Home Upgrade Specialist doesn’t publish pricing on its website. You can call 833-446-6387 or schedule a free design consultation to get a detailed quote. The website also has calculators for HVAC, solar, battery backup and roofing projects, with preliminary estimates in about 60 seconds.

All permitting and paperwork are included in its installation services.

Tesla Solar Roof installations include a 25-year product warranty. The company also provides warranty documentation for its other projects, but specific coverage lengths and terms vary and aren’t clearly detailed on its website.

Home Upgrade Specialist advertises a 100% satisfaction guarantee on its work, but doesn’t provide details about the guarantee’s coverage, duration or claims process.

Home Upgrade Specialist may be worth considering if you live in Southern California and want one contractor to handle multiple energy upgrades. Its services include HVAC, solar, roofing, battery storage and EV charger installation, which may simplify projects that would otherwise require several contractors.

The company may also appeal to homeowners specifically interested in Tesla Solar Roof or Powerwall products. However, it doesn’t publish pricing online, so you’ll need to request a quote and compare it with estimates from other local contractors before deciding.
