In a 2024 review, a customer said the Spark crew got a Tesla wall charger installed before the Tesla had even arrived. That 2024 customer wrote that they dug into the ground in December and ran a higher-voltage wire from the house to the garage. In the same 2024 review, the customer said they added on to the existing panel in the house, while the older panel in the garage needed an upgrade to handle the load. That 2024 customer also said they asked about any plants to save before they started digging. Spark describes itself on its website as a full-service efficiency contractor for electrical systems, lighting, solar and more, and lists 12 years in business. A pressherald.com article names Fred Horch as a co-founder of Spark Applied Efficiency, a South Portland energy services contractor. In a 2024 review, a person who works next to a building the company was working on said its ladder fell in the wind in their parking lot and nearly hit their car, and a worker joked that they should have set it up properly. A 2023 reviewer said one of its white service vans was going 90+ mph north on I-95.
