Hi Michael, thank you very much for your 5-star review.
Unhappy 🙁
The install team were excellent but I have yet to see any electricity savings from the panels. Also the app is very poorly designed and of little use.

Activ8 sales, survey, service and installation experience ciuldn't have been smoother.
The Sales experience was informative followed by a constructive Survey visit. The arrangements for installation, SEAI grant and payments were made quickly and efficiently with very friendly and helpful team . Finally the crew who did the installation were on time, expert, efficient, friendly and courteous and completed the whole job in less than five hours.

Hi Peter, thank you for your 5-star review. We really appreciate it.
Very positive experience
Very positive experience, lovely staff to engage with at each stage of the installation - from quote to technical survey to installation visits, also admin staff on phone calls. Everything was very clearly explained, and it is very helpful that Activ8 will apply for the SEAI grant and all related certificates. The teams on site were very clear in explaining, very organised and tidy in their work, and very friendly, lovely to deal with. Based on our experience, we have no hesitation in recommending Activ8. Thanks very much to each and all of you!
