What reviewers think

Most customers report smooth installations, helpful staff, and solid outcomes, especially those handled by named technicians like Ricardo, Thomas, Blake, and Lloyd. However, a minority face serious friction after purchase: warranty claims delayed or disputed, diagnostic calls charged despite obvious install faults, and support requests going unanswered. The gap between smooth installs and sluggish aftercare is the clearest complaint.

Customers praise honest sizing advice and responsiveness during sales and setup. Named staff like the team and Paul stand out for going beyond standard service. The scale (434 reviews, mostly five-star) and 19-year track record matter to repeat buyers. Yet one fire incident blamed on rushed apprentice work, undiagnosed and eventually charged to the owner, and a separate warranty rejection over grid voltage tolerance raise questions about quality control and good-faith dispute resolution.

Praised for
  • professional installation teams
  • knowledgeable, responsive staff
  • honest product advice
  • efficient system setup
  • strong warranty coverage (when honoured)
Watch-outs
  • poor after-sales communication and follow-up
  • warranty disputes and interpretation

Best for: Repeat buyers and government-rebate applicants who prioritize installation quality and upfront transparency over post-warranty support.
Think twice if: Warranty claims disputes and slow aftercare communication appear in 2-3% of reviews; seek clarification upfront on coverage terms and document everything before signing.

Strengths

  • large team with named installers widely praised
  • handles government rebate and STC applications in-house
  • multi-brand support (Fronius, iStore, others)
  • repeat-customer loyalty despite isolated complaints
