Eco Construction & Energy reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
Eco Construction & Energy delivers strong technical work and attentive follow-up, but a pattern of high-pressure sales and dismissive management should give you pause. We found 36 reviews praising responsive staff like Anthony and Gian, who explained financing options clearly and stayed available months after install. One customer saved $50,000 through careful system engineering and noted the team treated them "like family rather than like a customer." But 11 negative reviews describe condescending sales reps, weeks-long delays on proposals, and a CEO who texted blame instead of accountability when a customer complained about three years of AC repairs. One reviewer waited 41 days for a quote that never arrived, another was hung up on mid-conversation. The workmanship scores hold steady (38 mentions of quality installation), yet the company closed operations in 2025, leaving warranties worthless. If you hire them, get every timeline and warranty term in writing before signing.
If you value post-install support and transparent pricing, Eco's technical team may deliver. But if a sales rep pressures you on insurance payouts or dodges face-to-face meetings, walk away. The company's closure in 2025 means any warranty is now unenforceable.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Huinic endured three years of recurring problems after this company installed an air conditioner and took far longer than expected to set up solar panels on their home. They spent years dealing with the AC failing again and again, and watching crews return repeatedly to correct the quirks left behind by the installation; whatever money the job may have saved felt outweighed by the endless time spent having workers in the house. The sales team charmed them at the start, but workmanship and follow-through fell short, and the delays cost the family other planned projects on their property. When Huinic texted the CEO about the ongoing repairs, the CEO shifted responsibility elsewhere instead of stepping into the homeowners’ shoes — even though she had been there at the beginning to collect payment and never reappeared over the next three years. The experience left them calling out a lack of integrity and a pattern of putting profit ahead of service, and pushed them to trust local handyman ads on freeway trucks for future work.
Shemp Howard hired Eco Construction and Energy for a sizable solar installation and a back-of-house panoramic door and window renovation on his home. Early on he discovered the thing that set them apart: instead of automatically replacing the roof underlayment as a line item, they climbed onto the roof, inspected the paper themselves, and told him it was fine — saving him the unnecessary expense while still providing the same 10‑year leak protection warranty. From that moment he realized a competitor’s recommendation to replace the paper had been more about adding a charge than about real need. The solar portion moved unusually fast. Eco sourced large, commercial‑scale panels that arrived sooner than he expected; because the modules are bigger they generate more per panel and reduce inverter and labor needs, which lowered installation complexity and cost. Installers handled the work quickly and cleanly, and any small issues that popped up were resolved immediately. For the panoramic doors and windows the crew did homework on his behalf: they compared Anderson to a more affordable Panoramic Doors product, took him to the showroom, and even shared the invoices they received so he
Steve B. hired an ECO Construction representative, Anthony, to his ranch-style home on November 22, 2021 to evaluate rebuilding a water-damaged kitchen. From the first phone call he noticed Anthony pressing for the dollar amount his insurance had offered and steering the conversation toward solar panels—an odd focus for a homeowner who wanted a straightforward kitchen repair. During the visit Anthony never asked about the kitchen’s needs, had to be reminded to take photos, and left promising a proposal “soon.” Three weeks passed with only repeated requests from Anthony for the insurance payout and excuses that the crew was busy. On December 10 Anthony finally provided an email for a Mr. Tusakhov and suggested Steve contact him directly to get the proposal. Mr. Tusakhov then assured Steve a proposal would arrive by December 14, but January passed with no follow-up. By the time Steve first posted the review he had spent 41 days waiting for either rep to produce a written quote and had concluded ECO had wasted his time. When ECO replied via Jeanie H., Steve pushed back point by point: he and his spouse had moved on between the original post and its repost; ECO did not demonstrate it

Gregg L. hired San Diego Energy Solutions to install systems on two different houses and walked away extremely pleased. The two projects came about two years apart, but he never felt abandoned between jobs — the team laid out costs and timelines up front and moved quickly from start to finish. He ended up with strong equipment and what he called a very good deal, and wished he'd made the switch sooner. What stuck with him most was Anthony’s responsiveness: he answered calls promptly, even nights and weekends, and stayed engaged long after the installation wrapped up.
This homeowner had Eco Construction install a solar system in August 2024 and ran into trouble almost immediately. They discovered the batteries weren’t installed correctly — a finding confirmed by Franklin, the battery manufacturer — and reached back out to Eco expecting a warranty repair. Instead, Jeanie Haar told them Eco was going bankrupt, shifted responsibility to a colleague named Gian, and provided a contact for an independent installer who then wanted to charge for the fix. Noting that Jeanie Haar is listed as CEO/President on the BBB, they felt the company wasn’t taking responsibility for what Franklin called Eco’s improper installation. With Eco refusing to honor the warranty, they began dealing directly with Franklin to try to resolve the battery issue. The experience left them regretting the choice of contractor; the detail that stuck with them was that Eco still appears to be operating publicly while declining to fix a warranty-covered problem and directing customers to paid third parties.
