How does Heritage Construction Services 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 Heritage Construction Services 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.

Heritage Construction Services 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 Integrity7.1/10

Reviews of the sales process lean positive overall. Reviewers most often describe staff as informative, helpful, and not pushy, with several saying the proposal and signup process felt clear. There is one complaint about expectations not matching the job estimate, so the category is solid but not spotless.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful, low-pressure sales. Reviewers commonly say the sales conversation felt informative and helpful rather than aggressive, and some specifically mention not feeling pressured to sign up. Representative review excerpt: "I don't really know how to explain how a person can be informative and helpful about their product without being a salesman or pushy, but that is exactly what Kenny..."

Clear guidance through signup. Several reviewers describe staff as supportive during the approval and onboarding process, saying they were helped through the steps and felt comfortable moving forward. Representative review excerpt: "The staff was very helpful and got me approved for my solar installation helping me throughout the process."

Expectation mismatch in one review. One reviewer reported a mismatch between the estimate and the work delivered, which suggests some inconsistency in proposal expectations. Representative review excerpt: "My installation ended up taking almost 5 months, which was not significantly longer than estimated, BUT it exceeded what I was promised by the other company- something that was very..."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency5.7/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mixed. Some reviewers say the process felt easy, stress-free, or competitively priced, while others report billing, refund, or contract issues tied to estimates and rebate timing. The complaint pattern is meaningful enough to keep this category in the mixed range.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Billing and contract complaints. Other reviewers report unresolved refund and billing concerns, along with disputes about contract changes when rebate timing shifted. Representative review excerpt: "We cant get any answers to where our refund is since they had been billing us for 5 months even though we never recieved service also we are supposed to..."

Positive value impressions. A few reviewers say the company made the process easy and stress free, and one reviewer says Heritage came in well below another quote. Representative review excerpt: "We appreciate Heritage for making this process easy and stress free."

Helpful with approvals. Some reviewers describe staff as helpful with approval steps and financing-related coordination during the install process. Representative review excerpt: "The staff was very helpful and got me approved for my solar installation helping me throughout the process."

Communication & coordination

Communication5.4/10

Communication feedback is one of the weakest areas in the review set. Some customers say individuals stayed in touch, followed up, and helped keep the process moving, but many others describe missed calls, unanswered emails, and unclear ownership after the sale. The volume of complaints points to inconsistent coordination.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Frequent reachability complaints. Many reviewers say they could not get timely responses by phone or email, and some report losing track of who was handling their project. Representative review excerpt: "You can call and email this company 20x a day they will not answer and their office is abandoned."

Some staff stayed engaged. A few reviewers say named staff members were knowledgeable, followed up, and stayed in touch during the process. Representative review excerpt: "I also want to thank Brandon Wainwright and Brady Batten for being extremely knowledgeable, not abandoning me once they got the sale, following up where needed and staying in touch..."

Supportive experience for some customers. Several reviewers describe the process as easy and stress free, with helpful staff assisting them through the steps. Representative review excerpt: "We appreciate Heritage for making this process easy and stress free."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability5.7/10

Timeline feedback is mixed and leans negative. Some reviewers say installation was quick and easy or that the crew worked efficiently, but others report long waits for completion and PTO, including delays lasting many months. The category suggests schedule reliability is inconsistent.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Extended project delays. Other reviewers report long completion timelines and slow PTO or activation progress, including projects stretching for many months. Representative review excerpt: "The process of getting my solar panels installed and getting the PTO was from February 2022 to September 2022."

Quick and easy for some installs. A few reviewers say the installation itself moved quickly and was handled efficiently. Representative review excerpt: "They made sure we got an awesome deal and the installation was quick and easy."

Efficient crew experience. Some customers describe the installation crew as courteous and professional, with the work moving smoothly once scheduled. Representative review excerpt: "The installation crew was courteous, professional, made installation seamless and efficient."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship6.4/10

Workmanship reviews are moderately positive, with several customers describing courteous, professional crews and clean, efficient installations. At the same time, a few reviewers report damage concerns or placement issues that required follow-up. Overall, installation quality appears better than the coordination experience, but not uniformly strong.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installation crews. Several reviewers say the crew was courteous, professional, and made the installation feel seamless and efficient. Representative review excerpt: "The installation crew was courteous, professional, made installation seamless and efficient."

Comfortable experience on site. Some customers describe the crew as making the process comfortable and manageable throughout the install. Representative review excerpt: "I cannot stress enough how comfortable Kenny and his crew made this entire process and I strongly recommend them to anyone who is considering solar for their home."

Damage and placement concerns. A small number of reviewers report home damage or placement issues that they say required additional follow-up after installation. Representative review excerpt: "When they wanted me to sign up they would constantly constantly call me, but now that they made damages to my home they can’t answer."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.1/10

Post-installation support is viewed cautiously. The available review evidence is entirely complaint-based in this category, with customers describing unresolved refunds, inactive systems, disconnected contact lines, and difficulty getting help after the job was completed. This suggests support after activation is a recurring pain point in the review sample.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Inactive system reports. Some reviewers say their panels remained inactive for long periods and that they struggled to get status updates or service after installation. Representative review excerpt: "BEWARE ..Won't return calls, have had inactive solar panels on roof for nearly 6 months, Abel, Brody, Cathy, Lauren no one at this company can be trusted."

Refund and billing disputes. Other reviewers report billing continuing before service began and say they could not get clear answers about refunds. Representative review excerpt: "We cant get any answers to where our refund is since they had been billing us for 5 months even though we never recieved service also we are supposed to..."

Hard to reach after install. Reviewers also describe disconnected numbers or empty offices, which they say made post-install support difficult to access. Representative review excerpt: "Their office is completely empty and their phone number is disconnected"

Bottom line: Heritage Construction Services has a midrange overall profile, with stronger marks for sales conduct and installation professionalism than for communication, pricing transparency, and post-install support. The review set shows recurring complaints about responsiveness, delays, and unresolved billing or service issues, so customers should pay close attention to expectations, timing, and follow-up commitments.

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.
