Codella Solar & Associates reviews

Larry F. first met Aharon, the owner-operator of Ventura-based Codella Solar, nearly two years ago when he wanted solar pool heating for his 90-degree pool. He preferred a local crew, Aharon’s quote beat the others, and the Codella team installed a system that delivered two seasons of trouble-free late-spring to early-fall swimming. When he later decided to add solar electric and an EV charger, Aharon walked him through system sizing and returned with Mike, the electrician, to map out charger and sub-panel locations—critical because the garage sits at the opposite end of the house from the main panel. Mike even built in an easy option to add a second charger if another EV appears down the road. Codella provided two separate estimates—four solar-size choices and two charger options—then came back with detailed explanations and a bundled credit if both projects were done together. After comparing those bids to four other companies, inspecting three Codella installs and touring a local home where Aharon, Mike and Jim had done both solar and charging work, he chose Codella; the same people who quoted the job were the ones who delivered the materials and completed the install. He asked,

After getting three bids, Lar Far chose Codella Solar & Associates to put a solar heating system on their pool — a decision driven by a competitive price and the comfort of working with Aharon, the owner. Aharon came to the house, laid out the available options, sketched a system tailored to the pool, and handed over a detailed quote, which led to an early spring 2017 installation. They watched Aharon schedule the work, begin on time, and personally show up every day until the job was finished. He handled small but important requests — moving the rooftop temperature sensor, adding extra tie-down straps, lifting pavers to run pipe underground and putting them back so the yard looked undisturbed — and the result was a 90-degree solar-heated pool and two trouble-free summers of use. A few years later they asked Codella back to install solar electric panels and an EV charger. Aharon returned with Mike, the electrician, to walk through charger and sub-panel placement (their garage sits at the opposite end of the house), and Mike even planned for an easy second-charger upgrade. Codella provided two separate, detailed quotes — one for solar with four size options and one for the charger,

Gary S. lived with a solar hot-water system installed in 1985 that included a heat exchanger intended to warm his spa, but it only worked on the very hottest days. When the original hot-water tank finally began leaking, he turned to Codella Solar. Peter arrived, replaced the tank, and reworked the heat exchanger so the spa now reaches about 100°F on any sunny day. Years later, while gathering bids for solar electric panels, he compared Codella’s offer with two others and found Codella’s quote the best; despite minor concerns about price differences, his prior experience with Peter made him choose the company. The panel installation was professional and produced several years of reduced electric bills, and Peter has continued to return for checks and service over time. What stuck with him most was that technical attention to the spa system—getting it to reliably hit 100°F whenever the sun is out—and the steady, hands-on follow-up that kept the panels performing.

Liz H. brought Aharon in after a poor solar job had left their pool system cobbled together with cheap plastic; he tore out the inferior parts and, years ago, replaced them with a durable copper setup. She has enjoyed reliable pool performance ever since. Over the years she has had him back for routine checkups and maintenance, and he consistently arrives on time, is courteous, works efficiently, and demonstrates clear expertise. The detail that stands out is that swap to a quality copper system paired with steady, prompt upkeep—proof of the firm's long-standing, dependable approach to service.

Jim D. has turned to Codella Solar every year for the past decade, keeping the company on call for his system over that span. He found their team consistently reliable and knowledgeable, and discovered their pricing to be fair. He singled out Peter, the owner, as a very nice gentleman and trusts that when he calls Codella they “get the job done” on time and without issues. After ten years of steady service he wishes he could award six stars — that level of dependable, long-term service is what stands out.

After getting a new roof and needing to replace his solar pool heater, Nick Mancini followed a colleague's recommendation and contacted Codella Solar. Codella himself arrived on time, took measurements, ran the calculations and provided a clear estimate. A few weeks later the crew completed the installation, and he now has a pool that reaches the perfect temperature whenever he wants. He walked away impressed by the quality of the materials and the straightforward, punctual process—the thing that sticks with him is how the careful measurements and calculations produced a flawless result.

Dieter Reese has relied on Codella Solar for many years to maintain and upgrade his pool solar heating system and other pool equipment. Over that time he discovered technicians who understand the systems, respond promptly when called, and consistently stand behind the work they perform. He found their pricing fair and competitive, and valued the dependable follow-through on repairs and upgrades. What kept him returning was the steady mix of expertise, prompt service, and a company willing to back up its work.

Ray T. hired Codella Solar to design and install a full solar system with battery backup on his fairway-side home. He picked Aharon to lead the work, and the crew completed the job efficiently and left the site clean; the system appears to be running great. What set the experience apart was Aharon’s attention: he listened to concerns, answered every question, and treated the project like a custom installation. When Ray pointed out that golf balls often strike the roof, Aharon changed the layout and placed the panels in an alternate location rather than sticking to the original plan. The result was a tidy, well-executed system with battery backup and panels sited to avoid the fairway — a practical detail that mattered most to the homeowner.

Connie H. turned to Codellla Solar after the company that originally installed her system refused to touch a malfunctioning panel. Codellla Solar showed up quickly, repaired the problem right away, and the panel has worked continuously ever since. She appreciated the fast, high-quality fix—especially because Codellla stepped in to repair an installation that everyone else avoided. The detail that lingers is simple: a prompt, lasting repair to a system left stranded by its original installer.
