Revco Solar reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
Revco Solar will fix your leak the same day you call. In 16 maintenance reviews, we found technicians who diagnosed problems quickly and walked homeowners through the repairs on the spot. That responsiveness extends to their pool solar work, where 84% of reviews praised professional installation. But the company's warranty support tells a different story. We noticed two customers who bought systems with stated 12-year warranties only to be told later that Revco doesn't honor those warranties, that the coverage comes from a third-party manufacturer instead. One homeowner paid $249 for a service call and learned their warranty was void. Another left multiple messages about a repair and got no response at all, then endured two no-show appointments (one with no courtesy call) before giving up. When the day-to-day repair work goes smoothly, you'll get a knowledgeable tech like Robert who explains the worn parts and replaces them under a one-year warranty. When something falls outside that narrow window, you may be on your own.
If you need a one-off pool heater repair or a leak patched this week, Revco's techs will likely show up and solve it fast. But if you're buying a new system and expect the installer to stand behind it years later, the warranty confusion is a red flag worth clarifying in writing before you sign.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Jason installed a combined electric and pool-heating solar system with Revco back in 2007. Years later he discovered the company wouldn’t stand behind the products and that the warranties amounted to little practical protection. When he sought service, Tiffany in the warranty department and Jim in sales failed to return phone calls, leaving him to handle problems on his own. The most memorable detail: coverage that looked good on paper but no responsive support from the two people named as contacts.
Greg bought a new solar system for his home two years ago that came with a promised 12‑year warranty. When he called Revco for service recently, the company charged him $249 and told him the system was no longer covered. Revco pointed to the panel maker, Fifco, saying the warranty belonged to them rather than to the installer — which left him without the seller-backed protection he bought the system for. The striking detail of his experience: he paid a service fee and discovered Revco disclaimed responsibility, so the installer didn’t back the product in practice.
J hired RevCo several years ago to fix a pool‑heating solar array left behind by a company that had folded. The repair seemed to work at first, but the rooftop pipes the crew installed later warped in the sun and literally ripped out of the roof. Frustrated, J decided to replace the whole system and called to set up a purchase and service visit. After several unanswered messages, someone finally booked an appointment weeks out. On the first scheduled day the tech never showed up; hours later RevCo called to cancel because the technician tested positive for COVID. They rescheduled, took another day off work, and the tech again failed to arrive — this time with no courtesy call. When J rang to ask what was happening, customer service promised the tech would call on the way, but no call came and no one turned up. Two days of work missed, zero results. On top of that, the earlier shoddy installation left holes in the roof where the warped pipes pulled free. J walked away with roof damage, wasted time, and a decision to hire a different company.

Sam Reifsnyder called about a leak in his pool solar panel, got a prompt callback, and secured a service appointment for the very next afternoon. The technician arrived and completed the repair in very short order. The leak stopped, and the fix held up longer than he expected. The detail that stood out was the quick next-day scheduling combined with a fast, durable repair — a practical outcome for anyone facing a leaking pool solar panel.
Mr. B lined up a solar pool heating retrofit for his Huntington Beach pool and had Robert come out for the site survey; Robert answered every question and scheduled the install for about a week later. He came back with Morgan and completed the entire installation in a single day — neat, professional work using EcoSpark panels and all high-quality materials. The system tied into the existing Pentair equipment without any leaks or fuss. On the first test day, mostly sunny in April with a high of 68, a light breeze, and roof temps around 98°F, he ran the system about eight hours and watched the pool climb from 65°F to 74°F. He plans to experiment with flow rates and run times to chase a peak of 85°F, since nighttime temps dip into the 60s. The striking takeaway: a one-day, clean installation that produced almost a 10°F gain in a single mostly-sunny day.
