Great service, poor back office

Hard sell up front with multiple follow-ups to initial enquiry from several employees so no clarity in communication.
Service engineer arrived on time, was very courteous and thorough taking time to explain what he was doing. Promised a report later that day which I had not received 5 days later despite several requests for a performance review. I ended up chasing and again got several responses from different personnel before the actual report. One included a promotion with a link to explain how to save money on subsequent services - but the link did not work.
In summary excellent service at the front end, back office muddled and needs attention.

Overall a very good service

It was a long process, but my ventilation unit was replaced after multiple visits.

I had to take off a star because the engineer working on my unit forgot to follow through and call me back a couple of times, so after long waits, I had to chase up the main office, but they were very professional and looked to get me back on track asap.

It was dragged out a bit, but I am satisfied with the end result.

Property Manager with x40 MVHR Units.

I am a property manager managing a housing portfolio of blocks of apartments and use HRV Group to service the MVHR units. I have been using them for 3 years and can recommend their prompt service with arranging the appointments and delivering an excellent customer service when entering tenants homes. Thank you!

Be customer focused and offer choice to customer

My MVHR unit became noisy so I arranged HRV group engineer for a servicing. The servicing itself went ok and the engineer told me the motor bearing is worn and (the motor) needs replacement.

After waiting for a repair quote for one week, they phone and told me they've contacted Nuaire the manufacturer and they are unable to provide spare parts as the unite is obsolete. The only option is to replace the entire MVHR unit, which costs £1500+ plus labour.
Long story short, I managed to replace the bearing myself, costing ~£20 plus my time.

While I don't expect HRV engineers to offer bearing replacement, I feel disappointed about HRV group is that being a 'ventilation specialist' you can't conduct online search for a replacement motor, which only took me hours to identify one exact model available on ebay, or another compatible model from pole star! I would encourage you to improve your repair service by looking beyond just original manufacturer, and be customer obsessed.

Reply from HRV Group UK

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

At HRV Group, our repair service follows strict industry standards, and as a ventilation specialist, we rely on manufacturer-approved parts and procedures to ensure both safety and long-term performance. Unfortunately, for your discontinued unit, replacement parts from the original manufacturer are no longer available. This is why our solution was to advise a full unit replacement rather than sourcing third-party parts—even though I understand you managed to replace the bearing yourself for a much lower cost.

While I can appreciate that it might seem more cost-effective to source an alternative component online, our policy and experience over the past 20+ years dictate that using only manufacturer-endorsed parts is the most reliable approach. We cannot guarantee how long a third-party part will work, and it may cause future issues that we would not be able to support. As a business, we need to ensure that we answer for the quality of the work we provide, which includes offering warranties and guarantees for the parts we use. This is why we cannot work with third-party parts.

We truly regret that this situation has led to disappointment and that our inability to offer third-party replacements has affected your perception of our service. Your feedback is invaluable, and we continually review our practices to balance cost, safety, and quality for our customers.

If you would like to discuss this further or have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We appreciate your business and hope to serve you better in the future.

Regards
Customer Service Team
