Great Support

In the last few months, I have had to ask for support about different issues with some of inspire receivers we have installed because the original engineer has creased trading. The support I have received via chat and on call back by Mathew, Amy and Jessica has been amazing.

Such helpful staff

I needed to try and fine a solution to our heating across the 7 houses our charity PCC run.
I was so impressed with the Inspire landlord thermostats. The staff from inspire were incredibly helpful in getting me to understand what product we needed. They also came to our rescue when we gave the wrong delivery address ensuring a 15hr turn around!!! Very grateful to you all👍👍👍

If you want to stop waste in your rental property read on

My recent experience was a slight problem with my system promptly and expertly resolved in double quick time. The system was simple to install and set up, and the big bonus? A refund of over £800 from my energy provider in less than one year, in a holiday let property this system in my opinion is not just desirable, it is essential.

Amy has been great today helping me…

Amy has been great today helping me sort out a technical hitch with our internet and the thermostat. She was so patient with me. Thanks Amy. I love the control over the heating system. Wish we had put them in ages ago. They are making sure our properties are warm but not too warm.

The product so far is great

The product so far is great. It was easy to install and set up. I'm a bit of a "technophobe" so was concerned about how to use all the settings...but the on-line chat was very responsive ...and the 10 min call from technical support was very useful, they were very patient with me ! It was really quite simple....I need'nt of worried. Its our first Airbnb property ..we plan to develop more so will definately install more as we go along.

Good product let down by customer service

The product is good and seems to be working as it’s supposed to. My big problem was with the customer service prior to purchase. Extremely difficult to contact and never got back to me when they said they would. Took over 2 weeks to sort out. Very complicated system to get to speak to someone who actually knew about the various products on offer to enable me to order the right one and I had the electrician booked to come well in advance while the property was empty, so time critical. Almost gave up. I am dreading something going wrong with it and having to go through the customer service ordeal again, so 🤞they get more staff.

Good and bad

The product is excellent. The customer service is the opposite. Trying to get any response is almost impossible.

Heating control

Great to see the temperatures in our HMO on our phone! Some tenants kept the windows open all day in winter, and we've been able to show them the effect on the temperatures in the house and to make them aware of the wasted energy with tangible data.
