Highlights
"I chose Effective Home because they were recommended by Halifax, but the experience has been a catalogue of errors and mismanagement. After my deposit was take, the communication was poor. I was ignored for weeks by sales and compliance teams, and I eventually had to contact the DNO myself to move the application forward after Effective Home failed to do so for months. The installation day was very poor. Despite warnings during the design phase about roof dimensions by their own staff, the subcontracted team arrived with panels that were too large. I was pressured into accepting a smaller 5."
Detailed reviews
Please DON’T use this company! Just pay a little extra and use a local company. Two months after the install and I still do not have a fully working system! The Effective Homes salesman, Jack mis-sold and lied to me. You will be told that all the staff used on the install are Effective Home staff, but they are not! Effective Home essentially contacts out everything. The roofers, electricians, scaffolders, waste collection and equipment delivery were all subcontracted. This matters, and I would not have used them if I had not been mis-sold!
They are NOT an installer and sub-contract all work to local companies! The installation of our system went well, but the problems started when the system didn't work as promised. Effective Home don't respond unless you threaten to withhold payment. As soon as you made the final payment you don't get any meaningful response anymore! My system still doesn't work as advertised. Unfortunately, this problem occurred after my final payment. Hence radio silence from Effective Home. I am now considering legal action.
