. All installed on the back of the house. Cannot see it from the ground level. Perfect install job! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Anaheim, California

Advanced handled our full roof replacement and we were very pleased with the results. Anthony and his team had to coordinate with our solar contractor for removal and replacement of our panels and the end result was a beautiful integrated roof system. Their price was the lowest of three bids but the quality of the work and responsiveness of all involved were top notch. Cheers to Anthony and Advanced Improvements... I highly recommend him (and them) for your roof/solar project. read more

Had a new split unit installed one year ago. Had problems from day one, they came out twice to repair. Winter came and had no reason for air, heating worked fine. When summer came this year turned on air, did not work. Called installer and they were out of business. Called another company, maintenance person came out had it working, lasted a couple of weeks. Called Advanced Improvements, they found the problem, corrected it, and now I have a cool house. Highly recommend this company. Andrew did a fantastic job. Thank you Andrew. read more

Thanks to Anthony and Advanced Improvements I now have a new roof, solar electric and a new AC. I received 3 quotes for solar and a roof and they were under everyone's price including the AC?!?! Super happy! Not only do I pay next to nothing in electricity, but I have a new Air conditioner! How I survived without one only god knows. What I most appreciated was Anthony's availability. He answered every text quickly, courteously, and called me throughout the process Even though my work is all done, he has still been available to answer my questions about the solar and whatever. I have recommended Advanced Improvements to friends checking into solar power and will continue to do so. Thanks, everyone. A+ read more

I had some trouble finding a company that was willing to replace a flat roof, and some of the ones who were willing seemed to have no idea what they were talking about. I'm so glad I found Anthony and his team! They got the job done early and without much disruption for my tenants. They communicated with me by text and sent pictures because I do not live on the property. It was very refreshing to work with such a professional team. I will call them again when I am ready to add solar! read more

I generally do not write reviews, unless the service is deemed super stellar. I reached out to Advanced Improvements to diagnose the HVAC at my home and provide a quote on a new unit. What I most appreciated about Andrew was his honesty. Andrew did not push me to get a new HVAC, but instead helped to make small repairs on our current one. The option of getting a new HVAC is available, but he provided practical solutions before considering it. It is extremely difficult to find companies that are as honest and professional as Advanced Improvements. When we decide to get repairs or install a new HVAC, I will certainly be reaching out to them. read more

I wanted to wait a couple of months after my solar system was installed before a leaving my overall review of Advance improvements. First of all, I got quotes from all The larger big box solar company's and decided I wanted to use a local company with solid reviews from there clients. So I had them come out and there process was a lot more efficient then the larger stores. Well after signing and approving everything, my solar was up and running after a week! 51 panel system and top Of the notch product ( LG panel). I recently purchased a tesla and now have free gas!! Again overall the hardest part was probably waiting on Edison turning on The net Mettering. read more

Well knowledgeable team, received excellent service and received a quote I couldn't pass up. I love my solar panels, so satisfied I'm so glad I decided to have them installed. Thank you! read more

Thanks my roof is beautiful! Jason picked out a charcoal black that went perfectly with my home.

Advanced Improvements recently installed solar electricity on my home. I now have a 51 panel micro-inverter system that will virtually eliminate my SCE bill. The entire process went very smooth and moved along quickly. I could not be happier. They sell top rated products and install them with precision. It was a pleasure to work with a company who is honest and has integrity. I will recommend Advanced Improvements to all of my friends and family. read more

Advanced is simply the best. These guys have installed tank-less water heaters in my two homes, completed an energy efficient heating and AC system, recently installed solar system and a hot water circulation system for us. They even fixed my soft water system that somebody else installed because I didn't realize that they did this. Jason and his team are the best. On the rare occasion something needs attention they are right on it. Recommended to numerous friends and family members who are all satisfied customers as well. Cant say enough as to how good this company is. Highly recommend! Steve Pohl read more

With the rain this weekend, we were able to see where the leak is coming from, lots of water pouring down our master bedroom. We gave this company the opportunity to help us and fix the leak. I don't understand why would they install a solar system if the paper was not in good shape, however the paper is not the reason for the leak. I am supposed to have a twenty year warranty on installation, it's only been over three years since they installed the panels. I am no expert in roofs but they are. Very sad that I have to go through this, our home is very important to us but obviously not to Advanced Improvements. The passive aggressive responses to the review just shows how unprofessional they are. read more

Very happy with the work done on my house with Advanced Improvements. After getting almost a dozen quotes from various contractors and companies we ultimately went with AI for our new roof, revised HVAC system, and new solar system. These guys are some of the nicest people you'll meet, and never pressured us like some of the other companies did. They even did some free work in relocating an HVAC register that wasn't properly ventilating a bedroom a few months after our contract finished. Oh and they helped me run some internet and cable lines while they were running the HVAC ducts and electrical cables which was a huge help. An easy 5 stars for Anthony, Joe, Jason, Maria, and the other guys in their crew. It's been almost a year since they finished their work and I haven't needed them back since everything is working properly. But it's nice to know they're a local company and will be around for maintenance should it ever arise. read more

We used Advanced Improvements for our solar installation. We could not be happier with the level of honesty, integrity and workmanship that they brought to the job. The thousands of dollars we have saved on our electric bill reminds us every month that we made the right decision. Advanced Improvements not only has the best technicians, they were also the most competitively priced. I have recommended them to my neighbors who have also gone solar, and would recommend them to anyone. In a world where there are too many options, it's easy to get lost in yellow page listings and search results. But Advanced Improvements stands out as one of those businesses that exist to make customers happy and exceed expectations. I am happy to recommend them, and I can confidently say that I will be using them for all future installations and repairs at our home. Thank you Advanced Improvements... You guys are the best! read more

We had new air conditioner and furnace installed along with a ductless a/c with heat pump. Both systems work great. The installation went great, all the technicians were very professional and competent. What impressed me most was if they had any questions they would ask Joe the supervisor for help to make sure the install is proper. And Joe would constantly oversee all the work, he even went into the hot attic. They cleaned up afterwards and took the trash with them. If I had any questions they took the time to explain and ease any concerns. I would recommend using Advanced Improvements read more

When we decided to go solar, my wife and I did a great deal of research. We contacted numerous solar companies and made every attempt to make the most informative decision possible prior to going solar. Our experience with Advanced Improvements was unlike any other company we had contacted. Athena was very friendly, kind, and extremely helpful in getting this process going for us. We never once felt pressured in any way. Jason was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had all of our questions answered. We later met with Dave, who again was a delight to work with. He and Jason designed a system specific to our home, based on our needs. They even took into account what would be most aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately, we decided to go with Advanced Improvements, and it was by far one of the best decisions we have made for our family and our home. Each and every individual we worked with throughout the process took the time to answer our calls (and we called a lot!), or at least return our calls promptly. They took time to answer the many questions we had. They stood by their word from day one. When appointments were made, they arrived at the specific date and time that we had set. When they said our system would be installed by a specific date, they followed through with their word. These are qualities that are hard to find these days. We were equally as happy with the actual installation of our system. Ryan and his crew did a phenomenal job. Not only were they punctual, they were kind, friendly, and did amazing work. Their work was clean, neat, and very attentive to detail. True craftsmanship on their part. They worked hard, and always had a smile on their face. Again, when they said the system would be installed by a specific date, they stood by their word. After installation, we worked with Jason and John to finish the final inspection, install our envoy system, and to make sure we were completely satisfied with the finished product. We could not be happier. Going solar was a huge decision for our family. It can seem daunting, and confusing at times. We are so thankful we went with Advanced Improvements. They walked us through the entire process, and left no questions unanswered. We were so impressed with the quality of work, and the integrity each individual displayed that we came into contact with. Most importantly, our system has been working great, and it is a huge relief being able to have little or no electric bill! We would 100% recommend Advanced Improvements to anyone thinking about going solar. Knowing that they also do many more things aside from solar, we plan to come back to them for future projects. read more

We have had an incredibly positive experience with AI. We hired them to do our roof & are re-hiring them for solar. Anthony is great! The whole team was responsible, informative, & professional. read more

I initially went to them for a tankless water heater and they installed it flawlessly. After awhile I had some issues and they came out and found that the water heater needed some work, which they completed under warranty. At that time they suggested a filtration system because of the water in my community, which I had them install. Two years after the filter install, we were having the same issue of calcium in the water and they without any issue came out and added a water softener to my system. When Joe was doing the install he did above and beyond to make us happy. I can not say enough about the professionalism and customer service of Advanced. We are now looking at solar systems and expect to use advanced for that project as well. read more

Great guys, very prompt and did a great job. They did whole setup of new heater, air conditioning. Full solar panel setup and tankless water heater and helped with all paperwork needed. read more

I started the solar process at the end of Sept 2014. My solar was up and running in less than two months total. The install went flawlessly. The job couldn't be any cleaner. Just got my first monthly edison bill..... .96 cents!! Are you kidding me? Its awesome! Just produced over 30 kWh in one day (in feb!). Cant wait until the longer days to see what I produce..... Highly recommend these guys! read more

Called Advanced after our water heater started leaking. Dave is great at providing the right info and giving a reasonable quote. The installers were awesome and professional. I now have a tankless system that will last (hopefully) many years to come. read more

Anthony showed up at my house on time and I will say that was one of the most honest and open conversations I had with a contractor. We discussed the problem as I suggested what I thought was going on. He was very knowledgeable and advised me that was not the problem. He explained to me how to correct the issue myself. That's an honest contractor!! We ended up discussing solar panels and I am pleased to say that I was surprised at how much they could help me. He then told me he would follow up after my first couple of electric bills as I was a new homeowner in this area. Looking forward to working with Anthony and his crew because I am confident whatever I have done will be done at a fair and honest price. read more

We did our homework and received a few bids from different companies and decided install a new furnace, air conditioner and solar panels through Advanced Improvements. We relocated the furnace to the attic. That was the hard part. The solar was easy although they needed to relocate my panel box. Anthony our salesman was knowledgeable. Joe the AC guy was great. Panels went up in about a day. We are happy customers so far, highest recommendation! read more

Anthony came out & was very professional & patient in explaining the benefits of going solar. He gave me the pros & cons of replacing the roof at this time. No hard sales pitch , which was appreciated. read more

Anthony is great and professional! He is patient and helpful during the consulting visit. Ask him for the quote!

During the recent rainstorm I had a leak in my living room ceiling. Jason came out the following Monday and discovered the problem immediately. My roof fan had blown off and the rain was coming in through the hole! While on the roof, he did an inspection and found that I did not need any repairs. He replaced the fan, screwed it down and did not charge me! I can't tell you how much I appreciated his honesty. He said my roof should not need any repairs for at least another 5 years. I will definitely use their services in the future. read more

After considering going solar for some time, I decided to finally pull the trigger. A close friend and coworker had already installed solar at his house so I was able to witness the process and reward prior to installing on my own home. Advanced Improvements was the most top notch group of professionals I have dealt with in regards to home improvement. They kept me informed from the beginning to the end of the project. All work was completed in the time frame estimated and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will recommend Advanced Improvements to all my friends and neighbors that are considering solar. Great experience! Thanks guys. read more

This company is top notch. Jason is an expert in this field and seems to truly enjoy coming up with effective, modern solutions for his customers. All of his employees know their stuff and represent the company well. I've had them do everything from gas and electrical in a major remodel, replace air conditioners, install instant hot water systems, and add solar to my home. All work was done professionally after a thorough consultation. No surprises and great service/follow-up after the fact. I never hesitate recommending this company to family, friends, and associates. read more

Joe and the rest of the team at Advanced Improvements are always very easy to work with. We look forward to working with them in the future. read more

I decided to wait to give my final review after a few months have gone by, and here it is... I love solar! My system is functioning exactly as planned. My generation numbers are beating expectations... and my SCE bill is near zero. As we get into spring, I will start building SCE credits to be used for summer A/C use. Advanced Improvements delivered exactly what they said they would... Thank You!! read more

I am a very picky customer and searched various solar panel vendors. Advanced Improvement was the best price, but more than that, they were the most informative with excellent customer service. They installed LG panels with free monitoring. They took care of all the forms and submission required with the city. We used the HERO program to finance the panels, which is much better than leasing (PLEASE, if you are reading this, look more into HERO program). Advanced Improvements can help you through the application process as well. I worked closely with Dave and he was very prompt, courteous, and informative. He's not pushy with sales tactics either. Everything went smoothly from end to end. After signing the contract, the panels were installed and completed within 5 weeks!!! read more

Water heater was leaking. Call several plumbers for an estimate. By far, Advanced had the best price. Four hours later we had hot water thanks to installer Oscar. read more

Advanced Improvements installed our solar system about 5 years ago. We love having solar and have had tremendous savings so far. The monitoring also works great with an app that can be installed on a cell phone. The reason I am writing this review today (5 years later) is because we are again working with Advanced Improvements. Our roof has had extensive damage that was discovered during the latest rain. (The damage is not in any way related to the solar and is just normal wear and tear). Thankfully Advanced Improvements is a reputable company that has stood the test of time and is still around. A representative came over the next day and assessed the roof damage. They will be taking off panels from the affected area, fixing the roof and reinstalling the panels with all warranties staying intact. I am thankful that we chose this company to install our system. Today, 5 years later, they are still here and doing a great job! read more
