Outstanding Service From Start to Finish

From the moment my solar and Tesla system was being installed, Derek Kirby with EHS (Efficient Home Services) made the entire experience easier. He took the time to walk me through downloading the Tesla app, set everything up, and made sure I understood what I was looking at. He’s respectful, patient, and carries himself with a level of professionalism that honestly stands out. Even though the interconnection with Duke Energy took a while and only went live today, Kirby still stopped by to make sure everything was working the way it should. He walked me through the app again, answered every question, and double-checked the system before he left. There are still a few cosmetic solar issues that need to be addressed, but this review is specifically about Kirby and the effort he puts into his work. His attention to detail and the way he stays on top of things makes a big difference. If you’re looking into solar, I would highly recommend Kirby at Efficient Home Services for your solar needs.

Bad service | Palm Harbor, Florida | 10/31/2025

No service?

EHS installed our solar panels in May, 2024. At the same time, they installed our A/C and heating system. All was well for about a year, and then I had an issue with the heat. I called — no answer. I must have left six or seven voicemails and got no return call. Finally, I called another independent heating service. A year later, again, a problem with the heat. I called EHS. At least someone answered. A very nice woman informed me that no manager was available to review my warranty because they were ALL at an off-site training session. All of them. I expressed my frustration, told her this was my second disappointing experience with EHS. She sympathized and the. Added that they actually no longer offer service to their systems, but they will offer warranty service, hence the need for someone to review my watt see if I qualify for some help. Since the install was about 18 months ago, I apparently do NOT qualify — so why not just tell me that? I called an outside heating and cooling company. I made it clear to EHS that I was unhappy and I would be letting people know what my experience had been.

Warranty

Efficient home services do not honor there warranty. They are very evasive and do not respond and give support after installation

Product and Install a 5! Customer Service and Support a 0!

All the great stuff is for outweighed by their lack of customer service and support after the installation!

Unsafe Wiring, Underperformance, and No Accountability

My experience with Efficient Home Services (EHS) has been a nightmare. The problems aren’t minor — they go to the core of safety, compliance, and honesty. Incorrect wiring: The system was engineered as 9-9-9, but EHS built it as 14/6/7, which violates Enphase’s published maximum of 13 IQ8+ per branch. Enphase confirmed this in writing and even noted cable warping/damage. Performance shortfall: The system has produced under 80% of the contract guarantee (11,957 vs. 15,001 kWh). EHS dismissed this as “normal production.” Backup loads not connected: The critical loads panel was never wired. During an outage, my home loses all power — making the battery useless. Bonus offer never delivered: I was promised a bonus incentive at the time of signing, and despite repeated follow-ups, I still haven’t received it. Customer service: Instead of taking responsibility, EHS tried to charge me a “truck roll fee” to fix their own installation errors. I’ve involved Enphase directly, and they confirmed these are installation/commissioning defects, not hardware problems. At this point, it’s clear EHS puts volume sales ahead of doing the job right — and doesn’t honor commitments to customers. ⚠️ If you are considering solar with EHS, please do your research carefully. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Solar Hook up

Mr. Derrick Kirby completed my Solar hookup and system is now ready to run. He also had to get 2 panels communicating with controller. Derek is very professional and patient with customer (me)! I highly recommend if you are having issues request Derrick from (EHS) he will make sure everything is to your satisfaction. In my estimation (EHS) has a top notch professional with them!

Review for Mr. Kirby

I want to thank Mr. Kirby for his help in getting my solar system up and running properly. Out of all the people we dealt with at EHS he was the most professional, knowledgeable and patient. He was able to diagnose and fix several of the problems left by the installers as well as get us through our TECO inspection. Simply stated, if you have a problem, call Kirby

EHS solar installation

The whole experience with our solar panel installation by EHS was great we especially want to command Kirby for the great job. He did in getting us hooked up with our Tesla app and making everything go smoothly. Also Hayden at the office is to be commended for his responsiveness every time we had an issue thanks again for all your help

No Service

A one week project took 6 months. Awful service after the install. This is a sales company with very little or no service. Unanswered calls and e-mails. I would never recommend them.

Horrible!

It took 8 months from start to finish. They charged me $1000 for the $750 RETE tax package but never paid the money to RETE so I am not able to use their services and the money has not been refunded to me. They also owe me a refund of $4900 which I have been waiting for since December and the manufacture of the solar panels has placed a $12,000 lien on my house because EHS has not paid the balance even though they have the full $54k from me. I cannot get anyone on the phone nor do they return emails. Also, my electric bill is still around $200!
