How does Fuse Hvac Refrigeration Electrical & Plumbing 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 Fuse Hvac Refrigeration Electrical & Plumbing 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.

Fuse Hvac Refrigeration Electrical & Plumbing 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 Integrity7.4/10

Reviewers generally describe the sales and proposal process as clear, helpful, and professional, with staff explaining options and expectations well. A smaller set of customers report scope confusion, pricing concerns, or experiences that felt pressure-filled or less customer-focused.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, helpful proposals. Many reviewers say the sales team explained options well and presented proposals in a straightforward way. These customers often describe the process as professional and easy to understand. Representative review excerpt: "The sales consultant who I met with explained all the options very well and made a recommendation."

Trustworthy, low-pressure sales. Some reviewers report that the company avoided unnecessary upsells and provided fair recommendations. That pattern supports a generally positive view of proposal integrity. Representative review excerpt: "What I appreciate most is their honesty and reliability, they never try to upsell unnecessary services and always provide fair recommendations."

Occasional scope or pricing concerns. A smaller group of reviews raises concerns about unclear scope, persistent follow-up, or proposals that felt overly aggressive. These complaints suggest the experience is not fully uniform across customers. Representative review excerpt: "There was some unclarity about the scope of the work, but that was resolved after I showed Kirill the signed contract, and he also checked with the back office."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.7/10

Pricing feedback is mixed to positive overall, with many reviewers saying estimates, discounts, and rebate timing were explained clearly. At the same time, a meaningful minority report billing friction, payment pressure, or confusion about final charges and refunds.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear discounts and rebates. Some reviewers say the company clearly identified advertised discounts and available rebates, which helped them understand the quote. This is one of the stronger themes in the pricing feedback. Representative review excerpt: "He also added the advertised discounts and the rebates I could qualify for (which many other vendors could not clearly identify)."

Convenient payment process, minor friction. A few customers describe online payment as convenient, while also noting repeat invoices or process confusion. Those comments read more as friction than a major breakdown. Representative review excerpt: "Payment was convenient online (though the technicians struggled a little with their process and I got numerous repeat invoices - no biggie, just pay once and validate on their portal)."

Billing and timing complaints. Negative reviews mention pressure to pay before work or follow-up steps were complete, as well as concerns about unclear billing or trouble getting rebate-related costs sorted out. This makes transparency a more mixed area than the higher-scoring categories. Representative review excerpt: "Title: Unfair billing and pressure to pay for uncompleted work Rating: 1 / 5 Stars I hired Fuse Service for a ductwork and HVAC repair job."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.7/10

Communication is a frequent strength in the review corpus, especially for responsiveness, scheduling follow-through, and coordination from quote to install. Complaints are present but smaller in volume, and they center on slow replies, inconsistent handoffs, or confusing follow-up requests.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive from sales through install. Many reviewers say staff answered calls, texts, and emails promptly and stayed helpful throughout the project. This is one of the clearest positive patterns in the feedback. Representative review excerpt: "Our sales rep, Cuinn Hamm, was extremely responsive and helpful anytime we had a question from sales through install."

Smooth issue handling. Some customers report that even when extra visits or changes were needed, the company handled the coordination efficiently. Those reviews suggest strong project ownership when issues came up. Representative review excerpt: "The technician, Aleksandr, had to return a second time, as the system required a special device to interface with its computer, but this was handled efficiently."

Some back-and-forth and unanswered messages. A smaller set of reviews describes delays in replies or trouble getting questions resolved during the project. These complaints point to occasional coordination gaps rather than a dominant pattern. Representative review excerpt: "When we encountered urgent issues during the installation, our calls, voicemails, and emails went unanswered for an extended period."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.5/10

Reviewers often describe scheduling as quick and installation timing as efficient, with permits and inspections handled smoothly in many cases. Some complaints mention permit or inspection delays, missed timing expectations, or activation steps that took longer than customers wanted.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast scheduling and efficient installs. Several reviewers say installation was scheduled quickly after contract signing and completed efficiently. These comments support a generally reliable timeline experience. Representative review excerpt: "After electronically signing the contract, within ~12 hours I had a text message requesting to schedule the installation, which was quick and easy - awesome!"

On-time and orderly visits. Customers also describe installers arriving on time and finishing cleanly within the expected window. That suggests good day-of execution for many projects. Representative review excerpt: "Installer was on time, friendly, and did very clean work."

Permit and inspection delays. Some reviews mention permit-related delays or failed inspections that pushed completion out. These reports keep the timeline category from reading fully seamless. Representative review excerpt: "They failed the permit inspection with the city which took 1 month to get a new inspection."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship9.0/10

This is the strongest category in the review set. Reviewers overwhelmingly praise installation quality, professionalism, cleanup, and careful handling of the work area, with only a small number of complaints about repairs, leftovers, or unfinished details.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Careful, professional installation. Many reviewers describe the crew as thorough and professional, with work completed cleanly and efficiently. This is the dominant theme in workmanship feedback. Representative review excerpt: "On installation day, our technician, Oleg, was extremely thorough, efficient, and finished the job in just a few hours—leaving the area spotless."

Good cleanup and repair follow-through. Some customers specifically note careful cleanup and repair of surrounding areas after the job. Those details suggest strong site care, not just technical execution. Representative review excerpt: "They had to repair some wall damage afterward, and I was particularly impressed with how carefully they matched the existing paint."

A few unfinished or damaged areas. A small number of reviews mention damage that needed follow-up repair or other unfinished work after installation. These complaints are present, but they are uncommon relative to the large volume of praise. Representative review excerpt: "We had to arrange for a handyman team through Fuse to repair and cover the damaged areas before the HVAC installation could be completed."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.7/10

Post-install feedback is generally positive but less consistently strong than installation itself. Many reviewers say systems worked well and support was helpful after the job, while a smaller but meaningful set reports malfunctioning equipment, gas-related issues, or dissatisfaction with follow-up and warranty details.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful system walkthroughs. Some reviewers say staff took time to explain how the new system works and what to watch for after installation. That points to solid onboarding and post-install support in at least part of the review set. Representative review excerpt: "Azamat also made a separate trip to walk me through the new system, explain how to operate it, and point out things I should watch for."

Working well after install. Other customers report that the system has continued to work properly with no issues or leaks since completion. These comments support the positive side of long-term performance. Representative review excerpt: "No issues or leaks in the system since install, everything is working perfectly!"

Some unresolved performance problems. Negative reviews mention thermostat problems, gas-related issues, or repairs that were not fully resolved right away. This category therefore reads as positive overall, but with enough complaints to remain mixed. Representative review excerpt: "By the end, the thermostat was malfunctioning, showing incorrect temperatures and causing the system to run nonstop, even after the house had cooled far below the set point."

Bottom line: FUSE HVAC REFRIGERATION ELECTRICAL & PLUMBING’s review profile is strongest on installation workmanship and site care, where reviewers overwhelmingly describe professional crews and careful cleanup. Sales, communication, and scheduling are generally positive, while pricing transparency and long-term support show more mixed feedback, with complaints centered on billing clarity, rebate timing, and post-install issues.

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.
