Keith came and serviced our Ashp today, made a few adjustments, noted that there needs to be more pipe lagging and loft insulation needs to be put back after installation. Great job.

Written by the company

Upvolt helps homeowners take control of their energy with smart solar, battery storage and home energy management systems designed for your home. We know installing solar or upgrading your home energy system can feel confusing. There are lots of companies, lots of products, and it’s hard to know who to trust. The industry has become a race to the bottom in many places, with systems installed quickly and support disappearing afterwards. That’s not how we work. We provide a full end-to-end service, from system design and installation through to grid connection, monitoring and long-term support. Our goal isn’t just to install a system, it’s to build something that works for your home and continues working for years to come. Our regional teams bring over 15 years of experience in solar and home energy systems, combined with the support of a wider national network. This allows us to deliver high-quality installations while still providing local service and ongoing support. We believe homeowners should feel confident and informed when making decisions about their energy, not pressured or confused. That’s why we focus on honest advice, quality installations and long-term customer support. We’re not just here for the installation. We’re here for the life of your system.

A great renewable energy company.

We contacted OHM a year ago and an engineer visited our property and said he thought it was technically possible to install an Air Source Heat Pump. Subsequently we had some problems with local (EHDC) planners, that OHM helped resolve. In September 2020 a team installed the system very carefully and effectively over 4 days. Back office help with RHI support also very good.
We would definitely recommend OHM Energy.

Avoid

OHM installed a very expensive oil-fired boiler four years ago. The job was not finished properly (electrical work was not completed, leaving a junction box with exposed wires which shorted once the boiler sprang a leak). I have called OHM on numerous occasions in an effort to get the boiler sorted, but eventually gave up. The gentleman I needed to talk to was never available and months later has never returned my calls. On one occasion, they even claimed it was nothing to do with them, as they don't install oil boilers. Interestingly i was looking at their invoice for many thousands of pounds at the time! I have managed to get a replacement boiler fitted (the manufacturer paid for the boiler) using another company who have been appalled at the standard of work on the previous installation. It is quite possible that the fault in the boiler arose because the system was wrongly configured, causing excessive corrosion. The only recommendation i can give with regard to this company is "Avoid".

Hi Peter

Hope you are well.

We remember your installation in 2016 as we agreed with you to use an OFTEC registered installer (as we don’t generally install oil boilers) because there were very limited options for your property.

The last time we serviced your boiler was in 2017 and no electrical fault came up during that service.


You probably remember we couldn’t support any installation post-2017 as we haven’t had an OFTEC qualified operative since then.

We contacted the manufacturer for you and submitted details as the boiler was out of warranty so are very pleased to read they have now replaced the boiler for you.

We are very understaffed throughout this pandemic so apologies if we haven’t been as prompt as we usually are.

Many thanks
The OHM team

Very poor service -DO NOT use .

Very poor service . An engineer visited my home to fix a heat pump. They said they needed a part .I have waited 4 weeks to hear back - multiple phone calls to chase up . Empty promises for a call back and let me know what is happening . . The manager is uncontactable . V poor customer service . I have given up . I do NOT recommend .

Good afternoon Emma,
I appreciate your feedback and have looked into the matter. Our response time is somewhat slower during these times.
Looking back at the diaries and this period it is clear that we had a skeleton staff operating due to COVID. This caused problems on the availability of parts and much longer lead times. Sorry your experience was not a good one, but we have 1,000s of happy customers over the last 10 years.
We wish you well.
The Team at OHM
