I have been dealing with Inspire now…

I have been dealing with Inspire now for the last 4 months after having an HMO Gas bill for £450 in one I had to look for alternatives to have control of the heating.

I got in contact with Georgina which I have to say has been just effectless to deal with.

Georgina has been able to advise me of what thermostats and how many thermostats for each HMO for the best efficiency. This has resulted in my bills in one HMO started to level out with a 50% degree in the gas bill and a decrease in gas usage for the hating in other HMO's

If you considering investing in inspire automation I would highly recommend diving into it even if you have an existing HMO portfolio. I would book a call with Georgina and get the best advice for your properties moving forward.

I would like to thank Georgina especially for all the help and the consistent advice on placement just amazing service all around.

Praise for product and service provided

I was impressed previously by the knowledge and helpfulness of all Inspireautomation folk I have talked to when purchases a thermostat previously. My recent, second purchase has re-inforced my view that as well as good products Inspireautomation should consider teaching/selling customer support and care courses to other companies.
Very please with purchases doing exactly what we required.

Excellent service

Excellent service, excellent product.
Got 4 landlord units now, letting me monitor these houses remotely. Means I can often sort heating problems at the houses without having to physically visit. Got a call checking I’d ordered the correct unit when I accidentally ordered a non-landlord unit prior to dispatch, great time saver!
Easy to get through to knowledgable tech support if have any tech issues, they’ve even modified some of their software to take on board some specific requests I made.

Best tech support chat I have ever used!

I knew absolutely nothing about internet controlled thermostats, and needed to get the unit transferred from a previous letting agent and up and running as the heating had gone off in my property and the vulnerable tenants were feeling the cold. Their tech support person Amy-Louise was fabulous! She quickly understood my situation and gave clear instructions on what I had to do to get the unit transferred, including calling me at a pre-arranged time to go over instructions in more detail. She then emailed my videos that showed my how to set up my unit, and when I ran into problems, she was on hand again to quickly sort them out, The unit is now working and the heating has come on, so my tenants are happy. This is the best customer service I have got from chat EVER! Thanks so much Amy!

Good customer service

Good customer service - next day delivery, and called to check address was correct. Landlord thermostat was straightforward to install (by my electrician) and works as advertised. The web site and app for controlling the thermostat are well designed and provide a good feature set. Have bought three more for other properties.

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service, on every set up I do I have been able to get assistance there and then on the live chat or phone and nothing is ever too much trouble, they really do go above and beyond.

The product itself is the best we have come across and we have them in all of our student houses, the app is so easy to use as well!
Can't thank the team enough for their support and help so far and we look forward to continuing to work with them.

Very helpful Technical support on phone and parcel arrived quickly as promised. This was a replacement for an old system which had packed up. One small gripe - the wiring instructions differed between physical unit and written instructions.

Buyer beware calendar connectivity

Certain features are great, but the calendar feature is extremely limited to certain formats of ical feed. Do not assume that your Channel manager is compatible with the heating receiver.

Thank you Mark for your feedback,

We are currently awaiting further information from 'Free to Book' as there booking system works differently to Super Control and other channel managers on the market. Their iCal feed only tells you that the day is not available where as others tell you the booking start and end date, ours work with as a booking period for change overs.

Please watch this space while we work with 'Free to Book' to make their platform compatible with our thermostats.

Again thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Love the units. Amazing personal service

After waiting too long I finally got inspire units set up in all my HMOs. Feels fantastic to have visibility of my heating/hot water and enables me to look after my tenants well but without them having the heating on 24/7 even in the summer! The service from Inspire is amazing. So refreshing to get through to real people easily. Especially when I needed a bit of handholding to get everything connected

Review from a heating engineer and landlord

As a heating engineer and HMO landlord, I love the inspire thermostat range. The flexibility to limit max temperature and to remove certain functions is exactly what a landlord needs. Easy to install and nice looking products are exactly what installers want.

It is wonderful to hear when we have a HMO landlord that is happy with our products but also to hear a heating engineer loves our products also. Well that is the icing on the cake.

Once again thank you for leaving a glowing review.

Further to my initial bad review i posted BEFORE purchase i can now confirm that service has been excellent specifically from Amy who has made the system a pleasure to now own. All the problems encountered were all in the pre-purchase stage as sales staff failed to respond and it took me over two weeks to actually place the order. Now i am glad i was patient as the system and after sales are second to none and again praise to Amy who needs a big gold star and recognition from the company of her outstanding customer support.

Again please accept our apologies that our sales team took longer to get back to you in the first instance.

I can see from our records that you have spoken to a number of our after sales team to assist with your setup and testing.

We pass your feedback to Amy who I am sure will be very happy she has managed to turn your negative review to a positive.
