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

As both a Fleet Manager and company car driver, I have seen both sides of Smart Home Charge and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to others. Their website is super-helpful and clear, packed with lots of jargon-free information for those of us migrating to electric vehicles. Cost for home charge point supply and install offers great value for money too. Smart Home Charge sailed through our very detailed and diligent onboarding process, which is no mean feat, as we are very careful about who we engage to work with. Smart Home Charge were super-amenable, emails and calls were always answered promptly, meaning it was simple to agree Terms and Conditions. From there, our drivers submitted a simple survey regarding their property - things like proximity of consumer unit to outside wall etc., which Smart Home Charge used to generate a supply and install quote. Install appointments were agreed and in every case, the engineer arrived on the agreed date, with our drivers commenting on how neat, tidy and professional the they had been when installing the home charge points. It's not uncommon to be lured by a great website, only to find the company behind it somewhat wanting, but I have to say that it's been an absolute pleasure working with Smart Home Charge & I wish them the very best as the rush to migrate to electric vehicles continues at pace.

Supply and Installation on EV Charger Excellent communication throughout - prompt responses by email from enquiry through to quote and payment. Good communication by phone in scheduling work and coordinating with Western Power (who needed to upgrade the supply fuse). Confirmation the day before of the name of the installer and expected arrival time. On the day the work was carried out efficiently and included a demonstration of how the unit operated including confirming connection to the app on my mobile phone. All staff (both installer and in the office) were friendly and professional.

I needed a smart charger fitted for my car due to work and there was a lot of unhelpful information out there but when I found the Smart Home Chargers website it was perfect. The website was very user friendly and made it easy to get an understanding of what I was looking at. The process from the start was great as they first called me and were very friendly and not patronising, this is where they quoted an estimated price and booked a video call in to gather more information about the installation, let me ask any questions and then get a quote for the work. Then a team of two came out and went above and beyond for me to complete the work and the installation to the top of their ability. The customer service was second to none and they made a process that was very daunting, easy and very smooth. end to end spot on.

The company was exceptionally well organised. It was easy to book installation online and upload video of the layout required. The helpline, when I needed to approach them, were clear and accessible. The engineer was prompt, polite and expended an enormous amount of effort making sure that I was happy with the route the cables were being installed along. I have a difficult layout with an internal electric meter, a solid wood floor in the hall and a tile floor in the kitchen. He gave it a lot of thought. When the initial proposed route did not work (underfloor cross beam) he rethought it and came up with an even better solution which did work. I am left without visible cabling running through my house and armoured cable carefully concealed beneath window ledges outside the house. He cleaned up incredibly well afterwards. I cannot praise them highly enough. I am delighted with the job and the service. His explanation of how two use the charger was also very clear.

Smart Home Charge fitted an EV charger at my home. I was impressed by their professionalism throughout the entire process. I work in an industry where customer care is paramount and understand the importance of feedback to improve or maintain a level of service. I felt informed throughout the entire process, from quotation to order to installation. Even on the day of installation the fitter communicated with me regarding his arrival time and the time that the job would take. The quality of the installation was excellent and exactly what I asked for. This is a business that understands the importance of customer service.

I was having real problems with my order for a EV Charger with British Gas and could not get hold of then for an update or to speak to them. I purchased an Sync EV Electric Car Charger for my soon to be delivered Electric Car back in December 2021. As soon as I was comfortable that the order would be fulfilled I cancelled my British Gas order. Smart Home Charge were excellent with their communications and quick at answering any questions and I was confident with the company. We are very particular about the outside of our house and we explained that we did not want cables in sight and were assured that they would do what they could. Their electrician, whose name I can't recall, was very friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to discuss the route of the cable with us and to make sure we were happy with the work to be carried out. His work was very neat and tidy and the routing of the cable was perfect for us. The unit itself if quite discreet, although you do know it is there. It has never failed since fitted. The phone app is very reliable and has really good functionality. All in all, Smart Home Charge exceeded my expectations.

I had a home charger fitted for a new EV vehicle. Very professional prior to fitting. Spotted a safety issue with house earth and gave me advice as to how I rectified it. Arranged to fit it and gave me support to use the charger. Quality of charger is excellent and service of a similar standard. I would fully recommend the company.
