    Waited 15+ minutes for the dang chatbot to return. If only Elon hadn't fired everyone!

    We agreed to a 30-year solar system lease between 5-8 years ago when the company was SolarCity... Living to regret that! Inverter stopped working on 11/7 and still we sit waiting for a tech to fix it. Only one or two Tesla techs in our area? C'mon! Forget trying to call. That's a hassle and does not lead to results. Forget about chatting with their bots, too. Tried to chat to find out where our schedules tech was, and the bot went on a coffee break or something. The worst!

    Jesus crew were awesome! Fast and efficient. Battery is beautiful, plus they got to fit all the electrical components in a small garage. They said the drywall was a little damaged, and will have the drywaller come fix it

    Puzzled by poor reviews here on Tesla solar panel for long time but finally cannot resist from its decent price, almost half as the offer I received from other solar company. Ordered solar panel on 3/31, installed on mid-April and finally approved by SDGE on 4/28, super fast!!! Follow-up work was done in no time, one crack tile was replaced the hole in the garage celling was filled perfectly. Everything is communicated and processed online without any issue, it may takes few days to get response but overall satisfied. I ordered 8kW panel and now generating 40~50Kwatt everyday. Strongly recommended to my neighbors before the powerwall bundle is enforced.

    Highly satisfied customer. The installation was very neat - clearly a lot of attention to detail by all 3 employees who were on-site for the day to install the solar pool heating system. I'd recommend Guelph Solar.

    Look they planned to put the panels right under the chimney despite light readings and meter tests.  Look at the shade, fail!
    I S.

    Solar city has been a nightmare since day one even prior to installation. They make mistakes on everything. You know the designer put a design of panels under a South facing chimney? That does not make sense. They say it don't shade until I looked and took a pic. Also the sales person Gene Major (apparently he's the top sales guy more like the top sales liar) neglected to get forms for me on time like he promised. Never submitted my sdge bill which delayed things as well as hoa paperwork. I had to escalate to his supervisor Luis Philips who I met with to resolve things. The supervisor was understanding but then I found out 3 weeks later they didn't send my HOA request. After asking several times, Gene says fedex lost it. I'm like done. To put topping on the cake after being approved by Mosic financing they ran my credit 3 times (2 times without my authorization). Fyi when you attempt to get a loan through Mosiac your credit gets ran 2 times and 1 month later 1 more time from a seperate company attached to Mosiac. Both company's don't know, every company pointed the finger at the other. Bottom line, you get your credit report ran 3 times for one loan that's at least 10 points on your credit report in violation of the Federal Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). So I'm shopping around and going elsewhere. I'm so glad I cancelled what a nightmare. Look at their reviews when the other installers are 5 star. Your just a number with Solarcity. They just sent me a email to take care of it for the inquiries. I guess I have to do the leg work and pain to try to get stuff removed. Any other company would have it deleted. Remember. Apply for a loan with Solarcity you get 3 credit reports. 2 from Solarcity and one from Sunlight. Hello Barry, This sounds like a question for our customer care team at (877) 701-7652. You can also reach out to Mosaic at (855) 746-7849 and Sunlight (888) 850-3359. Thank you and please let me know if they were able to help. Regards, Gene Gene Major

    Solar city takes care of their customers!

    Review Update: After…read moremy initial review, Eric (the sales rep) and Matt (the owner) of Sunline personally reached out to me and was apologetic about the situation. They sent Travis out promptly, who is their electrician where he found that the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty 40-amp breaker that was intermittently providing the necessary voltage, even though measurements initially appear correct. While the breaker issue caused real inconvenience and unexpected costs on my end, the owner was responsive and showed willingness to smooth things over to work toward a resolution. I also want to highlight that the panel upgrade and solar/battery installation itself was clean and well done. The workmanship that Eddie, Manny, Christian and Jamie performed had overall met my expectations, and once the issue was identified, Sunline did step in to correct it. No project is perfect, but how a company responds when problems arise matters a lot. In this case, Sunline's owner and Eric was engaged, responsive, and made a sincere effort to make things right. As an engineer, and after witnessing the symptoms and corrective actions firsthand, I believe the breaker issue was likely a manufacturing defect, and it was unfortunate that it occurred during the holidays. That said, based on how Sunline handled the situation, the overall quality of their work, and the value they offer, I would recommend them and plan to continue using them for future needs.

I'll be loyal to Guthrie and Sons from now on and won't hesitate to refer them. Awesome service and they saved me a lot of money! Thanks to honest technicians like Vlad!

    Short Version:…read more Called for leak search, service was not thorough. Guthrie and Sons' technician told me he found a small leak in the coil unit, then told me the coil unit needed to be replaced, and recommended to replace the whole AC unit since my system is old. Turns out there was a major leak in the refrigerant line in the attic, and a small leak in the TXV valve, which were not identified in the original leak search. Another company replaced the TXV valve and the broken refrigerant line for half the price compared to the coil unit replacement suggested by Guthrie and Sons. Detailed Version: My AC stopped pumping cold air when I first turned on the AC unit this year. Turns out the refrigerant was all leaked out. Called Guthrie and Sons for a leak search (cost $527). Technician came out, pumped the lines to 300PSI and said he found a small leak at the coil unit. He told me the coil unit needs to be replaced, and recommended a full AC system upgrade since my system is very old. Luckily, I asked for another quote from West Coast. West Coast technician was unable to locate the leak in the coil unit and noticed the pressure was dropping very quickly and suspected there was a big leak elsewhere. Then the technician took the coil unit back to his shop for diagnostic and found there was a leak in the TXV valve. West Coast technician returned with the coil unit and located the big leak in attic and the technician took care of it and our system is working again. Since Guthrie and Sons technician did not found the real problem of the leak and charged me $500+ for the leak search, I called them and requested a compensation. However, they refused. I believe in second chance, but it is unfortunate that Guthrie and Sons did not try to make things right and admit the failure of their leak detection. Not to mention they tried to sell me a whole unit replacement which would cost a lot more while leaving the real problem unfixed. My recommendation is to avoid Guthrie and Sons, as they are not willing to take up their own mistakes, and try to up sell customers unnecessary products. Since West Coast did a great job, I would recommend West Coast instead.

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.

He went to college for this, believe he grew up off grid on Maui and you can tell right away he's knowledgeable and a straight shooter. Not to mention he had the best pricing and deal out of every other company! Gabe made us feel comfortable with our decision, gave us all the information we wanted, and actually drove out to our house multiple times to chat when we had additional questions and concerns. Is Aloha a smaller company, yes, but will Gabe answer your call when needed, yes! Fast forward install happened within a couple weeks of signing the deal. Minas was the head installer it seemed (all people are internal employees with Aloha and work is NOT contracted out, that was a big seller for us), and two other guys Rigo and Matt. All were super nice and very professional. Minas walked me through everything at the end, and major bonus points once he installed the piping going from battery to roof, he asked if I had paint that matched the exterior of my house. I did, and he then painted all of the piping! I know he did not have to do that, so that was a fantastic touch. If you're thinking about solar, trust me, I did the research and I spoke to all of the sales people. GO WITH ALOHA! You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks to Gabe and the team!
