From start to finish everything was well organised. While workings of system were explained in detail, I'm sure we will have some questions down the line. Workers were very polite and worked solidly, no stopping for cups of tea and work was completed in few hours. No mess left after completion of installation. I look forward to the savings the panels will produce while also helping reduce carbon footprint.

Thank you to everyone that we dealt with in Activ8. At each stage of the process, each person was very informative professional and helpful. From our initial call and consultation and our surveyor, both very friendly and knowledgeable. And a special thanks to the install team. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond, working late into the evening to get the job completed. There was a small issue with the Eddie system which needed to be replaced, which was done efficiently and was completed within 2 days after the initial install. We are very happy with the system and the service provided by Activ8 and would be happy to recommend them.

I would suggest that the guys leave a place as they find it. In other words do provide some cleaning up stuff for them and maybe show them how to clean up I saw that they were exhausted as they finished the job and I had not the heart to ask them to continue But I am an 86 year old lady living alone so I am unable to do that kind of work now. However they did an excellent job and were very nice fellows to have working in my home. Thank you very much. Evelyn Glynn
