Rob is an online hero. He knows what I'm talking about. Is there a supervisor? Please reach out to me.

Salesperson seemed shady. I asked what they sell and he said they sell "the results of the evaluation" and wouldn't be specific. Although, he said the evaluation itself is free. He told me to look them up. Better Business Bureau has several complaints against them. They are not affiliated with FPL. I called and verified. They try to sell you solar power, or AC and heating equipment with high pressure sales tactics. You can get a free evaluation from any heating and AC place.

These guys sold me a unit telling me it would lower my bill but instead my bill went up 100. When I had called about it I was told that energy prices went up but how did they go up that much in the 2 weeks from when I signed the contract. I was told that I would be able to use the tax credits to pay for it and I even told the guy that I didnt work that year but he said I would be fine. When I went to file for the tax credits, I was told that bcz I didnt work, im not eligible. So they lied to me there and now I have to eat the whole $22k. Find a better company and stay far away from these guys.

Chris explained how the quick process would work to replace my HVAC system, add a solar attic fan and clean/sanitize and seal my air ducts. Only problem is I was given too little time to investigate and decide. All the work was done well and professionally

Technicians did an excellent job cleaned up after themselves. They were professional and courteous. Pleasure to do business with.

Great people, they work fast and get things done.

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.
What we don't know
- The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
- We found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
- We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
- We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
