Honestly the only reason I decided to go with My Smart House for my AC units was because of Matthew Hemp. From the very beginning, I was very honest with Matt on what my needs were and his communication stood out -- he was always quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and made sure I fully understood my options. He was one call away every time! He went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. It's rare to find someone who's so knowledgeable, professional, and personable all at once. Thanks to Matthew, I felt confident in my decision and completely satisfied with the end result. If you're looking into My Smart House, make sure to ask for him -- you won't be disappointed! read more

My Smart House - Solar Installation Near Me - Murrieta, California

The only positive thing that I can say about this company is that they have convincing and amicable salesmen. The solar panels that they installed don't produce enough power to offset the added monthly cost of the loan. They promised a cashback check as an incentive, and after multiple calls, it's still yet to arrive. It's almost a year late. They've promised dates and sent emails confirming the supposed check's arrival - but no such check has arrived. Furthermore, it hasn't been even a year since the panels went up - and one of them has already failed. I don't look forward to trying to schedule a maintenance date, given their squirreliness so far. I'll update this review should they make things right, but they haven't given me any reason to be optimistic so far. read more

These people fucked up a piece of wood from my addict and never got fixed. Luckily, we were able to find out almost a year later cause somebody went in there to check where the leak was coming from, but they never said anything which wouldn't be the first time they do something like this I tried calling them and nobody answers. I tried calling, and the phones are disconnected. read more

My Smart House - These are the owners very unprofessional - Solar Installation Near Me - Murrieta, California

Our experience with My Smart House has been beyond unacceptable. They installed our solar system 8 months ago, and it is STILL not activated. The panels have been sitting on our roof doing absolutely nothing while we continue paying full electric bills every month. Eight months of delays, no clear answers, and no firm activation date. Communication has been inconsistent and unprofessional. We've had to chase them for updates, and we still don't have resolution. To make matters worse, their installation caused a roof leak, which we only discovered when it rained. Now, instead of saving money with solar, we're dealing with potential water damage to our home because of their workmanship. At this point, we are filing formal complaints with the: * California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) * Better Business Bureau (BBB) * California Attorney General's Office If this situation is not resolved immediately -- including system activation and proper repair of the roof damage -- we are prepared to pursue legal action for breach of contract and property damage. Homeowners deserve transparency, accountability, and competent workmanship. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience with My Smart House. read more

My Smart House - Leak from our roof - Solar Installation Near Me - Murrieta, California

I have already wrote a part one. Bottom line is still no battery install since April 2025. Carl is a liar and a con artist. Sending me video of my solar panels/battery when the electric wasn't even hooked up. I have multiple text messages. They removed batteries in September promising to install correct system. They tell the bank they are waiting for electric company to do final improvement. I have pictures and text messages. read more

Talk about a corrupt business. They abandoned my solar project, they came mounted a few panels & battery and never came back to finish the job. DO NOT HIRE THIS PLACE, unless you want to get robbed. I'm only giving it a 1 star cause u cant leave zero. read more

We recently had a storm. Come to find out My Smart House left the roof unfinished and as a result the roof leaked water in our attice destroying the master bedroom ceiling. Surprisingly they responded and came out the next day to see the damage as a reult of their neglect and mismanagement. They finished the roof a day later but did not show up again as sched nor did they communicate anything to us until I called everyone and lett messages, b/c they wont answer any calls. read more

It's now been a year since the system has been fully operational. After permission to operate, it was discovered that the system was wired backwards and was reporting the production as usage. As before with their techs, they were on it coming over and over till it was right. While the management team has been a pain to work with; the techs at my smart house are awesome. I have not had any issues since then and the system is producing as it should according to the contract. Unfortunately, I still can't leave a positive review. The rebate check promised at install, and then later in July of 2025; is still absent. Also, after promising several times that they would fix the roof support that is under the current panels, they have not. These were the two incentives that made me sign with my smart house and they can't keep them. Also, why my system is performing as promised, the fact that the "educated guess" was made before I had A/C working, the production is not offsetting the use. Also, the placement of the panels close to a tree means that one of my panels is operating at one half of the average of the others. I guess I can remove the tree, but the tech's installed according to the main office plans and everything could have been shifted over so I could have kept the tree. read more

Just like many of the other reviews I can finally see (the yelp page was on lock down from the overload of bad reviews) we are in the same boat. Signed up in sept of 2025 promised 30-90 days. We PAID 36k CASH UP FRONT and still have no final inspection date. I've talked to over 8 different people whom have since "left" the company. Oscar. Matt. Tim (who sold us the solar) Ashleigh, Teresa and Julian and Carl "the owner" to name a few. I know Tim and Ashleigh left because they were never paid their wages. Oscar and Matt Perry are gone. Carl won't answer his phone even though he "promised" he would. I've driven from San Diego to their location in murrieta, went inside to only stand there and be stared at by the few workers they had left for 15 mins. Someone finally came up to me to only have me wait another 30 mins for "the right person" to talk to me. I've filed with the BBB I've contacted credit card company my next step is filing a law suit. It looks like we'll have to hire an outside party to finish the install and get us online. I have NEVER experienced something like this in my life. They try and say it's due with licensing (if they answer the phone) when come to find out their license has been suspended! It seems like they take money from one to finish the job of another. There is a special place in hell for this place and the people who are continuing to scam those of us trying to save money by switching to solar. read more

This was my second installation with My Smart House. First one went smoothly but the want enough solar for my needs. Went with them again. Took FOREVER to install and get it up and running. Still waiting on my $900 rebate. This place NEVER responds to emails or answer their phones. I'm shocked they are still in business. I'm hounding them until I get my rebate. I'm trying to be civil but am over the run arounds and lack of response. Terrible company. Don't recommend. At all. read more

I purchase solar system form My Smart House in 2021 . 2 of the solar panels and not working . Called My Smart House today to see when they can fix it .

I was promised a gift card of $400, which is on the contract. That was never received. Also, a discount and price was guaranteed and never delivered. It's been quiet a few months now and I've tried reaching out to Ben with no response. The people/company that installed the solar panels did great work and I've had no issues with them. It's My Smart House that has been an issue. Be careful with what you sign and agree to. My Smart House is suppose to be veteran owned and that was the main reason why I went with them. I have the contract/paper work signed that I can and will post on here soon. read more

Once you sig. Game Over. Terrible support system. Got sold panels and next thing you know the sales guy moved out different part of town. Not sure if he's lying or not but system has not been generating what you are being told it does. I'm just waiting for class action law suit to pan out. It's called the Disappearing Act. read more

Omg this is so funny, I'm going over the reviews and ABBY THE MANAGER from smart house ONLY has the time to reply to the good reviews, but not the bad reviews, what a joke. Well I'm not surprised. Probably they pay people to do that, since they service is extremely TO BAD. All I can advice if you want headaches go with this company, a bunch a liars. Ones they get the money they don't care about you if you call they never call back if you show up to they office they are to busy to help. We regret it so badly. Don't make the same mistakes we did. And Abby, Jessica or anyone who really cares for their costumers. if you read this I'm still waiting on my cash back $1000 dollars. Is been a year since I been waiting. and for you guys to send someone to properly install the panos to my roof, ones again thanks for IGNORING US. DONT USE THIS COMPANY !!!!! read more

We asked about adding more panels to lower our monthly bill, but My Smart House failed to disclose a critical detail: by adding panels, our solar contract would move from Tier 2 to Tier 3, which actually gives us less money back for the electricity we generate. Because of this, instead of saving money, we are now paying even more than before. On top of that, they promised multiple discounts and rebates -- including a battery rebate -- that we never received. We called several times to follow up, and eventually they just stopped answering our calls altogether. It's extremely frustrating to feel misled and ignored after spending so much money. A quick look at the BBB shows that many others have filed complaints against this company, and now we know why. I would strongly caution anyone considering My Smart House -- their promises sound good, but the reality is very different. read more

I wish I could give a zero rating or even negative rating. This company is a scammer. It's more than 8 months they haven't finished my solar. They rush to get the money, but after that they don't answer any phone or email. read more

WARNING: This company has closed down and fled, leaving customers with broken equipment! They installed my HVAC system last August, and by this June, the downstairs AC completely stopped working. Now, they have abandoned their office and vanished . No one answers the phone, leaving me with a broken system and a huge loan... read more

Garbage company, after they install they wont return emails or calls, alot of people complain about thos company. Beware!

They only deserve one because install was quick. 5 months, still no solar!!!! Excuse is permitting, so if you didn't obtain permission, how can you install and have financing company pay you!? We were very reluctant installing solar for this reason. Now I'm paying my full electric bill plus the installments on solar. Please keep away from these scammers. I'm stopping payments and hope to see them in court. read more

Warning, once you sign your papers and make your payments ALL COMMUNICATION STOPS. I had issues from day one.

I've been waiting to speak to a supervisor for weeks. This business is poorly run. Stay away. 1 and a half years and solar is not live. They were good 10 years ago. No longer. Time to get an attorney. read more

This company is very poorly mismanaged and does not treat people with respect. The Management never responds back and the business is literally shutting down as we speak. I would not be surprised if they are going out of business right now. read more

Walked off job, never completed the installation, left my roof open and unfinished. Did not file permits. Won't return calls. RUN RUN RUN read more

They never finished the job and damaged my roof. I am now in the process of suing them

i thought this was an honest company. Boy did I find out different. STAY AWAY. They jumped right on doing the job and completed quickly, which impressed me. Now in need an inspection to turn the system on. I have been waiting since early December for the inspection I was told it was in the works because of the holidays, then after the holidays it would be a week or two. Of course you can't get a live body when you call, only a call center in some other country. They call center said they would contact the service department and to hang on. After 30 minutes they never come back. The original guy, Matthew Hemp has been fired or layer off. He knows his customers are really mad, but even My Smart House will not talk to him. I customers like myself are talking of forming a class action suit, which Matthew knows about. so buyer beware. My advice, STAY AWAY FEOM THIS COMPANY!!! read more

I purchased an HVAC system from this company with the understanding that it included a QuietCool system and duct cleaning. The HVAC was installed, but the QuietCool and duct cleaning were never honored. I have been calling, leaving messages, and following up for 3-4 months and have gotten nowhere. I've been placed on hold repeatedly, told someone would call me back, and nothing ever happens. Once they got paid, the communication basically stopped. At this point, this feels like a bait-and-switch and honestly a scam. Promises were made in writing and verbally, but they are not being fulfilled. If you're considering this company, be very careful and make sure everything is completed before final payment -- because getting them to honor anything afterward seems impossible. I would not recommend this company based on my experience. Not only that they are changing their name to 4 Evar Homes to get away with whatever else they honored. This company is a scam!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY read more

This company is going under. They are still selling Solar Panals when they shouldn't be. They do not finish jobs. They are being investigated by the state contractors business license department. I have been trying to get a hold of them for months with no response. Do not buy from them. read more

I had my solar panels installed last summer. I still haven't had the panels pigeon proofed, pipes color matched/ painted, never integrated my existing solar to the ones they installed, and I have numerous tiles broken from the installation.

Don't use these guys! They did the worst job ever. They promised they'd get me the SGIP rebate and never applied for it. In fact they didn't even have a developer ID to even apply for the rebate. I've had 6 different project mangers and they still haven't finished the job over a year later. I've lost over $49k and still don't have a darn battery or panels. I'm ridiculously patient but have never been this mad about such terrible performance. They are thee WORST! If they did your panels, and you got a loan call the lender and complain. Ask them to freeze the funds. If it has been over a year ask them to Cancel the loan. You might get your debt cleared. Might. Worth a few phone calls though... If you want solar use a local small business. If you want batteries and SGIP rebates, use Sepra Solaris. They did my Tesla Powerwalls 2 years ago. Amazing company. Did ALL the paperwork for SGIP. Got me every penny they promised back. Super skilled electricians. Super fast install. read more

They will never give you the rebate you signed the contract for. They will never call you back. They will lie and say a different date every time you call. Every time you ask for a manager, they lie and say they are in a meeting. Im very scared that if something goes wrong with my solar that no one will ever fix it. From other reviews, seems like they just get the money from installing the solar and then forget about you. DONT SIGN WITH THEM. RUN! read more

I signed with them for a solar battery contract on June 16, 2025 in Hemet. They were quick to come to the house on July 12, 25 for initial installation of empty boxes and demanded payment of $16000 and had scheduled me a date to return to complete the work. But since then, they had ghosted me. I had talked to 4 different people including the owners : Theresa and Carl Vizzi but no vain. They had scheduled and rescheduled me 4 times but never showed up. I had filed a lawsuit against them in Menifee Court house, case # SCME2501065. Please join me to sue them. My email is mythao98@hotmail.com. Please be ware of this Company. They are liars and a professional thief. Please check with BBB , I read so many reviews like mine. read more

I'm leaving this honest review after months of frustration with My Smart House. The only reason I initially left a 5-star review was because they offered a $100 gift card as an incentive. But here's the truth: I had solar installed in February 2024 and was promised a $1,000 check as part of their sign-up deal. That payout has been pushed back again and again, first to June 2024, then August, then December. When I called in February 2025, Julian (who handles their finances) told me it would finally be June 2025. Well, it's June--and still nothing. No updates, no follow-through, and now radio silence. On top of that, I had a rude conversation with someone named Candy, who was dismissive and unhelpful. This is not how you treat customers who followed every step and have waited over a year in good faith. This company has been deceitful, constantly going back on their word, and I will now be filing formal complaints with the BBB, CSLB, CALSSA, and the FTC. If you're thinking of working with them... don't. They don't follow through and will leave you chasing them for what they promised. read more

Ethically out of order. They are actively not responding to clients , not completing projects. They have avoided finishing our project for many months, they disconnected our current solar ( from a different provider) causing us huge unexpected bills. The "loan" process is super shady, taking payments off of the property tax bill??? This is insane. Further, they have preyed on an eldery deaf man. This is financial elder abuse. They again today, failed to show up to complete the project. They are NOT accredited with BBB, and the BBB has given them a rating of "F". DONT WALK, RUN AWAY from these crooks. read more

Went here today to figure out why on earth we keep getting HIGH electric bills. Julian in the front then explains to us after looking at our account that our solar panels are "producing more than what your contract said it would"... ok fine and dandy. It's great that our solar panels are healthy, but the issue was that we don't have enough of them to power the needs of our household and we wanted to get more. After we made this clear, he stopped defending the product and went on to schedule a sales rep to go over pricing. Julian was cool I get he's only doing his job but Ericka P on the other hand... something else!! Let's rewind this to 2020... Ericka P was our sales rep. We were promised a brand new thermostat, a promo rebate check, and batteries for the system. After repeatedly calling them and getting the run around we gave up bc we weren't getting anywhere. They give you a military or veteran discount amd since the hubby is a veteran we got that discount applied. But where's our promised freebies, Ericka?!?! I don't usually give low stars (check my stats) but this right here is not ok. No bueno!! I hate when businesses make false promises! Makes you feel like as a Lil kid someone took your candy away. read more

Well, things just got worse for me. Apparently My Smart House was able to pull the second draw from the loan without finishing the job (which is illegal) and now I'm stuck with a 45k loan with nothing finished and of course there's no communication with them. They're absolute crooks as well as I am concerned. read more

My name is John Abram's, and I've never written a review like this before, but I feel compelled to warn others. A representative from this solar company named Carl Vizzi came to my home uninvited, and the experience was nothing short of terrifying. From the moment he stepped inside, something felt deeply off. His demeanor wasn't just unprofessional--it was unnerving. He had this intense, hollow stare and a presence that chilled the air around him. He spoke in a calm, almost rehearsed tone, but there was a strange edge to everything he said. When I hesitated to sign up, his words became subtly threatening--not overtly, but enough to make my stomach drop. Phrases like "it's best not to ignore opportunities like this" and "some people regret saying no to things that could have saved them" were delivered with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. At one point, I genuinely felt unsafe in my own home. I don't know how else to say it--there was a dark energy about him, something I can only describe as demonic. After he left, I had to sage the place and sleep with the lights on. I'm still shaken. If I could give negative stars, I would. I've dealt with pushy salespeople before, but nothing compares to the experience I had with this company--and specifically their so-called "representative," Carl Vizzi. He didn't just enter my home; he invaded it, like a dark cloud made of fine print and false promises. Carl came in slick-talking about energy savings, tax rebates, and "custom solutions," but every word out of his mouth felt like it was designed to hypnotize and mislead. He was hands-down the most skilled scam artist I've ever encountered. It was like watching a magician pull contracts out of thin air--except the only magic trick was how quickly my trust (and sanity) vanished. His energy? Demonic. I'm not exaggerating. The moment he stepped over the threshold, my dog hid under the bed, the lights flickered, and I swear my plants started wilting. Geniunley so strange, I'm actually terrified. Since he left, weird things have been happening around the house. Appliances going haywire. Doors creaking open. I can't prove anything... but my gut tells me Carl didn't just pitch a solar panel--he cursed the place. Avoid this company like your life depends on it. And if Carl Vizzi shows up at your door? Don't answer. Burn sage. Call a priest. Then leave town. read more

This company is the worst! I paid them to install solar panels, batteries and a heat pump last Sept 2025. I paid cash at the time and was expecting a tax rebate of several thousand dollars. They installed the solar panels and did not connect them to each other on my roof. Additionally they did not link the panels into my electric system. After more than a dozen calls and several promises to "be out for sure next week," They have yet to finish the job. I have checked and they never filed for permits with the city so no other companies will come out to finish the job. It remains undone and I am left without my money and with panels and batteries connected to nothing. I have no way to repair the situation because they never filed for permits to install anything and no other companies want to step in at this point since there are no permits. They have closed down their offices and appear to have no intention of ever finishing this job. I am filing complaints with the BBB, the state contractors licensing agency and the local and state attorneys offices. Furthermore, it appears that they have forged documents to take out a loan in my name to be paid for this job even though it was paid in full and I have my credit card bill to prove this. I will also file this as a criminal case. read more

I have had a G-4 system installed by this company and am very unhappy. They never get back to and there instalation is very unprofessional. They installed my panels on my roof and took them down three different times because they where needing more parts and at every turn they where asking for payment before the job was done. Don't get mislead by this company. They sold me equipment that I can't even use. I have had it installed for about one year and it took then over three months to complete and with three different installer. My equipment has never worked rite. I am so frustrated with this company. They pitch a good sale like we are all made in the US and state they are a veteran based company. I could go on but I think you get the picture. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY YOU WILL KICK YOUR SELL. PLEASE DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE BY GOING WITH . MY SMART HOME SOLAR. read more
