SoCal Energy reviews

T hired the company for a solar installation and found Liroy a pleasure to work with. They appreciated how quickly he answered messages and questions and how flexible he was to their needs. Most memorable was his methodical, thorough approach to the work — that careful execution combined with prompt communication produced a smooth installation and left them very satisfied with the outcome.

Travelingguru K. was nervous about doing any work on his home until he found Liroy — and that decision changed the whole experience. He and his partner admit they’re picky (he even jokes about their wedding vendors), so hiring someone who cared as much about how the installation looked as how it performed felt like a relief. Liroy treated the rooftop like a design problem as well as an electrical one, fussing over placement and finish until the array blended in; what they expected to be an eyesore ended up looking like a thoughtful, beautiful addition. Honest, meticulous, and easy to trust, Liroy handled the project from start to finish with an attention to aesthetics and function that outshone the typical contractor routine — the detail that stuck with them was how much he cared about the look, sometimes more than they did.

Lorraine S. was working in her front yard when a salesperson stopped by and set a 5 p.m. appointment after a quick chat about home improvements. At the scheduled time two young women turned up — but instead of talking about windows they immediately pushed a solar system. She repeated three times that she only wanted windows, and the meeting quickly turned hostile. One of the pair began arguing, insulted her understanding of the company’s window program, and insisted they were “helping.” When Lorraine asked them to leave, they refused, sat down in her living room and kept badgering her, calling her decision foolish. The closer then shifted to odd personal comments — telling Lorraine she liked her out of the blue — and later asked why Lorraine was staring, after which Lorraine again demanded they get out. The women snorted and finally left. What lingered was the invasion of her home and the refusal to leave when asked — that refusal, and the personal insults, made an otherwise routine sales visit feel intrusive and upsetting.

Yuan Xianliang hired Socal Energy to install solar roofing and came away delighted with the outcome. Their crew handled the job with visible skill, completing the roof work in a way that impressed him. The clear standout for him was the team’s workmanship and professionalism. He encourages anyone considering roof-mounted solar to choose Socal Energy because of that strong execution.

Calvin Myles worried the new system would make his home look ugly, but Socal Energy’s installation ended up enhancing the roof — the panels look amazing. He has started saving money on his energy bills since the system went live. He thanked Liroy and the entire Socal Energy team for their work. The standout detail: a surprisingly attractive array that’s already trimming his costs.

Katie J. had wanted solar for her home for a long time, and this year she finally made it happen with Socal Energy. After collecting quotes from several companies and weighing cost, location, and depth of experience—plus a promotional offer that helped tip the balance—she chose Socal Energy. The installers left a neat-looking array of panels that are performing well, and the company’s app lets her watch energy production and consumption in real time. The benefit became tangible when she received a $512 check for savings from October 2021 through February 2022, a clear sign the system is delivering both data and dollars.

Shauna B. had SoCal Energy install a grid-tie solar system with battery backup about seven months ago, and it has run flawlessly — she even jokes about the “sound of money falling” when the sun hits the panels. She deliberately traded off a full complement of panels to afford the battery backup, and that choice still yields roughly a 60% cut in her electric bills even with full A/C running in summer; winter performance holds about the same despite shorter daylight. System design, installation and the owner training all felt thorough, but what truly stood out was the electrical contractor’s work on a fairly complex setup — neat, well executed, and it earned a favorable comment from the code inspector. She rated the job a 10/10 and has recommended SoCal Energy dozens of times; the tidy, inspector-approved electrical workmanship is the detail she points to first.

Christopher D. discovered his air conditioning had quit on Sunday, so he spent Sunday night checking reviews and called SoCal Energy first thing Monday. An executive at the company stepped in and arranged for a technician to be there Monday morning. The tech arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem, and, at Christopher’s request, replaced a relay on the heating side of the system. The whole situation moved from overnight research to an on-site visit within about 24 hours — the memorable bit being that an executive personally made the quick morning appointment happen.

Erick reached out through an online form to have his roof and gutters checked; SoCal Energy scheduled a visit quickly and the technician showed up on time. He inspected the gutter system, determined it needed only a cleaning rather than repair or replacement, and offered timing advice plus a few other practical tips. The tech stayed pleasant and professional throughout and then left without charging anything. Erick plans to call them for future roofing needs — the free, no-pressure inspection and clear guidance is the detail that stood out.
