We have had solar panels

We have had solar panels, heat pump,new boiler,and a radiator fitted. The whole team from electricians, plumbers and the fitter of the solar panels, every one of the was fantastic they were friendly, explained everything and were very tidy. The sub contractor that fitted the solar panels found we had 2 broken tiles, he went and sourced a couple and fitted them and never charged me.the whole experience was brilliant.

Excellent energy improvement company

Just had CRG carry out energy improvements on our home under the Warmer Home Scheme. Everything was carried out on schedule and even the one thing which wasn’t it was arranged over the weekend so we didn’t have to wait until the Monday. The guys doing the work were very efficient and friendly. Anybody considering any solar or other energy improvements to their home please consider this company as you won’t regret it.

The A Team

Tom ,Mark and Sharni are a great team
They were friendly and professional .
And explained what they were doing and how things would operate.
They also explained how long the work would last
They started on 14th and finished 16th May 2025
We were impressed how tidy they left house each day .
All the boxes etc and old heaters etc were taken away on last day here.
Not forgetting Raf who fitted the solar panels.

Awful after care

Installation was great, after care absolutely shocking, have an issue with the air conditioning unit they installed, called at least 10 times in the last year, no one ever answers, leave a message and no one has ever called me back, unfortunately now would never recommend them then to anyone, would just like them to call me back and redeem themselves??!!

Great company, Great Job.

Great company, everyone very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a very successful solar panel installation a couple of years ago by CRG and we have now had them back to install 2 air conditioning units. Very happy on each occasion with the clean tidy professional workmanship. Would highly recommend.
Thank you CRG.

I have been trying to contact customer…

Edit: if you had read my review properly you would have read that my emails are not getting through either, so replying saying to email you is really not good enough.

Ihave been trying to contact customer service number for over a week now and I cannot get through. It would seem they have blocked my number, and when I try and email my email cannot get through either. All I want is for the work to be completed. Solar fitted, took over 3 weeks for it to actually be set up correctly and am now trying to get through as the app set up does not work or link to the inverter, of which they had set up to another address. There seems to be a total lack of any after care support.

Hi please email info@crgdirect.co.uk our phone system has recently been upgraded which may have caused this issue.
Hi we cannot block phone numbers on our system. We would love to help you but unfortunately have no way of knowing who you are, I am currently unsure how we can communicate with you. As you can see we are keen to talk to all our customers. If you could post your reference number here we will contact you.

Top tier solar company

Lance and the team spent many hours designing a custom system based on my family’s energy usage and budget.

The process from start to finish was second to none and the installation team were brilliant even with some fussy requests that I made, nothing was a problem.

100% recommendations from me.

Good company but communication could be better

Overall we are pleased with how CRG installed the solar panels on our house. There was an issue with communication, as what we were told was going to be the position of the panels was changed at the last moment without informing us. The first battery did not work properly but CRG fixed that quite quickly. Having a battery is really useful in the Winter as you can charge up when electricity is cheap (and there isn't so much sun!).

Completely ignored me when there was a problem.

I had five quotes from four companies for solar panels. Chose CRG for the overall proposal, not simply price. It was installed at the end of January and nine months in I am very pleased with the panels, battery and inverter. It took some nagging after installation to get questions answered and loose ends sorted. My real complaint, however, is about the iBoost, a £500 device which uses spare power to top up the hot water. It works, but after monitoring it for several months I found the reduction to the gas consumed by the boiler was marginal at best. I would have done better to keep my £500 and sell the surplus to the grid. Then I found on their website that I cannot use an iBoost with a gas boiler. The website says explicitly that they do not recommend it. I should have been told this at the beginning. I tried four times to take this up with CRG, by email, phone, website and letter, and was ignored each time.

Hi Barry, the iboost doesn't work with Gas combi boilers that do not have an emmerision heater which yours has and will have a had some benefit. Where I think you have not benefitted as much is the SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) was at 4pence when you took the solution and has now gone up to nearer 15p add to this the cost of gas has stabilised meaning your savings are reduced.

one of the best in the solar installation business

We approached a number of companies for a new solar installation, having no prior experience. CRG were by far the best in understanding our needs and providing the best solutions. Jack, who dealt with us, was brilliant, responding to all our questions and concerns and revising the original proposal to come up with the most suitable system. CRG were also very competitive on the price and, unlike some of the other companies, Jack did not try to sell us anything which did not make sense for our needs. We are looking forward to the survey and installation to follow and will complete our review once done.

Top company and top customer service. Lot's of scammers out there who promise the earth and don't deliver so CRG were a godsend! Melissa worked with us from start to finish putting our minds at ease and the install team were magnificent. Couldnt be happier!
