What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
Installation crew supervision gap: lead installer initially dismissed legitimate electrical safety concern (live 230V wire in drywall) as acceptable, requiring customer and electrician intervention
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Red flag
High variance in review ratings (4.8 Google average masks 2/5 review); single detailed negative review documents pattern of pricing markup and upselling that contradicts positive reviews' praise for 'no hard-sell'
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Significant pricing concerns: one detailed review reports $12,000 quote for mini-split installation (completed elsewhere for ~$1,300 + $100 labor) and criticizes $500 proprietary coil cleaning as unnecessary upsell
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Installation quality issues: drywall damage from forgotten connections and dangerous live electrical line left in wall during initial system installation
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“When I first used Nexgen I had them install a brand new system in my home I was doing a remodel too from the ground up. A rep. named Jeff Larson was as professional as could be and designed an awesome system. He deserves 5 stars. Too bad the first foul was with the installers. They forgot to hook up one of the handlers and had to put a hole in my new drywall. Even worse they left a live line in there. The lead …”
Positive
“Juan Jimenez from Nexgen did fantastic work. He was very knowledgeable and professional the entire time working on my unit. He made sure that our AC unit worked well and got the output temperature nice and ice cold. Juan informed us of the variety of additional products and services that Nexgen offers without being intrusive or pushy, which I greatly appreciated. I will continue to have my AC unit serviced by Nexgen …”
“Great experience overall. NexGen sales person was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Great pricing when I compared to other companies. They came and installed our water softener system the next day! We are happy with our experience. Thank you NexGen!”
