I have an Amergy System, and while the system operates as promised, if I had to do it over, I would have chosen a different company. The first indication should have been in the miscount of trees that had to come out, we had originally counted 16, but it seems that only 15 were put into the paperwork, and when the issue was discovered, it was too late to change. Part of the reason it was discovered too late was that my original agent left the company, and I didn't find out for several weeks, and was never contacted by the new agent. The new agent, when he finally did call, is the one who informed me of the tree issue and that it was too late to change. He did offer a solution which had to do with the "rebate" I was to receive after the system was up and operating. The solution involved me using the rebate check to pay the tree company directly for the removal while they were on the property removing the contracted trees. Sounded reasonable, except no one bothered to tell the tree company, and they refused to remove the trees citing scheduling concerns.
My system was to be installed and operating by August 2016, that didn't happen until late December 2016. We encountered unexplained delay after delay, and it wasn't till I became irate that things seemed to move SLOWLY forward. We encountered a delay with the electric company whereby we needed to submit an "expedited permit" for installation. When I received this notice, I called Amergy to find out that our second sales agent has now also left the company, I have as yet (Oct. 2018) to find out who replaced him. I was told by the person I talked with that they also had received notice from the electric company and I was assured that they were on it and will take care of everything. It took 3 weeks for Amergy to file the necessary paperwork, and the electric company another 5 weeks to approve it, so much for "expedited".
It wasn't till October 2017 that the actual installation took place, including the digging of a trench across my yard (I have a ground based system) to connect the system to my house. That turned into another fiasco. The installation company decided they knew better than me WHERE the trench needed to go, even though I showed them WHY it couldn't go the way they wanted. They disregarded what I told them and nearly took out a brand new septic system trying to do it their way. Once the trench passed inspection, this took several attempts, and the system was connected, the install team just could never find time to come fill the trench back in. By the time they did, the ground had frozen, so my yard wintered with the trench cut out. The install team came out in March to back fill the trench, not only not filling the trench, but left a literal ton of stones and rocks lining the edge (and up to 10' away from the trench) of the trench. For some unknown reason they weren't put back into the trench, and because they weren't, the trench was only half full, causing up to a 6" depression the length of the nearly 200' trench.
Since I had no known sales agent, I had no one to call. I was finally able to reach Amergy Corporate offices in New Jersey through their Facebook page. I had left a message on their answering service and received a call back in an hour or so. The lady (Denise) that returned my call was very nice, understanding and more importantly, helpful. Shortly after our conversation, I was called by MIke, a more local agent. Again, very helpful, texted photos to him regarding the trench and within a couple weeks, install team was back, filled in the trench level to the ground, seeded, and the rocks were at least neatened up and piled for easy removal. Since I was not going to be home when the install team arrived and could not show them where to remove and dump the rocks, I had asked if they could at least round them up for me and I would remove. When I came home from work that night, I was impressed with the work that was done. Shame it wasn't done right the first time.
Remember the "rebate" check I previously mentioned? That took three phone calls to Mike to remedy. Seems as though the request was never processed, and I was never (e)mailed a W4.
I greatly appreciate all that Mike and Denise did to help me remedy a bad situation, I just regret what was promised never materialized or took way too much time to develop.
