Excellent customer service

From the start, my Solar Savers representative made sure I had all the information I needed to make a decision, and then worked with me to make sure I got the best deal and system size specific to my preferences and needs. Inspection and installation were totally painless, getting everything done on time to my schedule, without making a mess or creating a hassle. Got the system turned on just a few days after installation, with the final inspection taking only few minutes - which was great, no hassle! I immediately noticed a difference on my electric bill which included only a partial period with the system turned on. Although my household is getting larger, the bill is dropping dramatically already. Can't wait to see how much am going to save over the summer when the AC gets put into use 24/7. One thing I didn't consider in advance, is that my homeowners insurance took a measurable hike. Everything considered, my experience so far is very positive. The guys who put in the system were professional, did a clean job, and my salesperson made sure I was comfortable about moving forward without being pushy. I've had the system for a couple months now, and look forward to saving money most of all. By the way - looks great on the house, too!

Solar Install

Future Energy Savers provided very good service during the installation of the system. The crew was very efficient and considerate. However, because the battery that I ordered for energy storage was back ordered, there was a month delay in getting the entire system running properly. This delayed the PTO from SCE. Now that the system has been operational for a couple of months, the delays seem less important. As the final details were worked out, customer service was responsive.

Happy solar customer

We weren't really in the market for solar, but once we saw the benefits laid out, it only made sense to go for it. Our representative was knowledgeable and friendly. The installation was fast and easy. Our questions were answered quickly. We're happy with our purchase and with saving money each month.

Future Energy Experience

My wife and I are very happy with our experience with Future Energy Savers. They didn't try to hard sell us or press us for something we didn't want. They also move incredibly fast, from the time we signed to the final installation of the panels it was a told of one week. Our power bill is way down and we couldn't be happier.

Great work

The team arrived ahead of schedule and were done a lot sooner than I had even thought possible. When everything was installed I received instructions on the electrical panels that were installed and could right away that I was reversing my electricity use. At the final inspection, I had a few questions that were answered. Since installation I have not had to pay for electricity. I appreciate that the panels are discreet and less noticeable than most of the solar panels I see on other homes.

Great Company and USA based panels

Dale from Future Energy Savers laid out the systems in an easily explainable manner. He also confirmed the panels were made in the USA (Oregon) . We had looked at many systems prior to meeting Dale and they were all made by a Chinese company even though their advertising stated made in Malaysia the main factory was Chinese. Also the warranties were more limited than Dales' company. Future energy savers has been in business a long time in our area of Northern California and we expect them to still be in business for a good while longer. The installation crew and everyone, we had contacts with were very professional. The installation of our 5kw system took about half a day. PG&E took a bit longer than two weeks to enable the system in our billing.

Very Happy Solar Customers!

This was not a hard pressure sell, we had other solar companies approach us and then walk away because we have a metal roof on our home. Future Energy Savers were professional, efficient, effective and they guarantee everything. They have superb customer service for questions. We called them and they came out when we were trying to make sure changes we were making to our electric system in our house wouldn't interfere with the solar panel system. They made it very easy to make the switch! The installation was easy. We were not given panels we couldn't use or pay for - we have a system that fits our need as a family. The installation team came in the morning when they said they would, and they finished up in one day. No fuss, no mess, and no clean-up left behind. The installers also were very helpful when connecting our system to our wi-fi system for monitoring the solar panel system. It is guaranteed for the duration we own the house. We couldn't be happier.

Our New Solar System

We are new Future Energy Solar customers and we couldn't be happier. The process was simple, efficient and very effective in saving us money on our electric bill. The process was very simple and it was wonderful to know that the solar panels were made here in the US. They protect and guarantee the system from parts to labor for the whole of our 20 years with the system. They have come to our house twice when asked because we were having trouble with our electric system in our home and we did not want it to conflict with the solar panel system. They are a direct contact company! We had other solar providers ask about providing solar and they were leasing companies and could not put their solar panels on our metal roof. Future Solar can put their panels on our metal roof, any roof even. They did not give us a huge system that we would grow into - they provided a system that fits our needs with the idea that if we were to need more panels, we could get them later. They are always willing to answer questions and have been extremely helpful, positive and wonderful about customer service. You will not regret doing business with them and we wish all businesses would follow their model. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Future Energy Solar!!!

Estimates are free, worth looking into as rates rise

Found Future Energy at the county fair, and estimates are free so we gave them a try. Kevin came to the house for the sales estimate. Next, Jesus (engineer and project manager) came to physically verify the estimate provided (no google earth). Our house was built in 1924 but has been remodeled with a new roof and upgraded electrical service, which made it an excellent candidate for solar. We should be "hands free" for the next 20-30 years. The city and utility approval process take the longest, be patient.

Solar panels Installation

My experience with Future Energy Savers was positive. Dale came for the initial consultation, he was very informative and I could tell that he liked what he does. He spent a lot of time answering my questions and was honest when I asked him about other companies. The installation went well. The guys installing the system were very knowledgeable and didn’t mind taking time to explain each step they were doing and why it had to be done that way. The company handled all the paperwork very efficiently. Every time I called the office, I was treated like I was a very important person and they bent over backwards to connect me with the right person to answer any questions that I had. Overall, I was very pleased with the system I purchased. Did I pay more than if I had gone with another company? Probably not, but I like the fact that they are family- owned company that has been doing solar for long time, uses American made solar panels and doesn’t use subcontractors for their work, including the roof work. Those factors were very important to me. We got the ball rolling really fast, solar panels were installed very quickly. The system was working the same day. This was super exciting moment for us. So, literally our system was installed and our house hold running on solar power in 16 days. Afterward the City and P&GE had to do their inspections (of course they aren’t as fast) but we had everything complete and our final meeting with Future energy within 3 weeks We have a monitoring system to see our production and consumption, which we can compare to PGE online so it’s great, we feel in control and can avoid any surprises!!! The final meeting was with Cody, who continued to provide excellent service and documentation of their install for future reference.

Quality and professionalism

Our experience with Future Energy Savers was exceptional. They were able to create a solar plan that fit our needs, arrange financing and install the system all in one week! Every employee we worked with was friendly and patiently explained each step of the process. They even helped us move a large shelf in the garage to make room for the panel. We are very happy with the quality of the workmanship and especially like that the panels are barely visible on the roof. We would recommend using Future Energy Savers for your solar needs.

Happy about making the switch!

In addition to the savings I feel great about making my house more sustainble and friendly to the earth! I've also grown pretty addicted to the apps with which I can track my home's solar output and if you sign up you probably will too! Future Energy Savers have been just a phone call away throughout the entire process; I recommend them to anyone trying to improve the value and efficiency of their home!

My father went with future energy savers, and I saw how smooth and quick the process was to be setup with solar, so I decided to go the same route. I could not have had a better experience, from the time I sat down and was explained the process and what kind of system I would require, to signing paperwork and the techs coming out and installing, it was a breeze. I even had a inverter go bad and all it took was a quick call and a few days later it was replaced. I would recommend future energy savers if you are in the market for solar.

Finally, Solar!

Well, we finally pulled the trigger on solar, and we are very glad we did! Even as the very professional installers were busy with the system installation, our power company (a huge company out here near the PACIFIC, for both GAS and ELECTRIC) was rolling out significant tier increases. It's hard to imagine how good it feels knowing that a big portion of the money I used to pay to them is now going to pay off my own little personal power system! One of the primary reasons we didn't get solar long ago was due to our confusion over the process. How big a system do we need? How efficient will it be? How long will it take? We met with several local solar companies, and never really felt comfortable. Well, right from the beginning, Future Energy Savers made us feel comfortable. From the salesman to the installation to the follow-up visit, it was plain talk and following through with what they told us they would do. The sales people gave us straight answers, the installers were on time and completed the project in one day, and the paperwork was way less stressful than it could have been. Start to finish, right around three weeks! Best of all, we've already seen significant reductions in our energy use. Yay! Finally, we have solar!

Fantastic Service Overall

After deciding to pursue solar, Future Energy was the fourth company we received a pitch from. (One company wasted our afternoon with a sales pitch and never got back to us with the price!) If you're thinking about installing solar (and now is the time to do it because the tax credit goes away soon), skip the sales pitches from other companies and just reach out to Future Energy. Every aspect of the experience was outstanding. The pitch from Dale was low-key and well-delivered. The roof assessment was quick and thorough. The two technicians who handled the installation started and finished early. Financing was easy. Customer service was responsive and friendly. In short, THIS is the way every company out there should be operating. We've been really happy with our decision to go green and Future Energy was so easy to work with.

Solar Panel Installation

Scheduled an appointment with Future Energy Savers after meeting a representative at a Earth Day event. Kevin explained the options available to us, the differences between the solar panels, answered all our questions and recommended a 4kW system for our house. We decided to go with a panel that would increase the roof guarantee from 10 to 25 years. They offered to work with our homeowner's association but we choose to do that piece ourselves. Everyone that we talked to or met with was friendly and professional from our initial appointment to the close out meeting at project completion. Our system was installed in less than a day. The only slow part of the project was waiting for SMUD to do their part but we were warned about that before we signed our contract. We are looking forward to lower electric bills for years to come.

We are pleased to share our experience with Future Energy Savers. From the initial presentation to the completion of installation, Future Energy's representatives and staff were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We did not feel any undue pressure from them to commit to going solar. Rather, they were thorough in their explanations of the tax advantages, installation process, and, of course, the benefits of producing energy and significantly lowering our monthly SCE bill. They continue to monitor our system and have already made a service call to correct a malfunction. We are delighted with the results and would be happy to recommend Future Energy Savers to anyone considering going solar.

Love our Solar

For years we considered having a solar system installed on our home. We talked with sales representatives from several companies and ultimately decided to go with Future Energy Savers. We are glad we did! Our sales representative, Kevin Gaskins, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave a low-pressure presentation, thoroughly explaining how solar works and the superior quality of the American-made panels his company installs, each panel with its own inverter. The system is working great, looks great, and is actually generating more power than the system was designed to produce. We really like using the app for monitoring the production and functioning of our energy system, and we really appreciate the company’s assistance in obtaining financing for the project. We are pleased to recommend Future Energy Savers to anyone and have already done so to our inquiring neighbors. Daniel and Lori Cripe, Antelope
