    REAL and MCS - Pointless?

    A lot of people were suggesting that the FITs cuts wouldn't be so bad as at least it would get the crap out of the industry. I think they were badly mistaken. Firms still hugely exaggerate the returns and they are still doing very nicely. On the few surveys I have done (doing one this morning...

    Different Types Of Customers

    Have noticed now by doing lots of jobbing that there are 3 types of customers. One type is really concious and wants the best equipment and peace of mind for safety, the flip side to these customers is that they are really fussy and look over you when you are doing the job and ask so many...

    Why do customers lie?

    So just spent an hour investigating a fault on a customer's lighting circuit (MCB tripping). He has lived there for over ten years. I asked him if anybody had done any work on the wiring recently, he said none of the electrics had been touched whilst he has lived there. Seemed to be a dead...

    On Site Card Payments by Customers -Options

    I'm thinking about finding a way to get electronic money from customers on site, rather than cheques (these are getting more redundant evey day) or cash (customers never have enough of this, do they? And HMRC are looking at YOU!) I'm often get funds transfers direct into my bank account or via...

    Yet another spark robbing customers!

    Just got back from a customer who has asked me to quote for rectifying some issues brought to light during a recent inspection. The customer came to me because the previous spark had let him down and failed to turn up when supposed to on four different occasions. Turns out this NIC 'approved'...

    Housing association solar.

    Spoke to a chap today who lives in a council house and was offered free solar, (i know the installs are far from the best) and he said he did not want it as it does not work, also offered an ASHP, and did not want that either... I was shocked.. If it is a council house you do not have the...

    Hard Work Pays Off

    I've had a particularly busy and tough week - not bad, as all the jobs pretty much went to plan. The icing on the cake has been 2 customers who have rung to say how pleased they are with my work. Yes, I'm blowing my own trumpet, but at times like these when its tough out there its really good...

    Is the REAL Assurance Scheme really a useless waste of money for customers?

    Having read other posts about peoples’ opinion of REAL, here is the experience of a customer. After trying unsuccessfully for over a month to get the installer to come and investigate issues with our PV installation, I finally resorted to the comfort and assurance we, as customers, are...

    sometimes the customers intellect needs questioning

    took this in back of a sarnie shop, only reason im been called in is because the stainless splash back is been replaced by a full height one and she asked me to re-route the plastic conduit they were unaware it was doing any damage to the conduit DOH!

    The Solar PV Feed in Tariff is GENEROUS at 2012 prices!!!!

    There seems to be some misinformation in the mainstream media that the post cut tariff is no more or not worth considering. The truth is that returns are in the 10-12% region in the south of the UK and as good as they were for most of last year: Half price solar provides similar rates of return...
