When I wanted to have an Erie Metal Roof put on my home, our Solar Panels needed to be remove and reinstalled on the new roof. ECOcentrix was able to complete both tasks working around the installation of our Erie Metal Roof. (June/July 2025)

Eco centrix did a great job on our siding and overhang. Trevor cleaned up and was careful to get the nails and debris. Thanks because my wife is happy now.

ECOcentrix just finished our new roof in less than a day and a half on our large 1.5 story house in Creve Coeur. Because we have 2 dogs, it was important to us that they ensure that our lawns get cleaned afterwards, and indeed, their workers spent a lot of time scouring to pick everything up completely! They were hard-working & professional in every aspect, and the project manager Trevor is especially helpful and easy to work with. We highly recommend this company!!!

Highly recommend this company and solar installation even with tax benefits going away for home ownership. Savings will pay for the system in a few years and you are never impacted by rate increases.

In an effort to take advantage of the Illinois subsidized solar system program for our business, we responded to a few different solar system installer's ads. Aaron, from Ecocentrix, stood out as the one person who seemed to be able to sit down with us and REALLY explain, in depth, just about everything there was to know about solar and how the Illinois Shines program worked. He was so knowledgeable and worked with us in every aspect, from the application for the solar program, to the application for financing, to signing all of the documents, to keeping everything on track in order to meet deadlines and make it all happen. Very shortly after the installation was complete a tornado ripped our roof off of our building and the entire solar system with it. Aaron and his team were 'on it' almost immediately, surveying the situation and offering their assistance. Happy to say, with their dedication, everything is all replaced and running smoothly now. We have only experienced about 1 month of solar usage so far, but have noticed a significant difference in our electric bill, of about 80%. We don't have as many daylight hours or a lot of sunshine now, but being newly installed, we expect an even greater difference in the future. We would absolutely recommend Ecocentrix for your solar projects. They offer the best quality product and they have the knowledge, the expertise, and experience to properly install it. Mary Jane's

I went through ECOcentrix for my roofing and solar projects and I could not recommend them more. I had an insurance claim for my roof and they handled it very professionally and made sure I was taken care of and getting everything I could for it. My solar was turned on a couple days ago and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Everyone that I worked with was kind, professional, and caring. They treated me like a person and not just a check. I will go through ECOcentrix for anything they offer. They have made a customer for life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ecocentrix came highly recommended by the guys at Erie roofing so I gave them a shot. Aron from Ecocentrix worked with my schedule and planned a very informational meeting explaining the product and process of going solar. The whole process took close to a month as they explained it would, nothing was rushed. They came out and assessed our home to be sure it was right for solar, and designed the best set up for us. Sarah at Ecocentrix kept us up to date with the process making sure we knew what and when to expect the installation. Before we knew it, an Ameren technician was here to inspect it for start up. The Ameren tech assured us that the panels were producing well, and was impressed by the simplicity of the panel, commenting that it was a pretty straight forward design. We are very impressed with Ecocentrix's team of professionals and are happy that we made the switch to solar! Thanks Aron, Sarah, and Ecocentrix team!

I normally don’t make to many reviews, but Aaron and the team with Ecocentrix was amazing through the entire process and I have to share that. Everyone was very informative, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and patient throughout the process. The process normally would have taken 3 months, but it took a bit more for me because a new roof was needed. Once that was installed the process to install the panels were pretty fast because they had already did their due diligence having everything in order before they installed everything. Anytime I had questions the team would always be there to answer those questions promptly. They also made sure I was always informed of what was going on and the next steps in the process as well. Keeping an open line of communication was very important to me as I was very new to this process and it made me very appreciate of that fact. The solar panels have worked wonders as well since they have been installed. We’ve seen a major decrease in the electric bill just as they said it would and it feels like a burden with the electric bill has been lifted. Thank you guys for what you do! I’d recommend everyone to ECOcentrix!

I spent so much time trying to decide on solar (way too many plans/systems and misinformation). My wife suggested we speak with Jonathan from ECOcentrix. She has a few friends who went through them for solar and had great things to say about them. I’m so glad we did! 5 star company, quality material, labor and excellent customer service. They truly believe in what they are doing and they work hard to be the best for their customers! I am confident this company will still be around years from now so my system is in great hands. Give them a call. I believe you will not be disappointed! Thank you Mollie, Aaron, Jonathan, Mike & Sarah.

Mollie and Aaron spoke with me at length about whether solar would be a good fit for my new home. They were thorough and honest, ultimately helping me to see that it's not likely a good fit for my home at this time. They're helping me to find an energy auditor instead, to see how we can improve our energy use. They genuinely care about their customers, speak to the client's specific and individual situation rather than a universal sales pitch and were able to explain everything in great detail. Thank you Aaron and Mollie!

ECOcentrix did everything they promised and more. Our system is producing as planned and we can monitor it on our app. We have enough surplus to replace appliances with electric as they need replaced. Love it!!

Very knowledgeable about the industry. It is good to have someone who can help with filing all the applications and paperwork. Also they know of all available incentives to go solar. Check out their energy audit that is a part of their program. Very impressive component that other solar companies simply do not have.

However, the overall care and education we received from ECOcentrix Energy Solutions, combined with their thorough energy audit and exceptional solar panel installation, was truly unmatched! From the start, Molly, Aaron, and their team, along with our sales rep Johnathon, made sure we fully understood the process. They answered all our questions and eased our concerns every step of the way. The solar panels they installed not only look sleek but have drastically improved our home’s efficiency—and we’re already seeing significant savings on our monthly power bills! If you're hesitant like I was, I highly recommend reaching out to ECOcentrix Energy Solutions. Their friendly, knowledgeable team will provide the education and guidance you need to make an informed decision. Give them a call today and start your journey toward energy savings and sustainability!

Johnathon delivered exceptional service, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything, from the initial energy audit to the energy efficiency solutions available to us. He made sure we knew exactly what to expect and helped guide us every step of the way. The energy audit itself was very detailed, revealing areas for improvement that we hadn't even considered. Thanks to ECOcentrix's recommendations, we've not only made our home more efficient, but we’ve also seen a noticeable reduction in our monthly power bills. The savings have been incredible!

This company is top notch. Great service from the start to finish of our solar job. The presentation was understandable and accurate to what we could expect. The plan for making our home more energy efficient was easy to do with Aaron and Molly’s help step by step. Streib electric assisted with the installation and were professional as well. Would definitely recommend this company for Energy solutions and solar. Very happy we met them at a home show.
