Engineer was excellent, company is a con. Avoid.

The engineer who did the install was professional and competent. That's the only good thing about this experience.
I provided full property details with a video upfront. They issued a written quote based on all of it. On install day, the engineer said an additional 10 metres of cable was needed and I'd need to pay extra. Nothing about my property had changed since the quote was issued.
When I asked how they got the estimate so wrong, I got no proper explanation. I offered to meet them halfway on the additional cost. They refused and held the work hostage: pay in full or the install doesn't proceed. They had already rescheduled once and I had taken two days off work. No option to refuse without losing the install entirely.
The contrast is striking. Pre-sale: the sales person was responsive, available, eager to jump on calls. Post-sale on install day when problems arose: nowhere to be found, dismissive when reached. Still chasing the installation certificate.
Use Smart Home Charge, Octopus Energy Services, or EV Driver instead. The engineer who did my install deserves a better company to work for.

Thank you for your feedback. Before your installation, a virtual survey was completed over the phone based on the information available at the time. When our engineer attended your property, it became clear that an additional 10 metres of cable and Kopex conduit were required to complete the installation safely and in accordance with the installation requirements. As these additional works meant the installation fell outside the scope of a standard installation, additional charges applied.

As soon as the additional cable requirements were identified, the situation and associated costs were explained. Unfortunately, we are unable to reduce or absorb the cost of additional materials required to complete an installation, as these are charged at cost when an installation falls outside the scope of a standard install. We pride ourselves on delivering safe, high-quality installations, and ensuring the correct materials are used is an important part of that commitment.

We appreciate that this was not the outcome you were expecting and understand your disappointment. However, some installation requirements can only be identified once our engineer is able to carry out a physical assessment of the property.

Regarding your electrical installation certificate, this is issued by email within 28 working days from the date of installation. If this timeframe has passed and you have not yet received it, please contact us directly on 0203 7957117 and we will be happy to investigate this for you.

Great Experience

Jack P was brilliant and came up with lots of ideas and solutions to any problems or obstacles. He arrived on time and was very quick, thorough and professional. He also helped us find where the earth bonding for the Gas & Water supplies entered the property. Very Happy

Contact with the company was very good

Contact with the company was very good, they kept me informed of every step of the process. Engineer came on time and was very good at his job. Installation went without any hitch, very clean working, fast and professional. Even called the DNO to notify of the install and to request a visit to replace a failed component on my electric panel.
Very recommended and thank you 🙏🏿

Instillation of Omhe car charger

I can highly recommend Steve and Stuart. They installed an Ohme car charger for me and were quick, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and tidy.
Once installed, Steve took me through the charging process to ensure I knew what I was doing and the installation is very neat. All in all a very positive experience from a professional outfit.
10/10 🙌😊

Hugely professional and flexible

Hugely professional and flexible with our requirements. Close contact through WhatsApp and on the phone following the completion of their online form, set the whole thing up over a bank holiday weekend and came out the following week to line up with the arrival of our car. Communication on the day of the install was exemplary, we were told an exact time and the installer arrived on the dot. Lewis was fantastic and highly professional doing a neat job without any issues. All working perfectly and received the installation certificate via email today.

Engineer did a great job

Engineer did a great job. Initially the installation was booked for the following 10 days, however, there was a cancellation and it got installed much earlier.

Able to spread the costs to a few monthly payments is very handy as well.

Would recommend 100%

Poor communication

The installer arrived late and was unable to complete the installation. Afterward, there was no communication from the company regarding when the work would be finished, so I had to chase them for an update. I received no response until the day before the installer was due to return, which meant I had to take additional time off work.

Communication and speed of services was excellent.
Instalation man was polite and left things tidy however he did drill hole from inside to outside which resulted in a big chunk of brick falling out .
This maybe a problem when my landlord inspects works.

Online quotation call back

I’ve been through the online quotation process twice. On both occasions I’ve requested a call back as I have questions that need answering. No call received. Why should I believe any order and installation process would be handled professionally?

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We're sorry to hear that your callback requests were missed. We understand why this has left you questioning our service, and we apologise for the poor experience.

This is not the level of customer service we strive to provide. If you're still interested in an installation, we'd welcome the opportunity to answer your questions and restore your confidence. Please contact us on 0203 7957117 and we'll arrange for a member of our team to get in touch.

Left Without a Charger Due to Poor Communication and Poor Customer Service

PlugIn-Stations failed to inform me that my confirmed EV charger installation would not be going ahead. I only discovered this on the installation day after taking time off work and contacting them myself.
I was then told that a site survey was required before installation could proceed, despite having already submitted all requested information and having received a confirmed installation date. No email or text message was sent to notify me of this change.
As a result, I wasted a day's leave, have been left without a home charger, and must continue relying on public charging facilities, which are significantly more expensive and far less convenient.
What made the experience even more frustrating was the customer service response. Rather than taking ownership of the issue or offering a meaningful explanation or solution, I was repeatedly given the same response and felt that my concerns were simply being dismissed.
This entire situation could have been avoided with proper communication and a more customer-focused approach.

Thank you for your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience. To clarify, your original installation could not proceed as we required some additional information before the installation could be completed. We offered to attend your property on 12th June between 1:00pm and 4:00pm to carry out a site survey; however, this was declined.

Unfortunately, a subsequent installation appointment on 30th June had to be cancelled due to engineer sickness, for which we sincerely apologise.

We're pleased that we were able to attend your property on 23rd July and successfully complete your installation. We appreciate your patience throughout the process and apologise again for the inconvenience caused.

If you would like to discuss anything further please contact us on 0203 7957117 and a team member will be happy to help.

Good price, excellent service

Firstly price was very reasonable and about £500 less than octopus was wanting to charge. The phone service was prompt and the engineer that came to fit the charger was fanatistc. Very knowledgeable, could show me how it worked and all the hints and tips of having an EV for the first time. Thoroughly recommend
