General Contractor in Upstate New York

We decided to go solar, and Tesla recommended Home Upgrade Specialist as a premium installer. They installed our solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 3, handling all the permitting smoothly here in Burbank. They even painting the solar conduit for wiring to match our house. From start to finish, the estimator, project manager, installers, and even the company president were all professional, responsive, and easy to reach. Communication was excellent. The system was also a great value — their pricing was reasonable, and adding solar increases your home’s value by about 4%, so it pays for itself immediately. Even if you sold your home the next month, you’d come out ahead. The Powerwall 3 gives us peace of mind during blackouts — it’s like having a UPS for your entire house. I couldn’t recommend Home Upgrade Specialist more highly. A++++ experience!

I had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and transparent throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent, and they handled all permits and inspections seamlessly. The workmanship was top-notch, and the system is performing exactly as promised. I highly recommend them to anyone considering solar. Thank you for making the transition to clean energy simple and stress free

We have been running our AC since the weather has been so hot and humid of late and notice this wheezing whenever the it would start up. Turns out one of the filters have not been changed since who knows when. 😳🤪. We called Home Upgrade Specialist, since we have used them before, and Daniel was able to come out today. Daniel was informative, professional, courteous and efficient. While he was at it he replaced an old capacitor. So we're up and running. Thank you Home Upgrade Specialist and Daniel! You're our go-to for any HVAC/Heating issues-but hopefully not in the near future.😛

Background: I contracted homeupgradespecliasts for a new AC installation. I did my due diligence beforehand and was impressed by how competitive their offer was , on top of the fact that they offered all the top brands. I also wanted to do everything by the code and unlike some other companies they actually encouraged applying for city permits. They filled the applications quickly and from the day I signed the contract till the installation there was only a few days delay. Day of: I wanted to install the AC on the roof so I needed a crane. They scheduled everything. Everyone was on time and everything was schedule to a T. Crane showed up on time, the crew were professional and courteous and everything was finished in just one day! Inspections and rebates: The inspections and rebates is were their customer service really shined. It took a few rounds of scheduling to get the inspector to come to my house and verify everything. It took almost ONE YEAR for my rebate application to get processed. During this time, they were very responsive to my calls and in multiple instances provided and updated the documentation that the city had asked for. 5 star customer service here. My only recommendation for the team is monitoring the corp email more frequently. Having said that, my phone calls were always answered promptly!

As first-time solar customers, we had a lot of questions, but they walked us through everything. We worked with Sefi, who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Communication was always prompt and clear, which we really appreciated. The solar app they helped us set up makes it easy to track our energy production. They helped us take advantage of the federal tax credit and explained all the financing options clearly. They made the switch to solar totally stress-free.
