    Solar Panel Installation

    Posted 23 May

    Not the smarter choice.

    Avoid this company. They are chaotic and provide poor work. I ordered a £13k solar system from Heatable, and Smarter Utilities was the installer. They arrived unannounced, ignored plans, and left the battery improperly secured. On one occasion, a tech turned up unannounced, tripped the main consumer unit, and drove off without telling anyone. This left the house without power, forcing my 66-year-old mother—who had mobility issues—to climb a ladder into the attic to reset it. This caused months of delays and cost us hundreds. Avoid them, even if booking through Heatable.

    Service and review of the solar installation in the property to get the panels generating.

    The service provided was outstanding and the issue located quickly and resolved. for the first time in nearly 5 years our panels are generating electricity. I can't recommend this company enough.

    Activating my solar battery storage system

    David was highly knowledgeable regarding the solar system I had installed. He arrived on time that we agreed and was quick and efficient to get things assessed and completed. Highly recommend you contact Smarter Utility to discuss any issues.

    Fuseboard / Consumer Unit Installation

    Posted 21 February 2025

    Fusebox replacement and outdoor/EV sockets fitted

    Great and thorough service, and went the extra mile to fit an EV adaptor which wasn't part of original quote

    Fuseboard / Consumer Unit Installation

    Posted 06 February 2025

    Had original 1970s fuse board to replaced to modern standards,

    Jamie did a great job especially fitting me in a short notice. The old 1970s fuse board replaced with a more modern replacement to meet new standards and safe. Jamie is really reliable, friendly and trustworthy which is hard to find these days
