The installation in 2020 was well done. It has worked perfectly until yesterday. Funny, I got a call from Bland last week informing me they were gone. I checked my emphasis report and it seems something has gone away. Rather than a smooth curve of energy production, the power production report was highly erratic with a porcupine like of spikes showing high and low energy. read more

Literally the worst company I've ever dealt with in my entire life. I can say that confidently. Nothing but misrepresentation, headaches, stress, and in the end, subpar work. The owner and his son set the tone for this company and it's no surprise to see that they've gone out of business considering what I went through. You simply can't sustain when you're that bad and your customers know it. read more

Poor customer service. Now out of business do to poor construction practices and warranty issues.

I choose Bland to install a new air conditioning unit on a rental. The one being replaced worked but it was ond and I thought I would replace it off season to avoid having problems in the summer. The first morning they arrive three hours late. They continued to be late each day but usually 30 min to 1 hr. When they removed the old attic unit they didn't cover the carpet see attached photo. After installation the inspector caught that they hadn't adequately charged the new unit with refrigerant. I caught that they installed a drain line running uphill which would have been a problem. The first time it was used for cooling it didn't work. I called the 24 hour emergency line, they didn't answer the line and I was in Tennessee making it even more inconvenient. When I did contact them they came out and said the return existing duct was restricted which I told them I would fix it. Upon inspection I found virtually no restriction in the suspected area, the restriction was in their installation at the unit. See photo of sharp bend. Once again I just fixed it myself. A few weeks later it wouldn't work again this time they found a broken thermostat wire in the unit. It works now but it's only been a week so it's too early to know if it is going to continue. Fortunately I am a contractor and have the ability to fix problems myself instead of paying more money because of their poor installation. I didn't want to do it myself though and I didn't want to inconvenience my tenant as I have. I chose Bland because they installed my solar and did an outstanding job. I have since learned the company sold since then which may explain their change in performance. I definitely would not recommend Bland. read more

See all

I highly recommend Bland Company! I recently hired them for my mother to redo her roof and they did an amazing job from start to finish! When I spoke with them on the phone, communication was always easy and clear. Their guys are punctual and kind and respectful! They also do very clean work! I'm very impressed how this all turned out! On top of that, their prices are affordable! I will continue to use this business for future needs. They definitely took all the stress we had away due to my mother's aging leaking roof and now she's ready for the rainy season to start! Thank you again Bland Company for your wonderful service! read more

Terrible customer service. Won't return phone calls and or e-mails. Installation was fine but all attempts to get help with any kind of issue after installation was extremely frustrating. I would not recommend Bland. read more

I don't know how true this is. I heard they are closing permanently . There service after the sale hasn't been the best since they became employee owned read more

it would be no stars, but I had to choose one in order to post this reviewWe had planned to come to our house and install solar service which was about $45,000 just to get a $10,000 bill at the end of the year yeah I'm contacting an gonna sue. Do not go are nobody your returns your emails. They just take your money and run and now we're left with this $10,000 bill. I don't think so. They're gonna cover it one way or another read more

I spoke with a member from Bland company regarding my initial review. They assured me that what happened to me is not something that happens often, but I understand these things happen. Although they admit to falling short on my project, Bland took swift action to rectify the situation by reimbursing me for the repair costs and assured me that they will learn from this process to prevent future incidents. I really appreciate them reaching out to me and explaining their dedication to improving their processes as well as their commitment to customer satisfaction. Thank you, Chris, for addressing my concerns promptly and professionally. I wholeheartedly recommend Bland to anyone seeking reliable solar installation services and will consider them again for any roofing needs. read more

Attempted to call their main line (661) 836-3880. No one answers the phone and mailbox is full. They only respond text. Texted them a while back to troubleshoot my Enphase Gateway not communicating and schedule technician. Took them 1 week to respond on text and they said next availability is 1 month out for technician. I am a long time Bland solar customer. Pretty disappointed with the customer service. read more

Requested 3 microinverters to be replaced, test 5 panels, and correct the array setup. Original installer did not do this correctly. Everything was taken care of in two hours. In two days the swap testing of panels to be completed. Hopefully only two panels to be replaced. Microinverters were warranted. Great service, fast and efficient. Alex the technician was competent, his coordination woth Enphase on the phone to ID and reboot system was great. Greg H. read more

Excellent service and very prompt technician. Actually one of the Best is Edgar who was extremely knowledgeable & helpful in the maintenance of my A/C. Highly recommended! read more

I have tried multiple times trying to set an appointment with them. To add more panels just that they never called back or anything very poor customer service and bad communication I don't recommend them to any one. The only reason we have service with them is because it came with the house if I had a choice I would have gone with someone else ... read more

When no other solar company would assist me Bland did. Not only did they fix my issues but their prices were reasonable and lower than other quotes I got. I got 3 quotes prior to contacting Bland and then got told the company did not have time to help me. Called Bland and was able to get my issues fixed within a couple of weeks. Thank you Bland! read more

Love this place! The staff were great from start to the end. They are a perfect home grown business, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a roof or solar. We had our roof replaced and the crew was courteous and friendly. Roof replacement is a messy job, however they made sure to thoroughly clean up each day. Bland was not even my original solar company, that company went out of business. Bland stepped in with no problem. Price and value is top notch, they even painted the roof vents to match the roof, I've seen other roofs in my neighborhood that don't have that. Enough said, I recommend Bland 100 percent!! read more

I have been trying to contact Bland to have my solar panels cleaned since I have lifetime cleaning in my contract. First off, I cannot get a live person to answer the phone or call me back. There is a text messaging service Bland uses; however, when I told them I wanted my panels cleaned, they told me they do not offer that service anymore and to contact a few companies. I reiterated that have lifetime cleaning and they told me they would have to look into it and they would get back to me. Well Bland it has been two months and nobody has gotten back to me. I even text a picture of my contract showing I have lifetime cleaning and all I got was crickets back. Sounds like a breach of contract and not honoring my contract. read more

Bland did a minisplit install, and failed to adequately seal wall penetrations. On multiple occasions, Bland staff said they would come on a given day, then did not show up or provide advanced notice. They also didn't properly screw in air vents; two fell out and fortunately didn't hit anyone. read more

Rip off charge me to come out replaced a part that didn't need replacing lied about what was wrong. Said he had everything in the van but was too busy to fix problem that I had to reschedule and pay another service. Call to come out and fix my AC which was still another week out so you pay all the money and no A/C 110° weather, do not trust the company is out to Rob customers. That's all they'd rather make their money on 100 service calls and then actually fixing peoples problems called another company and they gave me a different diagnosis. they never even called me back to schedule an appointment. read more

I strongly recommend Bland Co. They installed solar with battery backup. They did the work at a fair price, within the estimate, and cheaper than all other companies who bid. They are a local company that has been around for a long time, they are responsive to calls for service, and they are fair. read more

What a joke. Called to get a quote for solar, reroof, and new a/c. Turns out I have to talk to 3 different people in order to accomplish a quote. I verified with whoever answered the phone, "So, I can't talk to just one sales person to get this quote?" ..."No, and only one of the departments is in right now "...she responded like she could not care less. Don't bother with these people. read more

This company installed solar on my brand new home, and we moved in in June company and all we want is to hook this equipment up to PG&E and no one will get back to us and help us to get this done. They have all the info we need and won't see this through. It is beyond frustrating to be brushed aside to new people and NO ONE calls you back. Since JUNE! Don't use Bland Solar. They will not help you complete your solar install!! read more

Zero stars for lack of customer service, lack of communication and failure to follow through on every aspect from purchase to the install which I am still fervently trying to accomplish. Wish I could just request a refund so I can purchase from a company with honesty & integrity. I'm definitely not going to buy from them for solar at my.in-laws home nor will I recommend them to anyone. Nothing but a huge headache. read more

For shame for shame Bland. I recommended Bland Service to my elderly mom who is 85 years old. They were prompt in sending George out who diagnosed the issue. He said the scheduler would call my mom on Friday. No call from the scheduler. I called and spoke to the scheduler and she said that George would call my mom in a few minutes which he did. He scheduled on a Monday at 1 pm. George did not call nor did he show up. 5 pm my sister called him and he said he would be out about 6pm. Again, he did not show. At 8 pm he called and said I can come at 9:30 at night! My elderly mom told him too late. She has now called a different air company. My husband and I had never had any issues with Bland company. We picked them since my hubby used to ride bikes with the owner. I am so disappointed in myself for recommending them to my mother. Never again! read more

I've used them for a few years now and always had a good experience but since I used them exclusively I didn't really have a point of comparison. This time, however, my issue happened after hours, replacing a thermostat things went wrong and a part on my a/c burned out causing the whole a/c to stop working, and you can only call to place appointments by phone with Bland so I placed an appointment for this morning with some one whose webpage let me schedule appointments to avoid delays incase Bland was busy when I called the next morning. I won't name the company (since they didn't actually do work to review) but they quoted me 90 dollars to come out, 300 for the thermostat re-install, plus the costs of labor and part replacement for the actual repair I needed. That seemed unreasonably high to me so I just waited for Bland, they were able to get out just as fast as the other company had quoted me, replaced the thermostat, found and fixed the issue, including replace multiple parts, walked me through what I likely did wrong, how to prevent it in the future, did lots of tests to make sure everything was working, showed me how to use my fancy new thermostat's more complex features, disposed of my old thermostat... and only charged me 285. And, as always, the guy was super chill with my yappy dog (I love him, but he is) and rambunctious daughter. Again, my wife and I have never had anything but positive experiences with Bland since we bought our first home a little over 5 years ago, but this was the first time I could quantify it, final cost was almost half what I was expecting after the other local companies quote. Cheaper, friendly, and I've yet to have any issue with our a/c system (that wasn't self inflicted) since their initial work when we first moved in and the pre-home purchase home inspector had suggested we get it serviced because it was struggling to cool. My lesson today was just wait to call Bland for after hour issues in the future. read more

Bland out the HVAC unit on my home in Wofford Heights. They did a great job clean work and when I had an issue Christmas Eve, the tech id worked with personally came out to fix the issue. Great company best HVAC people in the valley read more

Bland company installed my solar in 1/2015, almost 6.5 years, so far no hiccup. I think I got all my money back and from now on I can use my solar for free. Yesterday, 8/09/21, while running a cable in attic, I thought I did something wrong and 10/34 solar panels stopped reporting. I called Bland Solar department and Lauren quickly arranged Jeff C. to come to my home today to fix the problems. Jeff C. is a very professional tech. He immediately identified the problem and fixed it within few minutes. Thank you Bland Solar and all your professional workers. read more

Very Professional and Well Run Organization. They installed a 7kw solar system for my family with a generator.

My solar inverter bit the dust after 12 years. Bland was the only local company willing to come out and repair or replace it. The company that originally installed my system is located on the coast and was not available to do the repair. Thank you Matt. read more

We had Bland Solar install our Solar units. We are happy with the install of our solar panels from Bland Solar. We were told that they would monitor our Solar panel output, this is not true. For 3 months our Enphase IQ Gateway was disconnecting from our WIFI router, and we did not know. How we found out was we got an email from Enphase telling us that. Our issue is service after the fact. We called Bland Solar because we need the IQ Gateway moved closer to our WIFI router because the IQ Gateway keeps disconnecting from our router and the manufacture suggested we move the IQ Gateway closer to our router. We called and left a message with the service department asking for a quote to move the unit and why, along with our name and number. We got no reply. read more

Don't hire this company unless you want the service to be done half-assed and have to call back twice within the month of the first service, only to be charged each time because they didn't do their job correctly. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. We bought a new house that has solar on it and getting it activated has been a nightmare. I have had to call and follow up for the past 3 months and never get calls back to follow up. 3 months and I'm still trying to get it activated. They honestly do not care to even help get it set up with SCE. We were going to have more panels added but definitely will not be doing that after the way we have been treated and ignored. I have asked for a supervisor or owner to contact me as the solar salesman absolutely did not want to help me. I doubt I will get that call without having to call them again. Just wanted to give a heads up on how this company does not communicate after a purchase. read more

I was having problems with some of my residential solar components which resulted in my PG&E true up to increase in their favor when normally it is in my favor. Because of the equipment issues, the Bland Company came thru and made it right. I was only asking for a few months this last summer but Matt Juarez, the service manager, took the issue to the CEO and they are not only reimbursing me for the 2022 true up but are going back to the 2021 true up and reimbursing it as well. The system was installed four years and I've been exceptionally happy with it. Their willingness to make everything right is 'icing on the cake'. I would highly recommend Bland Solar for any residual solar installation. m read more

Our AC unit seemed to be working, but was not cooling the house. I called Bland this morning to get an appointment and initially the earliest they could see us was Thursday (today was Tuesday ) I was like ok, any chance we could get on a cancellation list? Amber was awesome she was able to work some magic and squeezed us in TODAY! Our technician Edgar arrived later this afternoon and was able to figure out our issue and fixed us up. We have cold air!! I know when things like this happen it's usually a few days or longer to get seen, because it is summer and they are busy. So for anyone reading this, I would hope great results like this for you, but don't be upset if it doesn't. I appreciate the great customer service, professional technician that we got today. Thank you so much and you can bet that I will send some referrals your way. read more

Bland Air Conditioning sold and installed our Mini Split a/c system four years ago. Today we were having trouble getting cool air from the system and a Tech from Bland came to service /repair it. After some time troubleshooting it the tech said there appears to be a leak in the low side of the system and it is sucking in air from somewhere. He said he couldnt continue today as he had elsewhere to go and the office would call to schedule an appointment. The woman soon called with a quote for $2,000 to find the leak and repair. There is only 15 feet of copper line running straight up the side of the house and poked thru the wall to the reciever box. Twenty dollars worth of copper line if they replaced it all completely. They installed the whole system 4 years ago for $2900 dollars. But the 6.00 dollar valve is covered by warranty if it ends up being that.....What a rip off price from these people--kick you while you're down! Don't do time and material anymore i guess--just throw out crazy prices if you need it bad enough I guess. read more

I've been waiting 6 months to get my solar done. After 5 months I finally got panels on my roof but they are not turned on yet! Every time I call them they tell me it's going to be another week. If you need work done fast don't go to Bland solar. Everyone I talk to on the phone is very polite but I'm pissed at how long I've been waiting! read more

Thank you Bland Solar and Air. Our system is up and running. Mr. Bland you have an awesome team from Danny our salesman, Lindsy project coordinator, Lalo and his crew for the installation, and the others that I didn't get their names, all the way to Eddie for setting up the Wifi and showing me how the system works. Great company, with outstanding employees. read more

I had a hard time finding someone to cover my moms mountain home since it's so far from the bigger cities. I got a hold of bland and I an so pleased and happy that I did. They were professional, reliable, friendly, and won't rip you off. The technician was so good and now we have a good working a/c unit. Thank you so much!! We will always refer you guys! read more

Once they get your business, they leave u in the dust. I had issues with the solar and they never answer your call back , even to the point of blocking your phone calls . read more

Buyer Beware! I purchased a air conditioner from Bland. Twice I have had them come out to due to issues that were under warranty. This last time they came out they informed me there would be a travel charge of $175 to come trouble shoot my unit. The part was under warranty but I was charged shipping for the warranty part. The part arrived, but for them to install, it would be another $175 travel fee. They came and installed the part, then realized another part was bad. I had to pay shipping on this part also that was in warranty and another travel fee for them to come out and install that part. I live less than 40 miles from Bland. I currently have a $700 bill to fix a warranty issue. If you live outside of Bakersfield, I would highly recommend you buying elsewhere. read more

Our experience with the bland solar company we chose for our 6 properties was less than satisfactory. We were only able to get a response from the owner or sales consultant Jesse in the first 6 months if we mentioned a new installation - and even then, there was no communication happen from them afterward. To top it off, at the end of the year we got surprise big bills from PG&E due to the poor functioning of the solar panels, as well as not receiving enough energy output from some of the properties. We made multiple attempts to contact the company via email, call and text several times a week in the last 6 months without getting any kind of response back. Overall, we cannot recommend this company in good faith. read more
