California Energy Consultant Service

Our history with Gary, Jamie, Phil and the rest of the Cal Energy team goes back 15+ years. During that time, we’ve worked with them on the install of Simonton windows in two of our homes, as well as sliders and fiber cement siding in our primary residence. To this day, we continue to get compliments from people who visit our home and see the work that CECS has done. We appreciate that CECS is a locally owned company with a commitment to providing quality products, attractive financing, and good old fashioned service. They clearly care about making happy customers—which is why they’ve continued to be the go-to business for our home energy needs.

This review is for Mike from CESC.
Mike was the consultant assigned for the yearly tune up for my HVAC system installed by CESC. I was so lucky that mike could discover a huge problem of the unit which accumulated water in the drain Pan. Then he did the level adjustments and we waited for couple of weeks. Other than that, He could discover some problems in the mother boards and the fan motor electricity consumptions and he replaced them and made sure everything worked fine. Mike had to visit my system multiple times to get everything corrected and he did a very good job as well as kept me updated on everything in detail. I really appreciate his work as well as the CESC coordination.

Thanks Mike and CESC

The technician Mike serviced my ductless mini split HVAC system and provided excellent service. He was able to return the system to working order, let me know the right maintenance intervals and possible issues, and answer my questions while diagnosing the problem. I will be requesting him again for the next scheduled maintenance.

We are very happy with our new windows! CECS is a great company to work with. We worked closely with Dave who is knowledgeable and professional. The install crew was great and did a super nice job!

I had an issue that was 1/1,000 and left some water damage to the house. It took awhile for CECS and homeowners to work out the finances. When it was all said and done, the owner of CECS still came out, went over everything that happened and went above and beyond to make sure everything was squared away for us. We have had all the windows in our house, and sliding glass door replaced by CECS and would highly recommend them.

For those wondering we went with the top end double pane and gas filled (I think it was argon?) Windows, and the immediate change in temp in the house was noticeable. Cooler in tje summer and warmer in the winter, they were a great upgrade.

This is not your typical review. I am so thankful to Hailey at California Energy Consultant Services. I read their flyer that showcased Simonton products and reached out to them. I explained to them that I had started working with Cornerstone Building Brands out of Parkensburg, WV on August 14, 2021 to try and replace my upstairs half moon bay window that had cracked. Despite my many calls and texts sent for an update of when my window would be ready, this other company failed to communicate with me. That is when I reached out to CECS for help. I spoke to Hailey and explained my situation. Immediately, Hailey Miller along with Jamie Miller and Dottie Higbee all became my advocates. They sent emails to this other company on my behalf and cc'ed me in all of them. With their emails, my window has finally been replaced by the other company. Thank you so much Hailey, Jamie and Dottie for all your hard work and keeping me updated along the way! Even though I was not your customer, you treated me as if I was. I am so grateful! I would certainly call on CECS in the future and would recommend CECS for any future energy efficient upgrades.

We had the pleasure of working with CECS recently for both our windows and our water heater. I probably asked Ben Young a 1000 questions about a new heat pump hybrid water heater, among other projects. Although I didn't end up with quite the right mix of energy efficiency projects to get rebates, Ben had a solid breakdown of options if I added in a couple of other upgrades. Dave Robson fielded at least as many of my questions about new windows and was a joy to work with throughout the process. Their patience was legendary and response times on texts, calls, and e-mails outstanding.
Jason Kompa (Komp Construction) and his son ended up doing the install on the water heater and an EV circuit and were fast, professional, and tidy. They also didn't mind my endless bevy of questions.
On the windows side of the project, Rafael & Ernie were about as tidy as could be with all of the stucco work that needed to be done for our new construction windows. True craftsman! Inside the building, David did a lovely job with the drywall and texture match after we had to alter a couple of minor architectural details.
Turbo (Ismael) and Jose were very efficient with the window install. What's more, when I asked about how to take care of some minor construction messy spots and how to clean them up myself, I came back to find that Turbo took it on himself to clean up messes that weren't his to begin with!
Outstanding service throughout the process, in our estimation. They weren't the lowest bid we received but we'll definitely use them in the future. Finally, I'd note that I've never had a construction project in any house that I've lived in or worked on that didn't have a bump somewhere. Every contractor is great when things are going smooth. The differences I've seen have all come down to how the contractors handled the bumps. With COVID impacts to building material prices, availability, and transport, I can say that these guys handle the oddball issues with the best of them.

We used CECS to replace 21 windows in our house (2 were new builds). Not only were they very competitively priced, they were on time, cleaned up after themselves, and very professional. Gary, the estimator was awesome. Their installer Ismar (aka Turbo) was phenomenal. He kept the job moving on time and even came back to fix two little issued we had. I would HIGHLY recommend this company.

I can't say enough about how amazing this company and their people are. From day one Gary has been a godsend with his wealth of knowledge, professionalism and compassion. I was a little overwhelmed when my air conditioner went out, while trying to find a good reliable company I happened to stumble across California Energy Consultant Services, and I'm so glad I did. Gary has been there to answer my millions of questions, and is always so kind, informative and really cares for his customers. Honestly everyone I've had contact with there has been great. Genevieve was super helpful, assisted with the financing and was there every step of the way. Jessica and Jamie, thank you for all the scheduling and project coordination. There were also two gentlemen that came out for pre-site walk through (I don't recall their names), but they were great as well.
I highly recommend this company for any of your energy needs. I decided to not only go with CECS for my hvac, but multiple other updates as well. I'm a customer for life!!!

Great team from sales to service. Contracted for 14 windows to be replaced due to seals broken and aluminum windows unable to open. Team was very professional, Gary was very informative and I'm glad it wasn't just sales talk. Installer Alonzo and Omar did the replacement and completed the work in a clean and professional manner while providing insights on the new windows.
