Latest good review thumbs up

Outstanding Company

From my first contact with Tom Ferraro through flipping the switch to solar, I can't imagine a better experience. Tom and my project manager made sure that I was kept informed of the schedule and progress every step of the way. They answered all my questions and responded promptly to any concern. I highly recommend Carolina Energy Conservation for anyone who is considering going solar.

Not enough light

I had 2 solar tubes installed. They were both installed on the same roof pitch. One works great and lets in a lot of light. The other one, not so much. I expressed my dissatisfaction at the auto show. They said someone would call me. The guy Fred that called said he was calling to set up an appointment to send someone out for a quote(sales call). I told him it wasn’t a sales call but to check out a problem. Je said he would be sending someone out to look at it, but as I suspected, the guy (Peter)said it was installed properly and was nothing wrong with it. I said I needed to talk to someone else. They finally sent Mary the sales girl out. At first she said there was nothing wrong with it, that they both had the same amount of light coming in. (They do not!) When I argued that point, she then said it’s probably the tray ceiling. However the tray ceiling is up much higher than the one in the kitchen which would allow more diffusing of the light, not less. Which is it, it is fine, or it’s the tray ceiling. Basically backpedaling to not admit there is something wrong. Not a happy customer!

Great company to do business with!

From first contact to achieving routine operation and monitoring of my 8.6kw home solar system, the folks at CEC have been professional, courteous, helpful and competent. No hard sell; just sound advice reviewing options, specifying the best system for my home, completing the install, startup and achieving routine operation. Performance has been as predicted, and I'm certain I made a good financial and environmental investment. I highly recommend Carolina Energy Conservation to anyone considering a home solar installation. Jim & Julia Parker

Great work; excellent staff | Pawleys Island, South Carolina | 04/24/2019

CEC's outstanding job in removing and replacing our solar system

We chose CEC because a sub-unit of CEC had taken care of the maintenance of our old PV system which was installed in 2008/09 by a company that since went under. We were extremely satisfied with the maintenance/cleaning job.

Great company!

Carolina Energy Conservation was the company that installed my solar panels. Eddie, Josh, and Tito were the installers. Eddie was the leader and displayed leadership qualities of many much older. Josh has many of the same qualities and could have been the leader. I am sure will be soon. Tito was always busy seemingly knowing what to do and how to do it. My questions, no matter how elementary, were answered by any of the guys with comprehension and clarity. The job went flawlessly and the crew cleaned-up every day. Carolina Energy Conservation is a class act. From Paul in sales, to contact person Brian, to the on site crew, Communications was a priority among all those involved with my job. They are a good company with good workers and a good product.

Installer Crew Review

I just want to say how impressed we have been from day 1 throughout the entire install process. John, Eddie, George, Josh & Fito have done a great job in both communicating everything they are doing and going the far extra mile in the detail of their work. These guys have been great. Thanks very much for all your hard work!

Helpful and trustworthy

They were upfront throughout the entire process and helped me deal with all the hoops from the power utility, HOA, etc. Once the installation team came, Eddie, Josh, Tito, and George did a great job and finished everything in under 3 days. The panels look great and are working well - I'm on track to save over 63% on my power bill this month.

Brand new install

The installers: Eddie, George, John were very respectful, The finished product looks good. Needs inspection and Horry electric to start as of 9/20/2018. Hurricane Florence didn't help on the timeline. But the next door neighbor having the same units tells me they do VERY well during high winds...70+ here. Thanks, Guys

I would recommend them to Everyone

I can't say enough good things about the company, we were the first in our new neighborhood to purchase solar panels and they worked diligently through the HOA Approval process and didn't give up which took more that 6 months. As soon as we got the approval they squeezed us into the schedule so we wouldn't have to wait any longer. The employees that came to the house were wonderful as well. Each of them, Eddie, John, Tito, Josh and George were all courteous and went above and beyond. Thank you to everyone that worked on our project.

Installation

Eddie, Tito, Josh and George were prompt and professional. They let me know what to expect with the installation and completed the job in the time frame quoted. They were very informative and answered all of my questions. I am extremely satisfied with the job they did and would strongly recommend Carolina Energy Conservation to anyone looking to go solar and having it done right the first time.

Sandra LaGasse

Eddie, John, Tito, Josh, and George did our installation and they were very prompt and professional. They knew their jobs and answered questions throughly about the installation. We were very pleased to get bios and pictures of the crew before they showed up. They cleaned up after service. Fred was the salesman and was never pushy on the sale. Thank you all for a wonderful job.

Happy in Longs | Longs, South Carolina | 08/02/2018

Thorough and prefessional

Where to start? Eddie, John, Tito, Josh and George were here for about 2/12 days installing 20 panels. All of them were very, very good at their jobs. They kept me informed, answered my questions and I wound up with a very neat, professional installation. It started with Paul, the account rep. Very knowledgeable and personable – no pressure. He attended a meeting with members of my HOA and provided them with sample guidelines. Once I decided to go ahead with the panels, Fred kept me informed of the status of permits and delivery of the panels. Eddie was lead. John handled the monitoring part. Tito and Josh got stuck with the grunt work and did it superbly. George is an electrician and has a contractor license - he managed the actual hookup to my electrical pane and dealt with the county inspector. Altogether a fantastic crew. Couldn't be more pleased.
