I had the pleasure of finding New Leaf on google and Yelp. I first spoke with Brad and Eric. I let them know of a new EV car purchase and they told me exactly what I would need for installing the level 2 charger. Very easy to get on the schedule and Nick showed up exactly on time for install day. He addressed all my questions, made sure to check connections and everything was working before leaving and even triple checked the worksite for any trash or left behind tools. I highly recommend New Leaf! read more

I wanted to update this review. I have had my solar panels for four years and they have been great! I had to call New Leaf on a warranty issue and they were quick to respond and very easy to work with. They stand by their product and installation and the amazing customer service I received made me so glad I chose to go with New Leaf for my solar installation! read more

Most straightforward and easy transaction in my new home move. Thanks Eric and Greg Arrived in time , completed on time and easy payment options read more

I had a Wallbox Level 2 EV charger installed in my garage by New Leaf Electric. Eric provided a quote, answered my questions, and scheduled the installation. The installer showed up on time, explained what he was going to do, and finished the installation in a couple of hours without having to shut off power to my house. The charger works great, and it passed the code inspection. The cost was exactly as quoted. Thank you! read more

The whole crew at New Leaf has been great to work with. They installed a car charger for our new electric car and it has worked great. During the install, power got cut to another device but New Leaf came out right away to resolve the issue. I highly recommend these guys. Super easy to work with, professional, and reasonably priced. read more

Updated review: Eric, the owner, waived my $500 owed. He took ownership over the situation, I honestly don't think he was aware this salesperson was taking advantage of me. That said, it's his company, I am no longer eligible for an old net metering system, and it was a really frustrating experience. They have lots of good reviews, this is obviously an outlier. All I wanted was a solar system for my property while the old net metering system was in place before April 15. Instead I was misled into contract for a huge, unnecessary system and was ignored when I inquired for months about the system needs and requirements. Now I'm paying to get out of contract because I no longer trust this company, I wasted my chance to get in under the old system. I feel completely taken advantage of. New Leaf was recommended by a very smart and trusted friend, so I put way too much faith in them. It's my own fault for not looking at all my sdge bills and realizing that the system they got me in contract for would produce about 300% of my current needs. After getting in contract and getting a very high %APR loan of 10%, I started asking questions regarding the need for such a large system. I asked very specific questions- they were not answered and I never heard from anyone for about 3 months after the site survey. I thought they were not interested in doing the project because I had so many questions about the need for so many panels. Then they wanted to get started again, they said I needed a new electric panel, I asked if we could do a system that would work with the 100 amp panel instead of upgrading to 200. I was not told the size of the system they could put on that panel despite asking many times, I was told I wouldn't be happy with that system on the 100amp. Finally after getting no answers, not having access to my contract or loan details, I told them I didn't want to proceed. Now I'm stuck paying $500 for the site survey. To summarize, they tried to sell me a system that was way too big, refused to answer questions about the need for that size system, if we could reduce the size, if we could use the 100 amp panel, and when I became uncomfortable with the straight up dishonesty, I'm told I have to do it or pay $500 to get out. Needless to say my wife is not impressed. These guys are used car salesmen. I'm paying the $500 and moving on with my life read more

I've worked with Eric and New Leaf on a few different occasions and every time they have been great. They most recently installed an inverter and it was smooth start to finished. Their pricing was reasonable and communication was top notch. read more

Eric is the real deal. Knowledgeable, communicative, and polite. He worked with me over a couple days solving a small issue with my EV charger/breaker and I was absolutely impressed with his willingness to jump into the problem and find the solution quickly. Three days later and my problem is solved and the family has found a new electrician should we need any services in the future. read more

Outstanding installed New Leaf Electric, by Nick - he installed my new BMW EV charger professionally. Very knowledgeable electrician and his work ethic is Superb. Without hesitation I will hire this company again. Great Job New Leaf Electric - Eric the owner helped me from the initial consult to scheduling and install. read more

No existing customer service. Poor communication and overall bad value compared to other vendors. Do your due diligence and don't be fooled by fake 5 stars ratings. There are plenty other solar operators to choose from. read more

Buyer beware. This company was recommended to install a Tesla wall-mount charger. All good, except ... they installed a defective circuit breaker which created a meltdown in my electrical panel. After replacing that breaker (which was supposed to solve meltdown issue), there was another meltdown. Lo and behold, I was told I needed a new, more powerful electrical box to protect against my home potentially burning down. Why this wasn't mentioned before or after the first meltdown is anyone's guess. So, I had the box replaced for more than $3,000. Now the charger is defective and I'm told I have to pay $250 for them to swap out the old one for a new wall-mount that's in my possession. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Needless to say, I've hired a different company to replace the charger. I hate writing reviews like this, but enough is enough. read more

We worked with New Leaf to install our Tesla Wall Connector. Their team was very responsive and informative over email while setting up our appointment and answering our questions. The tech who installed our system was Sean and he was very knowledgeable and professional. The charger was installed in just under two hours in the exact position we hoped for in the garage. (We had limited wall space and he was able to make it work!) I will definitely recommend New Leaf for anyone needing EV charger install. read more

Eric installed a 40 amp charger for my new (first) electric car. His advice was great going through the process and the quote was competitive. When it came to getting the work done, all went very smoothly and they were done in a day, with everything cleaned up too. Charger is working great. Very happy to recommend them - I'd certainly use them again. read more

New Leaf electric installed my electric car charger. I was so pleased with their service that I asked them to bid for our solar installation. They won the bid with good value per kW hour. The install was done in 1 day and the system turned on a week later. Great customer service, and great value. A company that understands integrity. read more

Complete waste of time with Eric and New Leaf Electric. Submitted photos, had multiple email/text exchanges. Eric came to my residence in order to finalize the estimate. One week later I receive an email stating New Leaf is "too busy and does not have the bandwidth" in order to complete the job nor could they recommend any other electrician to do the job. Astounding how New Leaf is on SDG&E's list of qualified electricians for installation of home chargers. Stay busy Eric. read more

They recently installed a level 2 EV charging station at my house, including taking care of the city permit and inspection. I didn't really shop around, so I can't speak to the price. But the electrician did excellent work, and while he was down in my crawl space, he took photos to alert me to subpar work that had been done by previous electricians. read more

New Leaf replaced 2 micro inverters in our solar system. They were the most responsive/reliable of all the companies I inquired with. The owner, Eric, was very helpful in scheduling us quickly and gaining access to our enphase account to make sure the system was properly reporting after the repair. We will absolutely work with New Leaf again and highly recommend them! read more

Long time overdue review for this excellent owner and company. Eric installed a new outlet and EV charger at my house for a very competitive price. He was very professional every step of the way and he knows his craft well. He took care of city inspection arrangements for the new outlet and hook up. The whole process was seamless, I was up and charging my car fairly quickly. Fast forward a few years later, I contacted him via e-mail since I was having problems with my charger and he helped me trouble shoot it over e-mail at no extra charge! He could've come out and charged me for an easy fix but instead just walked me through a few steps over e-mail which fixed my problem. I offered to pay but he declined any payment. What a stellar guy and service. Highly recommended!!! read more

New Leaf Electric - Level 2 charger - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

The New Leaf team did an A+++ job installing our new solar system and charging station. All the way from the initial consultation (various panels, options, etc.) through the installation and set up, everyone was so polite, prompt and professional. It is obvious that they care deeply about doing the job right and keeping the customer aware of the progress along the way. I unhesitatingly recommend New Leaf Electric to anyone looking for professional electrical and/or solar work. read more

I recently got a Tesla wall connecter installation done by New Leaf and I highly highly recommend them. I reached out to all top rated electricians and they asked for panel pictures but none of them ever took a look at them and sent me back a generic response and incorrect circuit breaker placement. All Tesla certified, overpriced and unfortunately not detail oriented (in their assessment of the project). Eric's detailed response and his attention to my questions made all the difference for me. His was the only response where he noticed and asked me about an existing 60amp breaker (among other things). He is very responsive, clarifies all the questions, technical or non technical, you can have (my email thread with him is almost at 50 messages), is timely and his electrician Nick did a very clean installation. Also, priced better compared to each one of Tesla certified (although that made no difference in my choice). Initially I was hesitant in reaching out to New Leaf due to them not being in Tesla certified list but glad that I did. Trust me, they are the best (just send an email and you'll know the difference). Thank you Eric and team, for the great service and I hope it continues to be so for the future customers. read more

New Leaf did a removal and replacement of my existing solar system. Other companies wanted to sell me something new and Erik was honest and upfront. He told me the system is dated but still works fine and would be a waste to upgrade. He is a straight shooter and an honest guy. I highly recommend. read more

Eric explained everything. We did a face time video and I showed him the distance between the garage and the breaker panel. He gave me a formal proposal. Nick the installer came out and did a great job. read more

While I didn't chose them for my project, they were very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely call them in the future.

Nailed it! These guys are the best. I've interacted with a ton of subcontractors when building my house and these guys were hands down the most responsive, knowledgeable and friendly crew I worked with. They also totally nailed it on the panels and installation. It is hard to find people that care anymore and they do! read more

New Leaf Electric - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

We had our solar, electrical panel, and car charger outlet installed by New Leaf a little over a year ago. Prior to hiring them, we received quotes from several companies. New Leaf wasn't the least expensive, but we felt they offered the best value. Brad worked with us to secure our first choice of materials, which was impressive given supply-chain constraints. The electrician, Nick, really took the time to understand how we were hoping the install would look, and is an expert at what he does. A year later, we got our True Up from our utility company and the solar produce almost exactly what was projected, which covered our entire electric bill for the year. Brad resolved all the small issues that came up during the process and we got the sense he really cared about us being happy with the end result. In the end, we got a high-quality system, installed well, at a competitive price. I would highly recommend them for your project. read more

These guys were amazing! On time and on budget. Reasonable and the plug looks great!

Recently I had Eric and his team install "Sense" to my electrical cabinet and solar and just like the last time, I did not meet him in person BUT the job was as advertised (actually not true, it was better than advertised). He planned out exactly what needed to be done, ask for my input and then executed the job flawlessly. Love his commitment to his craft and the quality of his work is exceptional. Check out the install pictures for a clean installation. read more

Contacted New Leaf about installing an EV charger. They were super responsive, fit me right in to their schedule, the install was professional and works perfectly. Our experience was so good, we are now working with them to convert our home to solar. Thanks all! read more

Eric and his team are as professional, knowledgeable, and thorough as you will find. They pride themselves on customer service and will go out of their way to make sure your particular needs will be met. In my case, Eric took extra time to personally coordinate a replacement product when mine was clearly delivered in a malfunctioning state. You can count on him to not only ensure that the job is done right, but that the equipment is performing at it's optimal capability. In addition, I found their prices to be the most reasonable around. If you are looking for the best EV charger installer in town, New Leaf Electric is the way to go. read more

Eric is so helpful and very knowledgeable! I hired him to install a wall charger for my Tesla. He is recommended on the Tesla website and that is how I found him. I recommend him based on the following facts: He's friendly and knowledgeable! Affordable Honest (really hard to find nowadays) Completes the job from start to finish ( I didn't need to be present for the inspection, he was there when the inspector came out) Overall I would recommend him over anyone else if you need a wall charger installed for your electric vehicle! read more

I found that New Leaf Electric inc to be very professional and with timely meeting deadlines. They started on the 14th of Dec, finished the next day and I had the county inspection and SDGE ok up and running by Thursday in the afternoon of that week. All of there staff were very knowledgeable and coutyeous in there jobs. They picked up after themselves and left the job site cleaner than when they started. I would differently recommend this company if you need solar installed. P.S. Price quoted was a very nice shock, we put in 25 panels and our cost was around 21000. I had been quoted a couple of years ago 35000 for same job. read more

I was looking for some references in the internet to do the set up for my new EV, found Eric and filled up a simple form with my requirements on one Sunday night, got his reply prompt on Monday early morning, we set up the date and time for inspection, he visited my house, we talked around 20 mins, through out our discussion, I was super impressed with him, below are some key points I have noticed. I am sure any new person will have the same observation about him. As it turned out, the work for which Eric came, was not needed but I am going to consult with him for any future solar power or any EV work for sure. Key take away about interactions with Eric: 1. Very Prompt in reply 2. Very Professional 3. On-time for the appointment 4. Honest and gives his feedback or estimation based on the actual requirements, in our whole conversation, he never tried to over-sell me anything 5. He will give you Multiple Options for the work requested, for me it was 4 options, and the 4th one for my case doesn't need any work, so I opted for that for immediate needs 6. Very friendly and Knows the subject matter 7. He also Shared some information on how to save more with SGDE's "Time Of Use" plans when using EVs and I am going to use that. Overall, A Great Experience, must recommended. read more

Can't remember last time I had Such a wonderful and amazing experience. I had Eric as my contact theu email. Soo responsive , never at one point in time did I ever wonder or feel like he was ignoring me or putting me off .. Nick and Jesus were my installers .. They were in and out within couple of hours. Came in , looked at what they needed to do And got it done .. Level 2 ev charger done and ready to go Thanks guys for wonderful experience And install... read more

Just met Jon sales rep for New Leaf! I can't explain how professional and knowledgeable and polite and detailed he was for my girl and I getting Solar for our Electricity needs in our new Townhouse! I can't begin to explain on how easy and simple he made it for us! He explained everything in extreme detail and gave us the best possible rate! If you're thinking about Solar New Leaf is the brand and Jon is your guy! Hands Down!!! read more

Awesome company to work with start to finish. I had put off inquiring about getting solar panels installed on my home for a while due to not being educated enough on the process and thinking it would be too expensive. I finally took the initiative to schedule a few meetings with local companies and New Leaf was an easy decision. Jon scheduled a meeting at my house and was very knowledgeable on the industry, products, and the process. He was not pushy whatsoever and provided numerous different recommendations to tailor what I wanted. While the process does involve quite a few different inspections and weekdays worth of work, I was able to leave nearly everything to the team who was able to accomplish what they needed while I was at work. They ensured I was kept informed of where we were in the process and have overall great communication. I am beyond pleased with New Leaf and highly recommend them if you are in SoCal and considering solar. My new monthly payment for the system and electric bill will be under half of what I have been paying SDG&E for power...very excited to be saving some money and helping the environment all at once. Thanks again New Leaf!! read more

New Leaf Electric was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Eric was very knowledgeable, professional, and his crew was on time for the installation our solar panels. We purchased 14 solar panels for our house and the whole process took under a month from start to finish with getting permits and approval from the city. Eric explained every step of the process and made it super simple. We love the app where you can see how much energy the panels produce each day. We are so glad we went with New Leaf Electric and will definitely be recommending them to our friends! read more

I started quotation from Yelp to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my new Model Y, but got Eric's information from a home maintenance group. To get a quote for this project, it is recommended to take clear pictures of power panel and position where to install the outlet, so that electricians can estimate the scope of the project. Since my house power panel has no space for additional breaker, they replace on double breaker with quadrat one. Some electrician recommended add a new sub-panel. Owner's choice. Their quote is most reasonable, and Nick came here finished the project in two hours. Story not stop here. I found some outlets were out of power that afternoon, so I called Eric. He expected not because Nick's job on the panel, but agreed to come one early morning to take a look. He checked the panel and found no problem, and traced to one loose outlet. Problem solved and no additional charge. Talking to Eric you and feel he is reliable. That is why I paid him full before he came and check our panel. read more

Although I did not use Eric's services (because I live in an HOA and am currently in the process of trying to get an electric car charging station approved), he answered all of my questions even after business hours. He even provided information on utility programs that did not benefit him in any way, in order to help me. If I ever need an electrician in the future New Leaf Electric will be the first company I go to. Thank you for all the help! read more
