Great company

Great piece of technology for Landlords. Easy to set up. And gives us lots of control. Will be buying more of these devices. Thanks, Kenny

Happy customer

Arrived on time easy to install and set up. I've just kept the standard settings because they seem pretty good but will change if needed. A must for any landlord.

Switched around 8 of our properties…

Switched around 8 of our properties over to inspire to replace existing HMO specific thermostat we had installed to help control/adjust settings remotely, to maximise tenant comfort and energy efficiency. I must say, they are very easy to use and update from the app, loving that I can copy all the settings between each property, saving a tonne of time! So far, I'm really impressed with these.

A landlord system tenants can easily hijack

I reviewed Inspire in 2022 with a glowing revew, we'veused them in a numberof properties. I have to say we've found an issue which really does need resolving.

A long staying guest managed to get the Inspire control.assigned over to them. Very simply, no checks. We received an email to say it was being re-assigned and to click the link if it wasn't valid. The link however went to a blank page! We had to go through customer services and a long drawn out process to regain control, providing proof that wasn't needed by the contractor.

This isn't a one off either. When selling a property, the new owner could simply reassign the controllers without our permission. Although valid on this occasion, it shows that the landlord system can ver easily be hijacked without access to the owner's email or details.

Best decision ever

This is exactly what I wanted for our 5 bedroom HMO. Now able to control heating remotely and prevent heating being left on indefinitely by tenants. Ignite smart sensor in each room can be controlled by tenants. This has significantly reduced cost of heating. This is needed due to high cost of energy at this time. Tenants are happy that they are kept warm.
It seems there is no recognition if windows are left open for long.

The sales team were apparently helpful…ok in end but a lot of effort

The sales team were apparently helpful when I spoke to them. But there were many emails to them which were ignored, apparently there was a problem with their email system and the emails were going to their junk email and ignored

Eventually did a final attempt to buy using the chat on their website.and the person I had dealt with phoned back and said she would look at the emails and comeback.

This is when the service changed from poor to FANTASTIC, Georgina phoned me back at 7pm told me what I needed, took the order and the order was dispatched following day and received day after.

In summary everything ok in end, but I needed to do a lot of work ( hope the product is worth it) suggest management really do address their email system

Best HMO thermostat currently on the market

Great product, nice and simple to use. If you already have an external receiver and are just swapping over to this, takes 10 minutes just to rewire the receiver.
Customer service is superb, and the webchat replies immediately and can look in detail at your account and they have solved my misunderstandings and minor issues quickly and efficiently. I'm expecting this to pay for itself in less than 6 months!
