“Very professional company from day one. Best overall proposal received out of the 5 quotations I received. Good technical knowledge compared with the majority of solar installers. Communication was great keeping me updated on a regular basis and installation was very smooth.”
“What impressed me about the Smart Group was there were no sales people and all the pre installation was done over the phone, no high pressure sales chat. It is such a lot of money to spend you want to have a company that you can trust.”
“Coldest week of the year and we had the ASHP installed. The guys just came and worked, and worked, and worked. Everything done very professionally and they tidied up after themselves every day.”
“We are absolutely delighted with the ASHP fitted by Smart Group, it's totally transformed our home from a freezing cold hovel, to a cosy wee home. I was nervous as I'd never seen, or heard an ASHP, but it has really warmed our house up.”
“Smart Group fitted a 7.3 kW solar array along with a 15 kW battery system to my house. The system was fitted a few days ago and is performing excellent, I have been using 2kW from the grid opposed to 40kW.”
“The installation started exactly as scheduled and the team worked hard for three days — as predicted. They went out of their way to achieve tidy solutions to the challenges. Very satisfactory, looking forward to a cosy winter.”
