#517 of 678 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does Anthem Mechanical compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Anthem Mechanical builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Anthem Mechanical reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback, updated September 28, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.0/10

Reviewers often describe the sales and proposal process as clear, informative, and low-pressure, with enough explanation to support an informed decision. Complaints are present but relatively limited, and they tend to focus on upsell concerns, premature replacement recommendations, or a mismatch between what was described and what was delivered.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Low-pressure guidance. Many reviewers say the sales team explained options clearly and did not push unnecessary upgrades or replacements, which helped them feel comfortable moving forward. Representative review excerpt: "No pressure to upgrade or replace things unnecessarily- just solid service and good advice."

Helpful technical explanations. Some customers report that representatives were knowledgeable about system options and gave them the information needed to make an informed choice. Representative review excerpt: "The sales rep was well-educated about ,not just Anthem's specific product line, but how all air conditioning and heat pump systems work."

Replacement or upsell concerns. A smaller set of reviews says the sales approach felt too aggressive or that the delivered equipment or service did not match what was represented. Representative review excerpt: "It almost feels like “what you ordered online, and what you got” The unit was a sold as amazing new technology “top shelf” I got the placebo version I guess."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency4.7/10

This is one of the weaker areas in the review set. While some customers say pricing was fair or that extra charges were explained upfront, many others describe surprise costs, high out-of-pocket amounts, or pricing that felt unclear or disproportionate to the work performed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Unexpected or disputed charges. Other reviewers describe charges that felt high or unexpected, including repair estimates and inspection-related costs that they did not expect. Representative review excerpt: "They told me that a part needed to be replaced and I needed to change out all the refrigerant which was going to cost me 2000 out of pocket and..."

Clear pricing in some jobs. A portion of reviewers say they received fair quotes and appreciated being told about potential add-on charges before work was completed. Representative review excerpt: "The tech was out going and friendly explanation of all areas and prior to fixing or completing job ensuring customer was aware of any additional charges if needed Mario was..."

Fair or reduced pricing. Some customers report that the final price felt fair, and in a few cases the bill was reduced when extra work was no longer needed. Representative review excerpt: "Returned the following day, finished the job and reduced the price we he saw that we did not need an additional repair for the toilet."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.0/10

Communication is a recurring strength, with many reviewers praising responsive scheduling, clear updates, and technicians who kept them informed during service. The main complaints involve hard-to-reach support, automated call handling, and some frustration when follow-up or coordination did not move smoothly.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive scheduling. Reviewers often say the team handled scheduling quickly and was easy to reach when service was needed. Representative review excerpt: "I called in and the agent quickly and graciously took care of scheduling everything."

Clear status updates. Customers frequently mention upfront communication and clear explanations during the job, including updates about what was being done. Representative review excerpt: "They always communicate upfront and clearly, use technology like photos and videos to show you the problems and also send a great report summary showing what they did."

Hard-to-reach support. Some reviews describe difficulty getting through by phone or being redirected when trying to get help, which created frustration. Representative review excerpt: "I've called several times to get a technician only to be told to call their "sister company"."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.7/10

Timeline feedback is generally positive but not spotless. Many reviewers report on-time arrivals and efficient completion, while a smaller set describe delays, missed scheduling expectations, or unclear next-step timing around follow-up work.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-time and efficient service. Several customers say technicians arrived on time and completed work efficiently. Representative review excerpt: "Diegowas on time and efficient."

Prompt turnaround. Some reviewers report fast scheduling and quick completion of installs or repairs, including timely handling of follow-on work. Representative review excerpt: "Adrian arrived on time for the service appointment and all work was performed timely and skillfully."

Last-minute scheduling problems. A smaller number of reviews mention cancellations or delays that disrupted the original appointment plan. Representative review excerpt: "This company has been soliciting us for months, finally we set up an appt and the day before, rudely a lady call us and said they had no plumbers for..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.7/10

Workmanship is a clear strength overall. Reviewers frequently describe crews as professional, careful, and attentive to cleanup and the finished appearance, although a smaller number of comments report installation defects or equipment issues discovered later.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Careful installation crews. Many reviewers praise the installation teams for being friendly, careful, and attentive to how the job looked when finished. Representative review excerpt: "The installation guys could not have been better, more friendly, and with great attention to the care involved in the installation, including how everything looked when done."

Good on-site cleanup. Customers also note that crews handled the work area well and left the system and surrounding space in good order. Representative review excerpt: "He cleaned the whole unit outside and installed new condenser and changed my filter from inside garage."

Installation defects reported. A smaller set of reviews describes problems such as leaks, incorrect connections, or other installation issues that needed correction later. Representative review excerpt: "There were leaks in the air vents, the condensation lines were not installed correctly, the return vent line was too small, and the installation was inside out which caused the..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support5.0/10

Post-install support is mixed. Many reviewers say the company helped restore performance, honored warranty needs, or offered useful follow-up advice, but complaints remain about systems needing corrective service, warranty friction, and unresolved issues after installation or maintenance.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful post-install fixes. Some reviewers say the company returned to repair issues, improve performance, or provide advice that helped the system work better. Representative review excerpt: "This company was able to service my home in short notice and repaired my problem!"

Comfort or performance improvements. Customers also report follow-up work that made the system quieter or more comfortable after service. Representative review excerpt: "After he left, my whole household noticed how much quieter the AC was, AND that the air blowing through our vents was no longer so frigid and forceful that we..."

Problems after installation. Other reviews describe equipment issues, weak follow-through, or repair needs soon after installation or service. Representative review excerpt: "Only one day after the install of my new HVAC system in my garage, I could smell exhaust."

Bottom line: ANTHEM MECHANICAL’s review profile is strongest in workmanship, communication, and sales clarity, with many customers describing professional crews and responsive coordination. The most consistent concern is pricing transparency, and post-install support is more mixed than the upfront service experience.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
