Energy Remodeling reviews

Janice purchased an expensive solar package for the couple’s 15-year family home, and after the installers left she discovered the company had vanished. She and her husband could not reach anyone by phone and received no callbacks, so they drove to three listed business addresses looking for answers. At the last known Concord, CA location a security guard told them the firm had been “Evicted” for nonpayment of rent and speculated it may have folded and re-emerged under a new name; he added that other people had come asking about the company as well. Left without recourse, the couple concluded they had been defrauded: the overpriced system left them with a stark choice between bankruptcy or selling the home. They chose to sell, surrendering much of the profit they’d expected after 15 years in the property. Janice also alleges civil rights violations and elder abuse in how the sale and financing unfolded. Now she’s trying to locate whoever is operating under the old name and is organizing with others for possible legal action — she’s actively seeking anyone with information and representation for a class-action.

Irene S. hired the company for what she understood to be a $30,000 solar installation and soon discovered multiple problems. She found the crew using what she judged to be inferior materials, then realized the finances blew up — the project that started at $30,000 would end up costing her about $90,000 before it was paid off. The situation escalated further when the company placed a lien on her house. She walked away frustrated, and the most striking detail for future buyers is this: the relationship culminated in a lien on her home.

Conor O. went into a solar install last summer and ended up with a 60 sq ft hole cut in his roof — done over his objections — that remained unrepaired for more than nine months. He pushed the company for a fix and even threatened legal action, but they refused to settle, so he filed a claim with the California Contractors State License Board hoping that going after the contractor’s license will force payment for the damage. Frustrated, he also pointed other homeowners to file complaints with the CSLB (http://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Filing_A_Complaint/) and the Better Business Bureau (https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started) if they run into noncooperation. He warns potential customers to keep looking for a contractor: in his experience the company showed poor project management, bad customer service, and a tendency to dodge responsibility and cut corners. The detail that sticks is the unrepaired, large roof opening left for months and his ongoing CSLB claim to resolve it.
