Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-05).

What reviewers think

Atco's field technicians consistently earn praise for quick response, professionalism, and hands-on problem solving-often within hours and including after-hours emergency calls. Yet the experience fractures at the phone line and billing desk: customers report rude representatives, confusing fee structures (such as $99-120 charges for meter readings), and frustration with mandatory service windows that ignore small business hours. The rating split (67% five-star versus 33% one/two-star) reflects this divide between on-site excellence and office friction.

Recent shift: The business appears to be a gas utility misclassified in a solar directory. Recent reviews (past year) remain split between five-star field service praise and one-star complaints about billing, phone staff, and company policy. No shift detected.

Most customers praise Mark's willingness to troubleshoot after hours and his installers' professionalism, especially with off-grid and battery systems. But two detailed complaints describe critical failures: panels left half-disabled for over two years after a roof repair, and a battery system installed that didn't meet stated requirements, with Mark reluctant to take responsibility until threatened with regulatory action.
