Excellent installation teams worked over two weeks to install large system at Newham Riding School for Disabled. Both teams very friendly tidy considerate (about the horses) and accommodating. Scaffolders ditto. Overall no complaints & would not hesitate to recommend. Admin could have been a little sharper

Disappointed that

We used use the sun to update our existing systems. They installed a new inverter and we were happy. We had a problem with our hot water system controller ( agreed old system) and an engineer installed new controller nice as pie. Told us what he would do to improve things vs next time he came. Rang last week for help and they don’t want to know us. Pretty aggressive. But no explanation for change in opinion which is the main thing I do not understand.

We did not install your system. You asked us to change a controller, which we did. Then you asked us about the plumbing which is so diabolical that we refused to touch it.

Yesterday you called the office and were rude to the administrators who were trying to explain to you that we will not get involved with the plumbing on your Solar Thermal unless you are prepared to pay to have the whole lot ripped out and reinstated. It is that bad

A 1 star review is a serious detriment to my company and totally unfair when it actually relates to a completely different company.

As we suggested yesterday you need to speak to the original installers and if they will not help then you should have an insurance backed guarantee that you can claim on

If you would send us the name of the original installer and their RECC/HIES number we will be happy to advise you

We will not touch your plumbing, it is too dreadful, but this review is very very unfair when the issue was caused by another company you have not reviewed. Please remove it.

We really struggled to navigate finding a company to install an air source heat pump. Use the Sun, was recommended to us. From the start, the approach was professional and of high quality. The installers were really skilled and efficient. They left no mess and explained our questions. Totally satisfied with the service we received.

A genuine soft sales approach

A genuine soft sales approach. I had a very laid back and relaxed chat with Dean and he sent me a quote with a variety of options. I had 15 panels , a car charger , 3 batteries installed. Good comms on a shortage for the Islanding option - that will be done Feb. No money upfront it was paid after the job was done. Team worked hard all day and got everything installed - mess removed and units running on the App. Very pleased and happy to recommend. A genuine good installer.

Thank you for your lovely comments, we pride ourselves on offering a good service that does not need the "hard sell".
The last 6 months we have bounced between different shortages in the PV market due to massive demand, we will have the "islanding" option in ASAP

Overall 5* - I have already recommended to friends

Overall I think this is a good company (in an industry that that is probably unusual) and I have recommended to friends.
A number of my neighbours have used as well.
I think their terms of trade are excellent. Like the ring-fencing of client money and I didn't need to pay anything before installation. They chased quickly for payment which is fair enough.
I had a 16 solar panel system fitted with 3 x 2.5kw batteries and am very pleased with it.
The office are very responsive.
Minor gripe is that the installation team need to be a bit more customer oriented. Should have coverings for carpets that they are walking over in outside boots and left debris (screws, wire, fixings etc) around the roof - only took me 10 minutes to clear but shouldn't need to. Hope that is constructive feedback for improvement.
Anyway, overall a good company who care about the service they provide.

Thank you for your review, these are very important to us

You are a fabulous customer and we enjoyed working with you. As a small, family run business we try to give a good service and pride ourselves on our processes.

Thank you for pointing out the installation team fell short; we will be having a chat with them

Wishing you many years of trouble free generation and savings on your electricity bill

I am left with mixed feelings after installation.
The installation went quick and as agreed, everything was fine. Until they handled the job over and informed us that we are not getting batteries, as the is a shortage. 15 minutes after the installer team left , the woman from office called and demanded payment " preferably this afternoon", when i mentioned missing batteries, she said we can hold to the cost of the batteries until they installed, but the rest must be paid asap. The was no informing us that we are not getting batteries, no approximate dates for actually delivery/installation them.
I was assured that we are getting them asap, but here were are, 2 month later, batteries are still not installed.
With the cost of installation we were counting on saving on energy bill, but we can't really do this currently to the full extend: we use most energy on evenings/afternoons, taking from the grid instead of using our accumulated.
I will bump the rate and update review once the situation changed

Update: The batteries were installed, they get in touch with me straight away after they received it and installation went on agreed date, everything was perfect.
The lady I mentioned before contacted me a few days later asking if I'm happy with installation.I was happy and paid the outstanding sum straight away.

Overall I am happy with Use The Sun and would recommend them to anyone who wants a job done.
I'm leaving the first bit of review on purpose, I want to show that they do keep their promises and learn from mistakes. If I'd ever need something else done I'd definitely contact them again.
Thank you!

Dear Tanya

I am delighted the installation went quickly and as planned.

I apologise our admin came over as demanding payment. The employee in question was new and awkward and yours was the first call she made. She is still with us and much more comfortable in her role

The batteries are a nightmare, we bought a load from a reputable merchant and are still waiting delivery. Like all our competitors we are doing everything we can to get hold of batteries and get them installed. This is a huge expense to us as we have to send electricians back again. Hopefully we will have the batteries soon and we will be around as quickly as we can to get them installed

I am so sorry this has not been the simple installation it started out as, but as soon as we can get batteries you will have them installed

Kind regards

Charles

Double glazing salesmen

Have you ever come across double glazing salesmen in the 80's & 90's?
This is what you will experience with Use the Sun.
Don't bother if you looking for solar, all they want to do is get you to buy an air source heat pump.
1.5 hours of my life I will never get back.

Update, my review is totally accurate, honest and fair. If the company does not like poor reviews, then do something about it rather than blaming the customer.

Dear Mr Mason

I have spoken to the salesman and he says that he quoted you for Solar PV and that you confirmed our quote was within your price range but that you were also getting other quotes, which he accepted. He did not badger you or use other 1980’s “Double Glazing” tactics to force you to sign. He accepted your wishes

He then went on to explain how batteries could enhance a PV system and the benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps. Totally the professional thing to do.

I notice of your 13 reviews 10 of them are 1 Star. Your review is spectacular unfair and inaccurate.

Use The Sun

Use The Sun have within the last week installed a 12 solar panel 2 battery system to my property. The quality of the workmanship was second to none, the installers kept me informed during every process of the installation, fully explained how the system and smart App worked and cleaned up and removed ALL the rubbish after them. My only concern was that the scaffolding that had been erected would not be removed after the installation was complete, but to my amazement the scaffolding guys turned up just as the installers were tidying up! I cannot recommend Use The Sun enough as it was a thoroughly worry free experience for us from day one. Well done and thak you to everyone concerned

No-Brainer and just in time for increased energy prices.

It is obvious to all the need of renewable energy and being warned by our energy company to two increases in cost - April and October - money siting in the bank gets 1.5 % and loses value yearly, we decided to go for solar panels.

“Use the Sun” are near to us (Romford) and apart from a minor problem of communication, they proved efficient and very helpful. Sales appeared promptly. The Surveyor drove all the way from Suffolk to make sure he got here asap. He actually listened to what we had to say and adjusted his plan for roof solar panels accordingly.

Scaffold up efficiently after the very minor mix-up - back and front of the house so a little more expensive, but maximum exposure - to the Sun that is!

The Fitters were very good and very helpful - the each take two sugars in their coffee. Explained all very well. The installation was completed within the day.

Silly me! I should have agreed to batteries. After a day of good sunshine I contacted “Use the Sun” and asked them to fit batteries - they were advised on the original quotation. within 24 hours the fitters returned and installed 3 batteries - all done in about an hour.

Overall, “Use the Sun” were efficient, on time and most helpful. Our panels are working well just in time for the April increase. Save the planet and your cash, the banks give us very little, but money off the energy bill is a “No Brainer.

I would recommend “Use the Sun” as a 5* outfit.

Our sincere thanks to them.

A* Company

We had fitment of heat pump and associated cylinders outside our property. All departments were excellent, Les the sales representative was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with, Andy the specialist had some excellent ideas to help us site the equipment in a very awkward area, the install team worked extremely hard and completed the work in 2 days as promised, neat and tidy and very respectful. The admin team are also great to deal with, very responsive and understanding. All in all Use The Sun are a fantastic company to deal with, thanks so much for everything.

Moved house just before Christmas into a house heated only by 2 night storage heaters and an old log burner. Got in touch with Use the sun, they talked me through the process and costs, they managed to get me heating by 20th January. It was installed with complete wet system and 8 radiators over 4 days. Nice workmen with good knowledge of system.

Wow so pleased in the way I have been looked after from the first moment of contact with this company. I had a green homes voucher which came with complications which use the sun helped me through it. The girls in the office always phoned back and replied to my many emails to the point they knew my voice. Then came installation and what a credit them guys are to the company. All pipe work very neat and tidy all put in with no problem went through everything with me. Unlike a lot of companies now a days they took all the rubbish away with them

Thank you everyone at use the sun

Excellent installation and customer service

I have nothing but praise for this company. Their customer service is excellent. They respond promptly to any questions, no matter how trivial, and are always extremely helpful. Andy and the rest of the installation team that fitted our air source heat pump were all very friendly and efficient. They were courteous and took time to explain things. At all times, I felt as if I was in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Use the Sun.

Mr Jon Fisher

Ordering an Air Source Heat Pump system, I had specifically requested a tank that would go into the loft through a very narrow access and this resulted in two cancelled installation appointments. That aside the installation team were very polite, neat and tidy and I felt they did an excellent job of work and were very sympathetic to our property and decor. All installed over two days. There was the need for a return visit to fit heat monitoring equipment and a meter which was done by a different engineer. This guy couldn't be more helpful and after carrying out his work walked me through the system and how best to use it all. My one and only criticism has to be that the admin team in the office do not communicate and assurances to call were not followed up, hence my rating of Very Good rather than Excellent. Despite that I would recommend Use The Sun Ltd to friends, in fact I already have.

Staffing was an issue in June 2021 due to Covid. Your experience is rather at odds to the other feedbacks. I am sorry you did not have a better experience but that is the exception and it has been a difficult 18 months

Thank you for updating your feedback. Yes, we are delighted to have James back. We also hope that you will have many trouble free years, but you know where we are if you need us!

This is the third time I have used Use the Sun. Previously they installed Solar Panels, a Tesla battery & now an Air Source Heat Pump. On each occasion they have offered friendly, polite, knowledgeable & efficient operatives & that is very important when they are in your house for a few days. The quality of work & product supplied has been first class & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you use this company if you are planning these types of install. As well as this the aftersales service & advice is excellent. Three jobs well done, I'm a pretty happy guy.
