Vital energy just updated my solar system and they were great to work with. This system is so much…read morebetter than my old one; no comparison. The company was very responsive and answered all my questions readily. All in all, an excellent experience.

I'm aware of the fact that it's to-date one of the few negative reviews for Vital Energy, but I'm…read moregoing to share my warning to others, as it could suggest that they may not be of the same quality as before. Vital's quote was higher than most others we received, but given their reviews, we decided it was worth the extra spend for a clean install. Pre-install had delays and miscommunications. I know this is common with projects, so I remained positive. I was sent engineering plans for my approval. I saw that these revised plans were for a smaller system than what I had originally agreed to. The change would have made it easier for the installers, but would have netted me less energy, with no adjustment to my cost. To the PM's credit, he attempted to draw my attention to these changes when they were sent for my approval, but I nevertheless saw it as a proposed change constructed to benefit Vital with no consideration toward me, and delayed the process even more as I had them change back to the original agreed-upon system size. I remained positive. On installation day, one of the installers broke my new and expensive inverter. I said no big deal, I'll talk to the PM and we'll figure something out. Even though the system wasn't fully functional due to the broken inverter, but I nevertheless paid everything that was due that day, withholding only a documented amount equivalent to a replacement inverter until we can find a resolution. The manufacturer would only replace the broken inverter it with a used device under warranty (i.e. one that another customer has returned and has been refurbished) with a shorter warranty window. Rather than demand a new inverter at the company's expense, which I believe I fairly could have, I proposed options which included a partial credit for the downgrade (and the warranty hassle and ~two months lost solar generation). After waiting weeks for a reply, I followed up and their finance specialist accepted responsibility for the damage IN WRITING and agreed to the credit. I spent hours on the warranty process, found an oversized box, and shipped the broken unit. This is where it unraveled. Right after the resolution, CEO Jason Jackson, got involved for the first time, deflected blame, and said he thinks my equipment was defective (a manufacturing defect somehow caused a piece of hard plastic to snap off?), asked to inspect it and offered to handle the warranty for me. I told him that the package was already shipped, and that I would have very much welcomed his examination and warranty help three weeks ago (rather than the radio silence I received), but the resolution reached, device shipped and warranty in motion. And despite his self-proclaimed "30 years in the industry," didn't appear to have a grasp of the situation as he incorrectly called the inverter a "battery," and required correction. He also accused me of breach of contract for temporarily withholding a small amount due to the breakage. Meanwhile, I noticed flickering lights in several rooms. Nothing suggested a solar connection, so we called an electrician... three visits and $1,300+ later, he traced it to loose connections and a stripped lug in equipment the installers had just worked in, attributing it to the install with a high degree of likelihood. I had been willing to absorb that bill just to move on. Instead, as the CEO kept trying to walk back the written agreement, I was told my warranty might now be partially void because a licensed electrician had worked in the same area, and the Vital threatened a lien on my home while I was withholding the remaining balance awaiting a corrected ledger and the heat detectors their own permit plans required. Five employees of Vital were copied in to the email thread which created an audience, so I eventually decide to email Jason directly to remove the risk of humiliation for him (I detected a hefty ego), and gave him a generous compromise offer. I made major concessions to just get this over with and we finally put it to bed. I was pleasantly surprised that he did not ask me to sign an NDA as part of a compromise, because now it allows me to share my experience here. The field crews were likable and professional, and even the installer who broke the inverter seemed like a knowledgeable, decent guy. Leadership is what failed here, at real cost in time and stress. Do your due diligence, and weigh the ownership of any company you hire. There are plenty of reputable solar companies out there...

Anderholm Electric - Another happy customer who isn't worrying about power outages.

I can't say enough good things about Anderholm Electric. We are out in Novato, and they were able…read moreto squeeze our house into their schedule on a really tight timeline. Their pricing was also reasonable. The owner, Jason, was incredibly easy to work with and brought great suggestions to the table. He showed us a few lighting options I hadn't even considered, and we ended up going with canless dimmable lights with a night light function. We absolutely love them! The crew was highly courteous while working in our home. They made sure everything was protected, vacuumed thoroughly when they were finished, and were completely professional the entire time. I was especially impressed by the behind-the-scenes details: they labeled everything perfectly, and their wire management is exceptionally neat and organized. My only regret is that I didn't call Anderholm Electric sooner! 10/10 highly recommend these guys to anyone needing electrical work.

I've used his company five different times over the years, and every time I've feelt great about the work. That's why I keep coming back. Jason is consistently accurate with his time estimates, which is something I really appreciate. His pricing has always been fair, and you never get the feeling he's trying to sell you something you don't need. That kind of honesty is hard to find these days. I highly recommend Jason and his team for any of your electrical needs.

It's hard to find someone reliable these days, so I definitely appreciate having an electrician I can trust and will keep using.

We couldn't get it to go back on at the panel, so I called Spyrka since we'd used them years ago. It was after hours, so I fully expected to get his voice mail in which I'd simply hope for a call back in the morning! Well quite surprisingly, Scott answered! Whew! I was able to explain things to him right then and there, and he immediately scheduled one of his techs to come by in the morning to help! That person was a brand new employee to Spyrka, named Damian. He was very nice, prompt, polite, knowledgable, professional, respectful of our property, quite educational, as I kept asking him questions, and obviously incredibly helpful! He was able to get the power restored, and replaced a couple old GFI's ( at my request ). He brought me up to speed on our old panel, so I decided it might be a good idea to start getting some quotes on possibly replacing it since our home is farily old. Scott was the first to quote us... and it arrived via email fairly soon afterward. Still need a few more of course, and then we'll decide. In any case, I'm just happy to have a reliable, efficient, extremely experienced, professional, and friendly company to call when we have any electrical needs. Thanks Spyrka!! :-)

I had a great experience with Geoff at Williams Electric. I was dealing with serious voltage…read morefluctuations throughout my house--lights flickering, appliances losing power, and outlets reading abnormally high or low voltage. Geoff quickly identified problems at the service connection where the utility power enters the house, repaired the loose connections and grounding issue, and carefully checked the main panel and subpanel. He walked me through everything he was testing, tightened several loose connections, and confirmed there was no heat damage. After his repairs, the voltage immediately stabilized around 121-123 volts, even with the microwave running under load. The lights stopped dimming, the stove stopped resetting, and the microwave began operating normally again. Geoff is clearly a highly experienced, old-school electrician who knows his trade inside and out. He was thorough, straightforward, and focused on fixing the actual problem. He also gave me helpful guidance about the permitting and compliance work that should be addressed next. I would absolutely recommend Williams Electric.

Extremely unprofessional experience. They were a no-show for the scheduled appointment and only…read morearrived an hour late after I called. The technician walked in without introducing himself, then, while I was writing the check, asked about my cat and started walking toward the back of my house without permission. When my partner stopped him, he came back and unexpectedly put both hands on my face, rubbed my eyebrows, and said, "You have such great eyebrows." I was completely taken aback. The electrical issue was fixed, but the behavior was incredibly inappropriate and uncomfortable. I would not recommend this company.

I hired SonoMarin Solar to remediate a solar installation that had been left with permitting and…read morecode-compliance issues by another contractor. The original solar work had been done in conjunction with a reroof, and by the time SonoMarin became involved, the project had become a complicated and stressful situation. The process took about six months from my first communication with SonoMarin to completion, in part because the original contractor's surety company was involved. Nick Paggi worked with the claims representative to explain the deficiencies and help resolve the issues. He was incredibly patient in providing updated estimates and documentation to satisfy the adjuster. Throughout the process, I appreciated that he was willing to take on a difficult remediation project and see it through. Nick was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Ayelet, the office manager, deserves a special mention as well. She talked me off the ledge on multiple occasions when the process became frustrating, and I really appreciated her patience, communication, and reassurance. Ray managed the onsite work and inspections and was also great to work with. He kept things moving and made sure the necessary work and inspections were handled properly. The crew deserves credit as well for working through some unsettled weather on installation day, including periods of light sprinkles, to get the job done. After the experience I had with the original contractor, working with a company that was knowledgeable, responsive, and actually followed through made a huge difference. SonoMarin took on a complicated situation that wasn't of their making and helped get everything resolved. I would definitely recommend SonoMarin Solar, particularly if you have an existing solar system that needs remediation, permitting, or to be brought up to code.

The original solar systems were installed years ago by SolarCraft and Ambrose. When it came time to add a backup battery in Napa, we chose SonoMarin first. That project went so smoothly that we later asked them to install a battery on our older, more complex Marin system as well. Despite the added complexity, they handled both installations efficiently and got everything up and running without drama. Ayelet in the office deserves special mention. She provides near-instant responses to texts and emails, keeps everything moving, and somehow manages to coordinate all the moving parts with ease. If you've ever dealt with solar projects, you know how valuable that is. She had seemingly infinite patience for my never-ending questions, handling them with professionalism and speed. She also helped me apply for relevant rebates and helped interface with the nightmare that is PG&E, making it all look easy. The whole team jumped through hoops to get the system in before the tax break expired. SonoMarin is a small company, localled owned and run by the same people I originally worked with at SolarCraft on our first install years ago, which really shows in the level of care and accountability. Avner and Nick have built a great company. Pricing was competitive--frankly, all three bids we received were in the same range--but the execution and communication set them apart. I would recommend SonoMarin without hesitation.
