The planning stage was great, the overall execution was poor.
Pros: The estimation and planning stage was excellent. The consultant was highly responsive and patient during the evaluation of different scenarios. Ultimately, the battery and solar system provided met all requirements and represented good value, as pricing was competitive for the quality offered. Additionally, the digital ordering process was clear and straightforward. Cons: The post-order process was poorly executed and quite stressful, primarily due to the following issues: 1. Survey: The initial site survey was rescheduled from Tuesday to Wednesday, the day before it was due to take place. After the customer waited in all day, the surveyor failed to arrive and the appointment had to be rescheduled. Furthermore, no contact number was provided for the installers. 2. Installation: No advanced notice of the installation date was received until a scaffolder arrived on a Friday and suggested the work was scheduled for the following Monday. After Heatable was emailed, the company confirmed a Monday start time of 10:30 AM. However, the installers did not arrive until after 2:00 PM. While the battery was installed quickly, the team lacked the correct fittings for the specific roof tiles. They returned on Wednesday, but there was a further wait for a delivery that arrived at 10:30 AM. The work was finally completed by Thursday lunchtime. The main issue appeared to be that the installers had a six-hour drive to the property and had no way to source parts locally.
