Halco

I loved the job, working as an energy advisor took a fair amount of training and hands on application...but it was good work, and we were helping people make their homes safer, and more energy efficient. The bosses were very fair and understanding of being new to the field....HOWEVER, they computer system that they use for every facet of the business is severely flawed, antiquated written on paradox by a computer engineer from the stone age. It crashed often, daily....and was ultimately the reason I left...after my computer (which I purchased new for work microsoft surface pro) crashed erasing everything....and there is no central backup so I lost everything on my computer...and it has happened to other advisors. It was most frustrating....this however, is the only thing bad that I have to say about the company....The owner Hal bent over backwards to make sure I was picking it up, and Hal is VERY involved in the day to day operations....

This was a great experience as a new entry level technician. I worked here for over 3 years. Staff and management are great. Good group of coworkers. Had fun and learned a lot at the same time. Not a lot of room for advancement unless you are part of the “in” group. The working hours were great but fell far short of full time most weeks. Would get sent home early but expected to be on standby in case of an emergency with no compensation unless were called out (which never happens). Overall a decent place to work. 

Halco can at times be a fast paced, grinding work environment both in the field and in the office.

That being said it is also very rewarding.  The owner's not shy to compensate very handsomely.  A lot of the work that gets done makes a big difference in the healthy safety, and quality of life for our clients.  

Honesty and reputation come above all else.  I have never been asked to cut any corners or risk the safety or well being of any coworkers or clientele, and I know I never will.  

I worked for Halco for 4 years as a production installment coordinator. I have watched Hal and his managers bend over backwards for employees and customers. Knowing you played a part in bettering someones home life as well as bettering the environment is extremely rewarding. No matter the position here in the field or in the office the best reward was being acknowledged for all the hardwork you put in on your part. From your coworkers to your customers this company is all around a great place to work.

Halco Energy is the type of company you want to work your entire career with. It is not unusual for someone who started at the absolute bottom as I did to progress to the management team. You are always well compensated for your time and supported if you are trying to advance your career.

Benefits are solid with vacation, sick time and paid holidays off.


15yrs. Halco, was a great place to work, fair and understanding always there if you needed anything, plenty room for advancement and good pay based on experience, there was never a dull moment...id strongly recommend a position at this company if you're in the "skilled trades"

The work field was wonderful. Loved speaking with customers and getting to meet new people on a daily basis. Ony con was that the other employees were not so nice to work with, a lot of fighting and arguing in the office between employees which made it a very hostile work environment.

If you've got a thick skin and are a quick learner, this job could be for you.  It requires a lot of miles to be put in, and expect to deal with a lot of tempers and egos along the way.  If you've got kids, be aware that they'll demand a huge amount of your time - well, well over 40 hours a week.

They don’t train you, there’s one or two decent foreman, the rest of them harass new people and make it miserable to show up to work.

Management: the opps manager is not a nice person, extremely condescending and just plain rude.

Management has favorites and it’s so obvious, if you’re thinking you’re gunna move up here… you won’t.



Working here as a technician is a horrible ordeal. Employees are expected to handle tricky situations all by themselves. The leadership barely offers any support but is quick to blame you when something goes wrong. It's ridiculous. Please don't sign that offer letter as a technician.
