Houston, TX  |  Full-Time  |  Hourly, Non-Exempt  |  Regional Travel
A solar system stops making sense the moment it stops making power. When that call comes in, you're the one who shows up, figures out what's wrong, and fixes it — on the spot.
Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.
