Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

As an insurance agent and insurance advisor, Michael was awesome for my clients. He drives to your home to help add in  charging stations for electric cars like Tesla, Chevy Volt, and the Nissan Leaf. My clients live all over Phoenix, such as Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert and Scottsdale.

I am so happy I met Michael!

LightDay solar has an amazing battery pack for saving non peak energy to disperse during your peak hours to save energy costs for those that don't want to rely on  SRP or APS.

Last year Dillon Holmes of Cambio installed the solar panels at our retail location in Phoenix, cutting our electric bill in half. After the state and federal credits and the depreciation on the equipment, we're looking at a return of our initial investment in 7 years. Dillon continues to monitor our output and if anything appears to be below expected production levels, he's out there to check our equipment and resolve any issues. This was definitely a good investment and a good choice of vendors.

I am so happy I went with Noonday. Everyone is trying to get you to go solar but Noonday offered me the best deal, service, and quality. I've saved so much money and now will own my energy in the future. They answered all my calls and were patient with me (not pushy). Also the install was super fast. They offered me the lowest deal I had seen yet and were very professional. The process was fast, easy, and stress free. I would highly highly recommend!! Great quality and service!!

Fantastic service and quick availability! I found myself in a bind and hired J Ryan Electric based on a referal. The techs were on time, went the extra mile and when I got my bill I was relieved they were fair with their pricing and didn't add on silly and absorbent fees. Once again, going local pays off. I would highly record J Ryan!!

Nathan from Advanced Solar Technologies is the best! I've never seen anyone from any companies that's so nice, so kind and always willing to help like him.

I really appreciate the time he spent to help me with everything. Thank you so much Nathan! Wish you all the best!

Mike is the epitome of professional and good business ethics. He went above and beyond to ensure we were getting optimal solar usage and came back on his own time to fix a repair under warranty which was not his responsibility. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I wish every industry had more like him. Highly recommend.

Kyle was great. He has been out twice. The first time he took a part out of stock and the second time he had the part he needed. Both times he came out the same day I called!
He is a complete professional and the Co is lucky to have him!

Tony came to our house for a consultation, mind you, we just had some questions about an improper installation and were looking for some answers. He didn't have to do this but he did it anyway.
He is extremely  knowledgeable, extremely friendly and you can tell his sincerity is real. He wasn't trying to SELL me. He was trying to EDUCATE me and gave me the information we were looking for.
If solar is what you are looking for, I would recommend Brilliant Solar Solutions above any others. You'll get what you need and I believe you'll avoid any problems you may have from other Solar companies.

We had AES install rooftop solar 5 years ago and was completely satisfied with the design and installation. When we had a minor problem with a new style inverter used on our array, AES sent out an electrical engineer to solve the issue. It's worked perfectly since. Our monthly electric bills have averaged $16 per month since installation!! Thanks guys for a job well done.

If I could give this company zero stars that's where I would rate them. Their company provides zero customer service. They never follow up with any of their customers and when there is something malfunctioning prepare for a long wait (I'm not taking weeks, I'm talking months)We definitely will not be using this company for any future service needs either! The company reply to my review came two years after my review was written so their customer service team is about as fast as their service department. Take your money to a company who values and wants to keep their customers. You won't find that at American solar that's for sure!

N.E.R.D. Power the one to trust.  They offer a complete solution compared to the other guys Solar System.

These systems are engineered to meet the home or business owners needs optimizing system capacity with demand.  Their goal is to design a system that fits both physically and financially.  Ultimately allowing you to pay yourself by offsetting your power bill just enough for the system to pays for itself.

What makes N.E.R.D Power stand apart from the rest?  They are not just selling solar systems.  They are providing you with a complete package that address many of the concerns related to switching to solar power.  

Programs listed below with brief descriptions.

This leads me to the big question on everyone's mind; How much and what I'm I paying for?  My answer: you are paying for excellence.  

I have been working as a professional in the technical industry for several decades and have yet to see a program that is this well put together that I did not personally oversee.  N.E.R.D Power has put some real though into all aspects of the project.  From selecting the right Solar System to how to mitigate the new associated charges from your Electric Company.

Their solar system is 100% home grown in the USA.  Everything from the panels to the monitoring service.

N.E.R.D Powers pricing in on point.  There is very little markup in materials and no extravagant fees that I can see associated with the purchase.  The only place I could see anyone really saving money is in the finance fees if you wanted to seek financing elsewhere or pay cash.  

Other companies may claim they can save you money and might be telling you the truth.  However, my experience is companies like that cannot deliver what they promise because the are counting on sub-contractors for follow through.  

Every person I have spoken to proudly wears the N.E.R.D power logo.  This happens to be the only way to ensure quality from start to finish.  Most importantly I have yet to encounter a disgruntled employee.  Being a manager myself this leads me to believe they all believe in what they are doing.  Hats off to you N.E.R.D Power.

This program inspects, seals and adds insulation to attic spaces.  

Over time as building settle and air gaps are created in attic spaces.  

Sealants break down in your ducts with the constant expansion and contraction of material with the constant change of the temperature.

Here in the greater Phoenix Are R38-49 is recommended and most builders only install R19.  This is starting to change with new construction but was the standard for the last several decades.

We purchased a tiny home that had an off grid system hooked up to it so we called new grid to come out and see if we were hooked up correctly.  We paid the $250 for the consultation and had two guys come out to look at the system.  I also wanted to get some extra batteries installed and a few other upgrades to make sure we were good for off grid living.  Everything seemed to be hooked up correctly is what the two guys from new grid determined.  I basically only received a printout of the user manuals from them, and certainly never got a follow up on any upgrades.  Seven months later our system failed due to an underpowered inverter (which fried) and our batteries also were unable to hold a charge and were ruined as well.  The company who is now upgrading me immediately noticed several areas that were not hooked up correctly including how the bank of batteries were wired.  I just find it sad how some companies talk the talk on the phone and just fall very short after your check is cashed.  I definitely doubt their solar knowledge and I would recommend taking your money to a more experienced company.

I ordered a complete solar setup and received excellent customer service from each and every employee from sales to warehouse guys.

Also get better prices then Amazon. They also help with all questions on install. Count not have been a better experience.

We live in Tucson so when we called for an appointment to meet with someone from Freedom Forever they sent someone down from the Phoenix area.  His name is Andrew Lyman. He was on time and seemed nice.
We liked him even after his 3 minute brag session about his self driving Tesla!
As it turns out, he "hooked" us into purchasing which is fine because we wanted solar however, we are now realizing, 7 months later that many, many things he told us were lies.  Total BS!
He spoke to us regarding financing which is ridiculous because as it turns out they do not finance the loan and can not speak for the actual loan company.
The installation didn't happen anything like he said it would.  That turned out to be a bit of a cluster but, eventually, it was completed.
The tax break is NOTHING like what he quoted us and lastly, he said to contact him if we ever had any questions. Laughably and I guess what should have been predictably he hasn't helped us with a thing.  
He's moved on like any good, smarmy Sales Person should.
I take some of the responsibility because I really didn't do my due diligence in double checking what he was saying so shame on me.
However, shame on him for adding lie after bold faced lie.  He looked my Husband and me in the eye and lied.
If you like being lied to by all means use this company.  If not, then go elsewhere and please don't make my mistake...double check their promises.

This Review is a special update. Thanks to Southwest Electric for coming through on the items that after reviewing have been updated. I do appreciate their team, hearing me out, taking the time to send someone out and make the updates at no additional cost. They stood by their work, and they made good on their promise. I do appreciate the extra effort in this team to see the work resolved. I do have good things to say, and I would certainly recommend them, Southwest Electric. Thank you.

We signed up for solar in August of 2021 and we were told that the process would take around 2-3 months to complete. We were hoping for October, but understood that it may be November. The plans were drawn up and we waited for APS, our HOA, and the city to approve it. We got approval from the HOA and APS withing the first month and they even sent it back and requested revisions be made to the plan that Envision drew up. (No big deal. These things happen) Envision concluded that we needed a panel upgrade before they could install the panels. I was very patient throughout the entire process because I assume that this industry was experiencing supply chain issues and shortages due to COVID just like a lot of other industries.

We finally received a notification from the company on November 18th 2021 that our electrical panel upgrade would happen on 01/20/2022 at 7:00am and the solar panels would be put on the roof on 01/24 - 01/25. This was the first thing that made me start to worry because we were concerned that since this was going to take place in 2022 instead of 2021, it would prevent us from filing it with our taxes until the following year. (Still not a deal breaker)

For the electrical panel upgrade, they notified us that the power would need to be shut off for 6-8 hours that day. My wife and I work from home, so we had to take the day off and request the following weekdays off for the solar panel installation as well. We got the days approved and made plans to go through food in our refrigerator and not stock up due to the power set to be off for the day. When the day came I awoke at 6am to get ready for the power to be turned off around 7am. Everything seemed to be going to plan until 7am came and went and we were stuck waiting around for a few hours. I gave them a grace period since I assumed it would work that way. At 10am and no sign of the company I called in to check what was going on. The rep I spoke with informed me that they cancelled my electrical panel upgrade THAT morning around 7am. So here we are already taking a day off and then pretty much cancelled on without even knowing it. I had to call in to them to get this information. This immediately upset me and I found it inexcusable to not be told what was happening when it happened, and also to fact that they were able to cancel on the day of. So I felt uneasy even rescheduling because no how can I even trust they won't cancel again?

So now we are already unsatisfied. So far we have already waited 5 months and we still have no solar panels or an electrical panel upgrade and no set date as to when this will get done. Not only that, but this panel upgrade was scheduled in November. So we planned and waited for this for 2 whole months and it was cancelled on the day of.

On February 3rd they notified me that they could do the panel upgrade on 02/09/2022. We declined that date due to a death in my wife's family and funeral proceedings being out of town. The company then told us that 05/02/2022 @ 7am was the next available time for them. We accepted this. There was no way they would mess this up again right? Its February and we have almost 3 months to prepare for this and we already accepted that we came this far now we just want it done at this point.

As we were approaching the date for our panel upgrade I decided to give the company a call to see what's going on to make sure they haven't decided to change something and not tell me again. So on 04/29/2022 I called to just make sure everything was going to plan and they told me that now I was cancelled because the financing I was approved for had expired since this process took so long. They wanted me to reapply for the financing and then reschedule another panel upgrade date. The problem I had with this is the lack of communication. They had cancelled me more than 2 weeks prior and never informed me in any way (email, text, phonecall).

This whole experience was exacerbated due to the fact that my wife lost her grandmother in late February and 2 uncles in January. This family lives in Mexico and in Yuma Arizona and we live in Phoenix AZ. This forced us to use many days off work to commute back and forth frequently during these months. The reason I bring this up is because this means that us taking days off work was extremely valuable this year. So it really pissed me off that nobody from this company communicated these things to me and it caused me to take days off for essentially no reason. It is also just flat out disrespectful not to inform me. It undermines my time and my family. I told this company to just cancel my whole application and that I would not be working with them ever again.

I don't know what their deal is, but this was a serious mismanagement on their part. I am a patient and understanding person, but this was the worst experience I have ever had with a company. I shouldn't have to check that they are doing their job. I trusted them and they flat out failed.
