Deceptive business practices!! A couple of years into solar…read morepanel ownership. Here's some things they don't tell you when they sell you a system for $25,000. Your warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Whenever there is an issue with your system, you will get a notification that tells you there's an issue, but doesn't tell you what the issue is, that requires a technicians visits which is $180 I recently had a panel that is under performing, which, after a technicians visit deemed to be a manufacturers defect. So my kick ass warranty should cover this right? Wrong! The manufacturer will replace the panel, but I'll have to pay for shipping, which is approximately as much as a brand new panel would cost. Also, I have to pay for a technician to install the replacement panel. So when the sales person sells you peace of mind that the warranty will cover you - don't believe a word of it. I have long recommended solar panels to my friends. I have also long recommended not going near this chop shop enterprise. They are Temu version of what a solar company should be. Project management is a joke. See my earlier review for that debacle. Product support is an even bigger joke. I wish I could give zero stars.

My experience with Windfree Solar Company has been awful. Consider carefully reading the contract,…read morenoting if subcontractors would do the solar panel installation, if so, will Windfree cover losses, if applicable. In addition, make sure all the permit is pulled with your municipal, along with the correct schematics for the solar panels, both were an issue here. After speaking with Adam Perri, Director of Windfree Solar, I was told, due to the workers were subcontractors, the destruction of my personal outdoor equipment and garage was not Windfree problem. All the woes, leaves me with the savings from the schematics of 77% savings, panned out to 18%. Monitoring for the solar panels based on the information I was given was a country outside the U.S., with no option to opt out of 3rd party advertisement. No thank you! Value=NONE!

St.Paul Lutheran Church and Ministries on Canfield in Norwood Park Township contracted with Ailey…read moreSolar in July 2021 to put 226 solar panels on the roof of the Early Childhood Center. Panels were activated in January 2023. Before the contract was signed, representatives from Ailey took the time to come out to the property, went on the roof and checked the electrical. They also successfully navigated issues that came up as the project progressed. Everything is working as expected; expected annual production is approximately 119,000 kWh. Solar production updates will be on the church website www.stpaulcanfield.org.

I decided to go with Kapital Electric as my EV charger contractor of choice through word of mouth…read moreand was not disappointed I originally called to inquire about a rebate program associated with ev charger installations in specific Chicagoland areas and they made the application process really seamless. The staff is very responsive - theyll call, email, and even text you to work out anything and communicate as needed They give you the option to virtually provide photos of your setup for the initial proposal of an installation without requiring them to send someone to inspect things, which saves time for both parties. Once received, they'll verify the feasibility of the installation and draw up an official proposal for your review. I had a couple prerequisites to handle prior but once ready, they are quick to get back to you with all of the official documents From there, theyll send the engineers/electricians down to do the installation. Vasili handled my job and did amazing work. Super friendly and knowledgeable, great conversation, finished in 2 hours. He walked me through the game plan, insisted that I prioritized what location fit my preference over what would be easier to do, and executed it independently in a timely fashion. Overall very satisfied with the service from Kapital Electric :)

I don't even know where to begin! After I signed the contract with 93energy to install solar panels…read moreand upgrade my electrical service to 200 amps, it took a staggering 8 months for the system to be fully operational. During installation, they installed a Span Panel, but tried to charge me extra to complete the 200-amp hookup--even though I had it in writing that the upgrade was part of the contract. I had to show them their own emails to avoid the extra cost. When they finally finished and the system was running, I discovered they overcharged me by $800 through the finance company. They promised a refund, but the check that arrived was $200 short. One of the main reasons I chose this company was for their unique tax incentives, but when tax time came around, they outsourced the paperwork to an outside company without giving any guidance on how to use it. I had to hire a tax consultant just to figure it out. Since the system has been running, it has never produced as much energy as promised. After I asked why, it took them two months to respond, saying "electrical noise" was to blame, but they offered no solution or fix. Then, a year after installation, a tornado damaged my roof. Before signing the contract, I specifically asked how much it would cost to take down and reinstall the panels for a roof replacement, and they quoted around $2,000. Now that I actually need the work done, they've nearly doubled that estimate, citing increased labor costs. Fortunately, insurance will cover most of it, but it took them weeks to respond, and the earliest they can start is over a month away. To be clear, everyone I've spoken to at the company has been very nice, but the business as a whole is disorganized and unprofessional. They've made multiple mistakes throughout the entire process--mistakes that would have cost me a lot of money if I hadn't been keeping a close eye on everything. In summary, everything I was promised by 93energy has fallen short. I'm sure they do well for some customers in perfect conditions, but my experience has been the opposite. It seems like their business model is to sell you the dream, but once the contract is signed, you're on your own.

This review is completely for their sales dept. I didn't hire them because, if their service is as…read morebad as their sales, then they probably would have installed the wrong panels on the house next door. I reached out for a quote and heard back pretty quickly from Christy Carlson. Her response requested I send her some info and my current bill to her email. I did.

I did. Then radio silence. Followed up with an email 2 days later. Again nothing. Not sure if this is a scam company - but if it's a real business, they need a serious kick in the pants.

Juan is truly one of the good guys -- honest, incredibly knowledgeable, punctual and always willing to figure out the best solution rather than simply recommending the easiest or most expensive option. Our home is 120 years old, which comes with plenty of quirks and challenges, and Elite is exceptional at working with older homes. The team has helped us find thoughtful solutions that incorporate great technology and quality products while still making sense for our house. Above all, Juan operates with tremendous integrity. After working with him for nearly eight years, he is someone we completely trust and the first person we call for anything HVAC-related. Highly recommend Elite HVAC!

This review is loooong overdue but I just came across my notes on this fiasco so better late than…read morenever. In May of 2022 I contacted Elite hvac because my AC was not working. The first day (Wed) Frank showed up but he was not able to fix it so he said he could come back the next day. He came back the next day (Thurs) hours after he said he would be there and he still couldn't fix it. He came back a third day (Fri) but he didn't even tell me when he arrived I just knew bc I saw he had set up his ladder and then after awhile I go check on him and he's gone, didn't tell me when he arrived and didn't tell me he was leaving. I called the company and they reached out to see where he was and he said he had left to another job but that he would come back and finish. Later this same day on Friday I get a text saying someone else was going to come the next morning. I had not been informed of this before the text so I was not able to be home as I had plans. Frank then texts me on Saturday saying he has all the parts he needs now and was heading over to fix it. I have no idea what he did that day as I was not home. Then I get a text Saturday night that Frank was going to come on Monday (again I never agreed to this date). So I wasn't there Monday but I know Frank did show up bc when I got home later that day my fuse box was out and he didn't even tell me! Luckily I don't recall my food or anything going bad even tho it was super hot out. That was Monday when the fuse box went out. Then on FRIDAY I get a text from Frank telling me that my AC should be up and running and that oh by the way my breaker tried. DAYS later he lets me know that my breaker tripped. So at this point it had been over 1 week since he started working on my AC and it was still not working. So then Wednesday (2 weeks after the initial appointment) they finally sent a different person, Raul. He got there on time and started everything from the beginning. He fixed it within minutes and even waited awhile to make sure it actually cooled. He also took my payment for the part that Frank had "fixed". I'm convinced I probably didn't even need the part but at this point they had been out there like 6 times so they probably didn't want to back track. Then five days later my AC stopped working again and this time the owner Juan was able to come out the next day and fix it quick. He said it was a loose wire. So all in all it took 3 weeks with Elite to get my AC working again. Glad Raul and Juan were able to fix it promptly the times they did go out instead of Frank but not a great overall experience on my end.
