American Home Energy Savers reviews

The Verdict
American Home Energy Savers has earned praise for professionalism, but value scores lag behind their workmanship reputation. We found hundreds of reviews consistently naming the same staff members (Branden, Keith, Jaime) for patient explanations and clean job sites. One reviewer switched to this company after a previous contractor left projects half-done and appliances broken, and over five years they've handled floods, window leaks, and full HVAC overhauls without a single complaint. The workmanship scores hold up across complex projects: a three-person crew resized undersized ducts, added missing return vents, and installed whole-house and attic fans in one day, transforming a second floor that used to trap oppressive heat. But 23 mentions flag value concerns, and the 3.7 score suggests quotes run higher than competitors. If you're willing to pay more for a contractor who'll diagnose problems your last installer missed (and actually show up when promised), the premium buys you reliability. If you're comparing purely on price, you'll likely find lower bids elsewhere.
If you need extensive home energy work and want a team that won't ghost you mid-project, American Home Energy Savers delivers professional execution and responsive follow-up. Just get multiple quotes, because the value score tells you this isn't the bargain option.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Miguel booked a roof inspection through American Home Energy and Branden came out to take a look. He discovered the roof didn’t need a full replacement — just a few minor fixes that Branden pointed out and that he felt comfortable tackling himself. He walked away struck by the straightforward, no-pressure approach: instead of pitching an expensive job, Branden laid out practical, honest advice. The detail that stuck with him was getting a short, actionable list of small repairs rather than a big bill.
Katherine M. moved into Elk Grove about five years ago with a new house and three young children, and the first contractor they hired left projects half done — no refrigeration, a garage door stuck open at night, and missed deadlines that made life chaotic. She brought in American Home Energy Savers to clean up that mess, and they not only finished the unfinished jobs but repaired the shoddy work the first crew left behind. Over the years they handled damage from street flooding caused by poor city drainage, sealed leaking window frames, cleared stubborn toilet clogs, and installed fans, light fixtures, the air system, a whole-house water filter, and instant-heat systems. Not once did she have a complaint about the quality of the work. She can call Jaime, the owner, directly and he will have a crew at the house within two days, which is why American Home Energy Savers has been the family’s sole contractor for five years. She doesn’t understand some of the negative reviews she’s seen; what stuck with her was the dependable, direct line to Jaime and the quick response when something needed fixing.
J Rapp reached out to have a whole-house fan installed for a two-story house where the upstairs turned into an oven on 95° days. When Jaime inspected the existing system, he discovered three big problems left by the previous HVAC installer: supply ducts were the wrong size so most conditioned air never reached the rooms and the system ran inefficiently, there was no return on the second floor so hot air had nowhere to go, and the furnace air intake was misconfigured. Jaime drew up a plan that fixed all of it rather than patching symptoms, and they agreed to add the whole-house fan and an attic fan along with the duct and intake corrections. A three-man crew arrived on time and completed the whole job in one day — worked through a short lunch, laid down drop cloths, put up protective plastic, and vacuumed when they left. The grates and switch they installed fit perfectly, so no drywall repairs were required. The payoff showed up immediately: the second floor finally has a functioning return so hot air can be drawn back into the system, the attic and house fans cool the roof and pull in cool evening air, and the resized ducts actually send conditioned air into the rooms.

What You Can Expect
In September 2020 Grace hired American Home Energy Savers for more than $30,000 in home energy work, including an Amana HVAC unit that came with a promised lifetime warranty. Less than five years later she discovered recurring failures: technicians found a hole in the coil, and while the warranty covered the $1,100 replacement part, it didn’t cover the refrigerant. The refrigerant ran $137 per pound and the system requires 8.5 pounds, and she also faced nearly $1,400 in labor on a unit that was still very new. After that repair the heat worked for a couple of days and then stopped again. A repairman who charges $125 an hour returned to troubleshoot — he inspected the electrical panel the company had billed her to replace and found the original electrical problems still existed. Rather than fix underlying wiring the company had effectively only swapped in new controls, leaving the root issues untouched. Grace owns her mistake in not researching before spending big, and what stayed with her was this: the so-called lifetime warranty covered the part but not the expensive refrigerant, and she ended up paying substantial out-of-pocket charges and ongoing service fees for problems on
Eric Anderson replaced his front lawn with a complete drought‑tolerant landscape because he was tired of mowing weeds. He’d worked with the company before and recognized their straightforward approach: a short, no‑frills sales presentation with no slick tactics. The real highlight came from the crew—Romero, Michael and their team—who handled the installation. He wasn’t sure if they were contractors or employees, but they explained the layout clearly, arrived on time, and worked incredibly hard. After a string of recent projects ruined by poor contractors, the professionalism of this crew stood out, even while laboring in record heat. He felt his pre-project anxieties melt away and will remember most how Romero and Michael’s team showed up and finished the job without drama.
James hired American Home Energy Savers to install an electric car charger in his garage and to replace the sidewalk and curbing at his Elk Grove home. He encountered Jaimie (and had dealt with Clinton earlier), both of whom kept a friendly, can-do demeanor and returned his calls promptly. The crew that handled the charger arrived on schedule, were personable, and completed the job in about an hour. For the sidewalk and curbing, a crew led by Romero delivered the most memorable work — after years of hiring contractors, he couldn’t recall anyone who made such an impression. Neighbors have been stopping to compliment the curbwork. He walked away impressed by the company’s responsiveness and by Romero’s crew’s standout craftsmanship.
