I was on the chat box and asked Abby if…Great customer service.

I was on the chat box and asked Abby if she could call me instead, she did and it made the whole process easier. She also went off to get advice on a couple of other heating systems and responded with a very thorough email detailing what I had to do.
It was nice to talk to someone who wanted to help. Doesn`t happen very often. Thank you.

Help from Inspire rep ( Morgan ) was exceptional.

10⭐️ for Inspire Automation and the team.


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to say a huge thank you to Abby from Inspire Automation. She went truly above and beyond while I was having technical trouble, right when we were expecting guests at our Lodge. Abby was an absolute angel – patient, understanding, and always coming back to me with more information and solutions.

After about four and a half hours of troubleshooting together, we finally managed to get everything up and running for our guests. On top of that, Abby kindly forwarded me a newer version of the system. We’ve been happily using the same system for over five years (and before us the previous people used it many years before), and it was such a relief to know that real people – not just automated responses – are still there to support us.

Many thanks from the bottom of my heart to Abby and the technical team who helped us yesterday. Your dedication and kindness made all the difference.

I asked a technical installation…

I asked a technical installation problem on the chat bot. I was having difficulty connecting a new thermostat.

Within minutes Morgan had called me on the phone. She spent 36 minutes talking me through all the connection procedures and after discovering that I had input the wrong password for the router, we were up and running.

I have never had such good service from an on line company in my entire internet life.

Quite extraordinary. She even refused the offer of a box of chocolates.

An abolute joy of a company and the thermostats have saved me £100s over the years.

Service above and beyond

Service above and beyond. I had an issue with an old unit and Morgan who works there was so responsive and helpful also followed up above and beyond really caring to checkthat the issue was resolved. Customer service of this standard is so rare nowadays it’s a pleasure when a company and their staff clearly care for the customer experience.

Efficient

I think the crew at Inspire home are a no nonsense crew they do their work professionally & efficiently. Have always gone above and beyond. Panday 381 & Mudassar 3939 came and fixed my water tank promptly.

I am a landlord

I am a landlord and have inspire systems in my tenanted properties. The engineer that had installed the units was not available to assist the British gas engineer who was fitting a Gas smart meter and was unfamiliar with these units. Abbey in customer service offered immediate and excellent support

We really like the Inspire thermostats - I am a landlord and have used it for the third time, and really like the two zone set up so you can control different areas of the house. Its great to be able to navigate schedules using the phone app too! Great customer assistance - always able to help quickly.

Changing ISP and Router update

I changed my ISP and was wrestling with the numerous gadgets updating them to the new router by downloading manuals, Ai, Utube and chat bots. Abbie at Inspire answered my forlorn message in an online chat straight away and had my system sorted in the shortest time of everything. I wish she could have fixed all the others as well. As an early adopter of Inspire I have loved using the system and it’s easy to analyse graphs and schedule set ups. I hope I don’t have to change it if I ever move to air source. Well done Inspire Home automation.

What do you have to do to get Inspire to respond?!

The product would appear to be everything we want. Three thermostats for our local village hall. The phone consultation backed this up and I was promised a quote/proposal. This was in 11th March 2025.

And that is where it all stopped!

It is now three months later and despite regular chasing both by phone and email we have received nothing. Georgina, who conducted the consultation is always in a meeting, the various members of staff who do pick up the phone are always polite and courteous and assure me they will speak directly with her and get us a reply. But never to any avail. Still total silence.

This gives us no confidence that similar issues of total lack of customer support won't plague us if we do finally get a reply and go ahead with the purchase and installation.

It is a great sadness such an innovative company cannot get their act together on something as simple as sales and customer support.

You know how it is with Tech

You know how it is with Tech - it gets old and wobbly ( a bit like me) and sometimes it needs help to stand up straight (like me) but when my heating controls started playing up the team at Inspire were there to offer great help - and VERY patiently too.
After many days - and many variations we isolated the problem to MY network, not the Inspire technology - so great service and the old tech still works great too!

Inspire Technical Support upport

I install inspire systems as either upgrades or new installs on a regular basis... Unusually today I stumbled on a problem which I struggled to rectify so I got in touch with technical support via the app... A guy called Tom called me back... I have to say this guy is a total bossman... He originally listened to the problem I was encountering and then literally went through it step by step.. He was talking like he could literally see my phone screen.. From the way he was figuring it all out literally over the phone made me think he must be one of the top masterminds at inspire and I say with pleasure I was fortunate enough to able to speak to him today... To be fair I find all the staff to be very helpful on the technical support team but this guy just operates on another level I must have thanked him a 100 times but he was just really humble with his replies.. I just want to say I wish you well mate and again thank you very much
