I was motivated to write a positive review about my experience with Creative Energy (CE) after…read morepurchasing a Hot Springs hot tub and a Lopi fireplace insert. Looking back on the entire process, I found the level of service and value added by their entire team to be truly impressive. Cole and Will in sales were both great to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right products. Behind them is an equally impressive team: Doris and Cara handled sales coordination, invoicing, billing, and scheduling with precision and professionalism, while Alex and Omar did a fantastic job with site surveys, delivery, installation, and service. Every step of the process was handled smoothly and confidently. I felt listened to, respected, and treated fairly. What really sets Creative Energy apart is their culture. Despite having multiple stores across the bay area, they operate with the feel of a family business. Not only did they take great care of me, but they also went out of their way to help other members of my family. This left me feeling special and a part of Creative Energy "family." My first impression was that their policies and procedures were a bit strict but after going through multiple transactions, it became clear that their structure and organization allow them to deliver such a consistently high level of service and execution. Another big plus was how well their multiple locations work together. If one store doesn't have what you need, they seamlessly work with other locations to get it for you. I also have found their staff to be knowledgeable and happy to answer questions and follow-up on after the sale issues. They also have a very handy text service that lets you communicate with text messages or voicemail. Finally, after doing my research and going through several purchases with them, I found their pricing to be very fair considering the level of service and value provided. If you are in the market for a high-quality hot tub or fireplace insert, I highly recommend that you consider Creative Energy. It is not only the great products they sell but also but the quality of what you find "under the hood" with their sales and service teams.

We recently bought a new Caldera spa from this company and had a fantastic experience throughout…read morethe entire process. The showroom may not be the newest or flashiest, but that ended up being a benefit -- they have a wide variety of models available to see in person and can source nearly any option you might want. What impressed us most was the level of knowledge and attention we received. Jim and his team clearly understand these products extremely well and focused on helping us choose the best spa for our family instead of simply pushing a sale. Their pricing was very reasonable, but the biggest value came from the service and support they provide. Before delivery, Jim personally visited our home twice to review the setup area and ensure everything was prepared properly. He was also involved during delivery and installation, and everything went according to plan. They spent time walking us through the spa features and explaining maintenance as well, which was especially useful since owning a hot tub involves more upkeep than I had remembered. Our spa was only recently installed, so I can't comment on long-term service yet, but based on everything we've experienced so far, I'm confident they'll continue taking great care of their customers. I'm really glad we chose not to take the Costco route (and that's coming from someone who shops there often). Buying a spa turned out to be a more involved decision than I initially expected, and having experienced professionals helping along the way made the process much easier.

This is a remarkable company that has been in business for decades, run by a father and son team…read more Father Jim does the sales and runs the showroom while son James does the field/service work. They have vast and detailed knowledge and experience in the field, and are amazingly ethical and honest with their information, happily explaining everything and answering any questions with complete candor. Absolutely no effort to upsell, in fact their emphasis is on saving the customer money while making sure they get the product that's right for them and passing along useful knowledge that would be known only to insiders. Anyone would be crazy to use any other source for spa purchase or service. I just had James replace the original pump and do other supplemental service and repair on a 15 year-old hot tub I bought from someone else long before I learned of this company. I was amazed--the whole experience turned out to be a real pleasure because of the quality of the work, his great attitude and easy-going nature, the speed of both scheduling and performing the work, and the very reasonable cost. He went out of his way to answer all of my many questions in detail, and with a smile. I simply can't recommend this rare company highly enough. It's the way all such companies should be run and so few are.

It disappoints me to leave a negative review for anyone, especially one that operates as a solo…read morecontractor, but I feel strongly that it is important to be honest and warn anyone considering Robert's services. Initially, Robert seemed trustworthy and thorough, spending several hours looking into our hot tub and locating the problems. He informed us of the parts and steps we needed to take to hopefully repair our hot tub. He requested payment upfront for these parts and his services, which we provided. This is where he became unreliable in his performance, communication, and attendance. He reported the parts were arriving later than he had initially expected. Then the day before he was supposed to bring the parts once received, he reported he fell and could not come fix the hot tub. We rescheduled and on the new date he was due to come, he said his car broke down and he would have to delay the repairs again. Eventually, he did come out and after tinkering at the tub again, reported that we still needed one more part and that we would have to pay for it before proceeding. We realized he was requesting payment for a part he said he already ordered weeks prior, and so we requested copies of the invoices for the parts we had already paid for. He said he had to go home and get the invoices, after which we never heard from him again despite multiple messages and phone calls. We are extremely disappointed by this experience and unscrupulous nature beheld by Robert. Please think twice before considering services from this deceitful individual.
