Excellent professional installer
Customer Service
Quality
Value
The kit came on time and had everything needed for the installation, so good but standard stuff. The installer (Glenn) however was excellent, the job turned out to be very tricky. Restricted access, floors of different heights containing random concrete blocks and Travertine tiled walls to navigate, all in a house built in 1905. Glenn worked around each of the problems (some requiring considerable skill) and kept us informed throughout. The final installation is excellent and works well. I have no hesitation recommending both Smart home change and Glenn.

What a fantastic company. Super efficient right from the start. The pre-installation process and the sales team Katherine & Jack in the office were excellent very prompt with their responses, especially as i had a lot of questions. I was kept informed all the way. Installation day came and Syed just continued with with same excellent customer service. He rang me in the morning to give me an expected time of arrival. He arrived on time. He kept me informed during the install, giving me appropriate technical details. He made me aware of an issue with my existing Consumer Unit, and went 'Above & Beyond' to resolve it. The final install looks great and very neat, cleaning up after himself was a bonus. He spent time with me going through the Ohme app and setting everything up so i was ready for my first charge. Great experience having work completed by Smart home charge, without hesitation i would definitely recommend to others.

A simple and straightforward process. I uploaded my survey pictures and video last Saturday and the engineer arrived today to fit my charger. He was very professional. He ran the cable round from my meter to my charger round the inside of a spare ground floor bedroom making a very neat and tidy job. He cleared up after himself leaving no mess. Went through the set up of the app for the charger and tested it by charging my car. Overall an excellent service.

Everything went smoothly from quotation to installation of our EV charger (Simpson & Partners) at home, albeit the initial small glitch regarding the cable not enough with the engineer and rapidly remedied by the office for a return date to install the charger. Jack was excellent at the office, and Andrew the engineer was tidy with his installation work. Smart Home Charge sorted out all the necessary documentation and the staff were all polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend them.

Installation of home EV Charger
Customer Service
Quality

Great experience from start to finish. The pre-installation processes were externally thorough but simple to follow. The charger arrived a few days before the installation was scheduled. Smart Home provided updates on the progress of the order through each step, which included them obtaining installation approval from the Distribution Network Operator (National Power). The installation engineer arrived on time and was extremely professional and polite. He carried out a top quality job after explaining the pro’s and con’s of each of the two possible charger locations. Very pleased with the entire experience and I would highly recommend Smart Home Charge.

Cancellation fees even before you schedule a installation
Customer Service
Quality
Value
I wouldn’t recommend these at all. Some of the issues seem to be common with all installation companies. You go through the process of giving them all the information, you are forced to pay up front, and only then do you get told the installation date. In this case, the installation date was almost a month away. Octopus ended up being cheaper and could be installed within 2 weeks. When I tried to cancel with Smarthomecharge, they stung me with £55 cancellation fee and tried to charge me £15 to collect the charger, even though I hadn’t received it. They charge you if the DNO notification has been sent, but they send the notification before you have any idea of the installation date. I get that I am partially to blame, as the terms and conditions stated this, but it seems very underhanded. Clearly, it's just a way to get money off of people for nothing. It is worth noting that Octopus and others don’t practice such underhanded tactics.

From the first contact via internet to the installation everything was a breeze and all completed from start to finish within a week. On installation day Khan the installer arrived before allotted time and kept me informed on the status of the installation throughout. At the end of the installation he setup the phone app and completed a full demo on how the Easiee One charger and its support app works. 5 stars to Khan and Smart home charge.

I did quite a bit of market research on EV chargers and the installation options. I wanted to make sure I had the right charger for my car, good customer service and good value for money. I visited many websites and read many reviews and watched lots of YouTube videos. The amount of information was bewildering and it was difficult to know where to go for the best solution. However, Smart Home Charge kept coming up as a highly rated provider. The Smart Home Charge website was really helpful in helping me to choose the right charger for me. The level of information on the website is excellent and very easy to navigate through the options. Once I had selected the Ohme ePod and pressed the button to purchase, the communication from Smart Home Charge and the ease of processing the order was very good. They kept me informed through all the stages of the DNO notification and let me know what to expect. The installation itself followed within a couple of weeks, which was completed without a hitch. I was completely satisfied with Smart Home Charge and would highly recommend them to others.

Ohme Home Pro Install

Firstly, Smart Home Charge (SMH) use local firms for the installs, so this review will be in two parts. Contacted SMH via their website having looked at their charger options. Was able to provide the information they needed easily through various prompts, including a walk through video of the location and through to the consumer unit. All very easy to do. Initial quote didn't include a voucher we'd applied for some reason, but was able to email them back and that was then applied. Couldn't make the initial date they suggested for install, which was within a week of ordering, but was easy to ring and change to a new date. A large box arrived a few days later. On the day of the install, got a call to say the installer's van had broken down. Annoying but one of those things and they offered to do the install the following day which we couldn't do but they were easy to communicate with to sort a new date. For the install, was contacted by the local firm who were doing it to confirm on the day. When the engineer arrived, he asked about the items that had been delivered as he was concerned there wouldn't be an additional box and he'd need to go and get one, but it had been provided in the parcel from SMH. Engineer was polite and tidy and explained how everything worked when he finished. All in all, the whole process was very easy and efficient. Definitely recommended.

We have had contact with many people at Smart Home Charge and all have been very good to deal with (at around the same time we had dealt with others doing equivalent work who we clearly thought we could not trust). Charlie, who was the electrician who came to do the work, is one of the very best people who have ever done work in our house. His manner was exceptionally pleasant and his work was very neat and he showed great care with everything he did. We would be very pleased to have Charlie do more work for us. Charlie was punctual.

Won't honour quotation, failed to collect charger, won't refund my money
I placed an order via the Ohme website. They asked me to complete an online survey, and then gave me a quote for £1,453.20, including £253.20 of additional works. I accepted the quote and paid them the money. The charger was delivered, and I phoned them to see when I could expect the install. They then asked if I had got the trench dug yet. The quotation I had accepted said nothing about that requirement, and I was relying on the Ohme website, which promises "All-in-one package” and "We take care of everything, so that you don’t have to”. So of course I said that I wasn’t prepared to go ahead if they weren’t prepared to do the work they’d quoted for, and to collect the charger that had been delivered. They booked DPD Local , and I waited in for the collection, which never came — instead the DPD tracking said "Your collection did not take place as the Pickup Point was closed”. Having gone to some inconvenience to let them recover a charger that should never have been delivered to me in the first place, I am not prepared to do so again. I am more than willing to make the charger available for collection, at a specific pre-arranged time that is convenient for me, or at their risk to leave it outside on the day of collection. Meanwhile, they still have my money.

Great service from start to finish. When we decided to purchase our EV we did the usual research for charging points. Smart Home Charge were recommended to us, and we couldn’t be happier. They aren’t the cheapest but you get what you pay for and it’s been worth the difference. The team in the office have been great at answering and dealing with queries that we’ve had and on the day of Installation, Ollie was excellent. He talked us through what he’d be doing how long it would take, suggested a better location and height for the unit to be placed. I’d thoroughly recommend them to anyone buying a EV charging unit.

If anyone needs an EV charger installed these are the people to do it. Getting the quote was easy, quote was competitive, the ordering was easy (incl a refund of an optional extra I changed my mind on) booking teh install was hassle free and not a long wait and the communications well balanced (good info and not bombarded). On teh day teh installer was friendly, polite and respectful. He arrived on time, discussed options for the cable route and listened to my views rather than push what was easiest / cheapest for him. Work was efficiently done he communicated the short power off period and fitted us and when he was done he explained how it all worked and left the house neat and tidy. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat!!!

Ollie from Smart Home Charge fitted our Tesla Wall Connector. The whole job from start to finish was fantastic! The installation was very discrete and the area was cleared away perfectly after. He even spent time afterwards explaining how everything worked and was available for any questions I had. Can’t be faulted, thanks! 10/10
