Fantastic Service & great after sales !

Great service & competitive price. I have had solar panels installed at my home and then my office with UTS. A lot of companies are good at selling the system to you...but the after sales is also very important. UTS have great after sales. Had an issue with the app. Keeleigh from UTS Customer support dealt with the issue immediately and sorted everything out. So I would definitely recommend Use The Sun.

Lucy totally sorted my problem

I spoke to Lucy about a problem I had as I had received a request from my FIT provider for a Schematic diagram of my Solar Installation. The original Installer had not provided me with a schematic drawing of the system and had ceased trading. I contacted Use the Sun as they had carried out remedial works for my insurer. Lucy was extremely helpful and went to trouble to sort out my issue.
Thank you very much Lucy!

Thank you for your review, it was our pleasure

This does highlight the importance of using accredited firms for installation even though they maybe a tad more expensive. We were not the original installers, we were called in by HIES to carry out remedial works in their absence. Of course, to do so, we had to recreate paperwork that was missing, such as the schematic, and were very happy to share this with you when you needed it

Hopefully now all is up and working as it should and will continue to do so for very many years

All the best

Excellent Installers

Our Solar Panel providers (Evergen Solar) employed "Use the Sun" to instal our panels. Keith (from the Doncaster branch) carried out a detailed survey of our house prior to the scaffolding being erected. Josh and Keith arrived on time on the day agreed and carried out the installation very efficiently. They were both very courteous and completed the work without problems. Josh guided us through the system controls and monitoring application expertly and with care. They could not have been better!

Super service!

Super service, the plague has obviously passed! We just had our solar panels fitted and the installation couldn't have gone more smoothly. Nice guys, arrived on time, panels boxes and battery where we wanted them. Neat cabling etc. Swept up all debris. Many thanks.

Highly recommended.

Simply top-class customer service at every level.
From initial contact with Eddie offering advice based on years of experience, to Keeleigh & Lauren facilitating a very pleasant visit by Lee to survey and offer further advice, to finally Andy & Scott professionally installing a perfect system explaining everything along the way.
All this in a timeframe that suited us, this is customer focus & service at the very highest levels. All coupled with very competitive pricing.
Followed up by Keeleigh calling post-installation checking everything is ok and we're satisfied, of course we are!
Use The Sun are very highly recommended by us, you'll have a great experience with the company!

Lack of Support

I used this Company in 2017 as probably one of their first Heatpump installs. They didn't instruct me how to Claim RHI Grant so I lost that. Put it down to experience. They fitted a Heatmiser control that you have to be a Genius to use. I have to constantly contact them if I want alter the settings when they should have offered an alternative controller. As it Is more important now than ever with rising Energy costs I asked for a call back on 14/10/24. No contact.
Phoned yesterday 05/02/25 No call back so I can get my heating on.
Phoned and left a message on their Website still no response and now they've gone home and it's -3° outside.
Buyer beware

Dear Mr Crane

I am at a loss to know how to reply. We pride ourselves on good customer service and helpful installers and our other feedback bears testimony to this

I have spoken at length to the office. As I understand it, we installed an Air Source Heat Pump July 2019 (not 2017 as you said) and for 6 years your system has worked perfectly; despite it having only been serviced once in May 2022 (unless you have had others service it)

You installed underfloor heating after we installed the Heat Pump. When you called us we sent a team to you, free of charge, who identified the fault lay with the pump for the underfloor heating, something we did not instal and have no experience with

As to the Heatmaster control, we use that a lot and have not had a problem. You have used it for 6 years and this is the first we are hearing of your problems; you did not mention any problems during the service in May 2022. If you have a problem with it now please call the office where someone will be able to help you.

For the RHI, we did not instruct anyone how to claim it, I am sure the sales team would have told you about it at the point of sale, it being one of the biggest sales drivers. After that it is down to the customer to complete the on-line form which contained personal details we do not have on our customers

My colleagues have been trying to contact you but you do not accept or return their phone calls.

I am sorry that after 6 years you are suddenly disappointed because your underfloor heating pump has broken down but there is little more that we can offer. If you disagree, please feel free to contact the office where advice is always available during office hours.

I used Use the Sun a few years ago and to fair was very disappointed. Saying that I have used them end of last year and I got to say they were absolutely brilliant. Never have I encountered such a turn around in a company. From reception staff, accounts department and the installers. Nothing now could be improved. JUST FANTASTIC. Thank you all so much.

Incredibly helpful

I was inadvertently put in contact with this company when I developed a fault with my existing solar system. Despite geographical barriers (I’m in Bristol, they’re in Essex) they tried to help me to resolve the problem. Keeleigh was extremely helpful and asked good questions to understand the issue and gave sensible advice regarding next steps. We ended up needing a visit from a local business but on the basis of the service I received I would highly recommend Use The Sun.

Use the Sun installed a battery system for us, through the HIES scheme, when our original contractor went out of business. The installation was efficient and an initial issue was fixed promptly. The system works very well. We were very impressed by the excellent customer service.

Trustworthy and reliable

The staff have always been courteous and helpful.
The job was done without any fuss.
Although the fault proved to be a bit difficult to correct
it was eventually sorted out.

Thanks Mary, we have a strong ethos of customer care and I always appreciate it when a customer goes to the trouble of saying it was good. It can be difficult to find the fault sometimes, especially on systems we did not instal. I believe HIES paid for this under your insurance because the original installer is no longer available. We seem to be getting a name for ourselves with this type of work with HIES.
I am glad all is fixed now and I expect it will work trouble free for many years but you know where we are if you need us
All the best
