SENERGY is the best !! The Project Manager (James) is extremely responsive, is very honest and candid about everything !! You can count on him to provide a accurate assesment. We bought our first home in 2010. Its not the best of homes, but it fit our budget. We have a few single pain windows and I noticed that we were paying quite a bit for our heating and cooling so I decided to have our house checked. Senergy came out to our residence and performed the evaluation in just a 2 hours. We recieved a detail report explaining what areas needed improvement. James also gave me additional information on the current rebates offered by PGE. What a savings !! We qualified for 5k worth of rebates so the Home Efficiency Upgrades we paid for were practically free. i highly recommend SEnergy to analyze your home, identify problems and provide any recommendations to make your home more efficient and save you $$$ read more

Be careful! James Ramos is a scammer. He did not pay his subcontractors who are threatening to put a lien on my house and he did not pay one of his employees, Mike, who sadly has been working for free, poor guy. On top of that he promised a rebate that still has never come and I was told that it would be for less than promised anyways. Now he wont answer any calls and seems to have disappeared. STAY AWAY!!! read more

Update: The company contacted me the day after this review was posted. They apologized after the fact when I mentioned we are not interested in their business and said it was due to lack of staffing. I shouldn't have had to complain or take business away to receive the apology, however, and it does not excuse taking so long to hear back from them and to ignore our questions. read more

BEWARE!!!! Highly unprofessional. James took our initial deposit and then disappeared without arranging for rest of the work. He did not answer his phone calls or return emails. I contacted the subcontractor MIKE and he said that the company is tanked and he is no longer working with James anymore. But i still see the website up and running. Look at the yelp filtered reviews of this company. You will find similar customer complains.. A BIG SCAM. read more

I would put zero star for this business if I can. Exactly the same scamming happened to me. James Ramos is a scammer and he simply did NOT pay his subconstractors and did not reply to any phone calls, emails. Stay AWAY from this business. read more

James B. Ramos is the owner of Senery Efficiency, license # 973653, is now absconding, untraceable, stopped all communication (email, phone, text) and is not reachable. I contracted him for Asbestos abatement, duct replacement and new furnace. He took the money, only completed 80% work, and is now absconding without trace. Please do not work with him. I filed a CSLB complaint, PGE is also looking for him and his CA state license has been suspended. I am posting this so folks avoid him and not be deceived by his business sweet talk. Update 1: I was told that this company 's license has already been suspended and CSLB is investigating now. Please stay away from James Ramoss and his company Senergy Efficiecny. read more

According to the CSLB website, Senergy Efficiency Ca Lic # 973653 had their license revoked 10/16/15.

I highly recommend this company. I initially called them because I had single pane windows, old furnace and hot / cold rooms in my home. After an initial explanation over the phone they told me all of the potential problems and how I can fix them. They were very knowledgeable and friendly so I decided to scheduled an energy assessment. The next day they performed an energy assessment of my entire home. A few days later we went over the outcome of the energy evaluation and we discussed all of my option, cost and how much rebate I can get from PGE. From my initial phone call and the energy assessment report it only took 3 days for me to know and understand what my problems were and how to fix them. A few days later I decided to move forward with the retrofit. I upgraded my windows, insulation and furnace and I am very happy with the retrofits, my home is a lot more comfortable. They also submitted all the paper work to PGE and I got my rebate a few weeks later. I highly recommend this company to analyze your home, determine the problems and perform all the remediations . read more

This review is long overdue but a year ago we were dealing with extremely high energy bills and a cold house that felt like it had drafts everywhere. That's when we did some research about what we could do to make our home more efficient. Senergy was recommended to us by a friend. They came promptly and did a thorough home evaluation complete with report and made important recommendations. They were not pushy or overbearing, just gave us the facts and let us decide on our own what we wanted to do and made us more aware of what rebates were available at the time. We then decided to have our entire house reinsulated since we live in a 35 yo home. Best decision we ever made! We are now saving about 30-40% in energy bills each month especially in the winter. Senergy connected us with reputable and reliable companies they work with who all came within a timely manner. And true to their word, we got the rebates that were due to us from the government within a few weeks. We are now much happier with our home and having gone through 4 seasons, we know that the energy efficiency update we did we had done to our home was well worth it. All thanks to Senergy. read more

We moved into a 50 yr old house that needed new insulation. PG&E was offering rebates and Senergy was on the list as an approved contractor. After contacting James from Senergy, he did a quick inspection of our house and recommended to air/duct seal our house and insulation of the attic and walls; all of which we decided to go forward with. Its been almost 6 months since then and our house is much more comfortable. We've noticed that the house is a lot quieter, less drafty and the temperature inside our house doesn't fluctuate as much as it used to (it doesn't get too hot or too cold any more). He also helped with processing the PG&E rebate which made the process painless. Highly recommended. read more

Highly recommend that you guys should not go with these groups of people. 1. James was not very honest with pricing, he came to our place and told us about the services very professionally, and he said he have been doing this for a number of years. Then i thought if he have been doing his job for a period of time, he should be honest and tell us if certain things may have cost us extra money. And behold, Milpitas inspection required us to either make a bigger hole right by the water heater or moved the water heater out of the house. I had to paid $3000 outside of what I intend to paid for the services. $3000 isn't a small amount of money. Lastly, i've been waiting for the rebate from PG&E , James kept on emailing me seem like every other day for the payment. i told them i will email him when the check arrives, yet he continue to email and even want to stop by to pick up the check... sound desperate. 2. Air plumping was Senergy Efficiency partnered group; I decided to go with Mark to get my water heater removed. Very little communication on their side when they want me to be at home. He charged me $2500 then after when we signed the contract. A couple of days later, he called and said I wouldn't tell you this but you need a permit and also you need to pay me extra money because I would be driving back and forth to your house. I had to end up paying him $500 extra after signing the contract. Let alone, I told him to throw away my water heater and cover the exiting hole... he use tape - I told him I have tape too... he tried to argue with me that his tape was better. Taping a hole does not reduce airflow going into the house. Only when I threaten that I will write a bad yelp he decided to fix the hole by removing the pipe and cover it with wood. WOW I wonder if I should even consider this group professional or not. 3. James, partnered group also fixed my window, I had to email them twice to come and fix the lock twice. I wrote a review on yelp and James, kept on bothering me telling me I should remove the yelp because they had already gotten it fixed. I of course removed it. I bet there are so many other bad yelp out there that James, pressed people to delete. 4. I've been told by James that my house will feel warmer once we insulated. we insulated, but it feels like before. 5. Overall, please be aware when you deal with these people. They will surprise you with unexpected money to get something fixed. My unexpected surprise was fixing the water heater and under the crawlspace there's a loose wire that need to be removed. read more

Senergy is Great! My wife and I recently purchased a home in South San Jose and we were spending a bunch of money on our energy bill each month. We had Senergy come out and do a home energy assessment and they were great. They followed up with us very promptly to discuss the results and possible options. We decided to move forward with the work and they handled all of the scheduling for us. All of our old insulation was removed, house air sealed and then completely re-insulated from top to bottom. We are very pleased with the work and in addition we have cut our energy bills in half! read more

We had this company come out to do an energy assessment on our 40 year old home. With the house being that old and having single paned windows, it seemed very cold and we were having to use our heater way more than seemed necessary. After our assessment we were given recommendations on how to better insulate our house and save $$. We went with their recommendations and glad we did because our PG&E bill has gone way down! I highly recommend SEnergy! read more

We have a 50 year old house that didn't seem to stay warm enough in the winter and had a roof that was questionable. None the less, I had contacted Senergy, per recommendation from a friend, and discussed our issue with James. He reassured us that they would be able to fully insulate our home and replace our roof to help us save energy and money in the long run. Not only did he match a roof estimate I had received from another company he was able to fit us into a program that allowed us to finance the entire project and receive the maximum PG&E rebate! Nice! James was helpful and answered all questions. I have recommended several friends to them as well. read more

I heard a commercial on Pandora about PG&E rebates to improve the energy efficiency of your home so I called sEnergy for more information. I was initially concerned with our bill, and through our conversation I discovered that upgrading to double pane windows was actually covered by the PG&E rebate and we had been considering upgrading them for quite some time, not necessarily for energy reasons, but more to improve the aesthetic of our home. I scheduled an Energy Evaluation as I was told it is the first step in the process. My appointment was scheduled the following week. The gentleman who came out was very friendly and explained the potential problems with our home & made recommendations to fix them. We met again two days later where he went over a very detailed report of his findings from the Energy Evaluation. We discussed the package options and which one would allow me to maximize my PG&E rebate, which I very much appreciated. I decided to go with the largest package since it was the best bang for my buck with $4,000 of my retrofit cost being covered by the PG&E rebate. I basically got a majority of my retrofits for free. All of the work was coordinated amongst various crews who were all very professional. They showed up on time, worked neatly & everything was left just as it had been before they arrived. Another interesting thing about this company is that they use various "ghost buster" type diagnostic equipment to measure the in/efficiency of your home, so they aren't merely speculating on the cause of your home's problems, but can actually show you. It's been a month since my retrofits were completed and I couldn't be happier. Not only does my house look great with the new windows, but it's actually more comfortable too. I don't even run my furnace/AC as much anymore. The best part is my utility bill dropped. I would definitely go with this company for a one stop shop for all things energy efficiency. They also mentioned they offer solar, so that's definitely next on my list. read more

Very good service! It was well worth for the money and time. Our utility bill went down 40% after the job was done.

This company had helped me lower my PG&E bill. James has been a real help in improving my home took be more energy efficient.
