Gareth Moore was brilliant
Gareth Moore was brilliant. Professional, polite and explained what had happened and why the boiler was not heating our water after the heat pump was installed. He worked with Dennis the electrician from Newtown, who was also great and both fixed the problem.
After a month of our boiler not working we had a number of people come and leave saying they couldn’t fix it! By week 4 I was losing hope so when Dennis and Gareth fixed it, I was very grateful!

General standard of tradesmen very…
General standard of tradesmen very good,
Special mention to the team that put up the solar panels on what seemed like the wettest day of the year,Kieran Brown and Evan for the fiddly job with the fans on flat roof to bathroom and small utility room, the plumber from Wrexham who installed the hybrid air source in a day!!
(Unfortunately it broke down and W/Bosch had to be called out twice by us for repair)
Only down side is the customer service department which is none existent and needs to be called out on here.
Would have put another ⭐ if that was a working number,shame really.
Just to respond to your comment I wish to reiterate that in my experience with you if there is a problem post installation the only way to contact anyone is via the sales team,they then relay the complaint/concern "upstairs". I had to contact Wbosch to resolve the first issue,on the second breakdown we had to wait 4 days for one of your service managers to come and do the repair.
If you have a dedicated customer service contact number active for 10 years then staffing it accordingly should be easy,being on hold continuously is unacceptable.

Dear Geraint,
Thank you for your review and for recognising the hard work of our installation teams — we’re delighted to hear that Kieran, Evan, and the Wrexham plumbing team all delivered such a high standard of workmanship, even in challenging conditions.
We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your heating system, though we understand that Worcester Bosch have since attended and resolved this.
With regard to your comment about our contact number — we’d like to clarify that our customer service line has been active and fully operational for over 10 years, so we’re not entirely sure what may have caused the difficulty reaching us. Our number is always available during business hours, and our team are happy to assist with any queries.

Awful experience
If you want your house to be ruined then this is the company for you. I can’t even begin to start listing the errors that have been made during the whole process but we are left to fork out thousands of pounds in repair costs. When the independent inspector turned up he wasn’t surprised by the quality of work or the bad customer service. He said “CES is one of the worst”. So please do yourself a favour and listen to the expert - use a different company. There’s been a BBC documentary about CES. Look it up, I wish I had. Im now going through ofgem. The work started back in May and it still hasn’t been completed. My house no longer feels like my home. Very disappointed in the whole process.

Two excellent plumbers Mohammed Heyat and Qasim. They have managed a very difficult installation as this is a very old property with thick stone walls, different floor levels and little space. Our furniture was often in the way.
The guys have just got on with the job never complaining about the difficulties but demonstrating a high degree of competence and professionalism.

What a fantastic team in Jay, Alex and Anthony
What a fantastic team installing radiators and airsource. Jay and Alex for 1st few days then Anthony as well . Their work rate was great but nothing felt as if was rushed. Very thorough in explaining anything we needed and we asked a lot of questions as they went along. Very courteous and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. Great job. Left the place immaculate. Very happy 😊 A**

Good start by CES.
Had a survey carried out by Michael Lloyd. Very efficient and thorough. Took loads of photos for an installation of solar, heat pump and insulation to be carried out. Trust that the installation will be as professional.

Thank the Lord for Gareth Moore
I had been without heat for 13 days due to incorrect wiring to the heat pump,and then Gareth Moore arrived on site.He was polite and courteous and it was obvious he knew what he was doing. Within a short period everything was corrected and I had heat again. His customer care was first class and he restored my faith in the company.

After several visits to our home
After several visits to our home, we were told our application had been approved. We even followed up to double-check and were reassured again that everything was fine. Then, after chasing once more for the instalment date, we were suddenly told we no longer met the threshold. It’s been really frustrating and confusing. I do wonder if the Welsh Government knows how this company is operating.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We completely understand how disappointing this situation must have been for you. Unfortunately, the eligibility criteria for ECO-funded installations are determined by the energy companies, not by us, and can change without warning. When this happens, applications that were previously approved can sometimes be withdrawn — something that is entirely beyond our control.
While we do appreciate your frustration, it does seem unfair to leave a one-star review for circumstances outside of our influence, as we are required to follow the rules and funding conditions set by the scheme administrators. Our team always aims to communicate any changes as soon as we are made aware of them.

Air source
Anyone else had trouble with this company. Loads of problems during fitting but i thought everything had been sorted. Obviously not . We did not use the air source much in the summer as the weather was hot.So we could not pick up if there was any problems.
But now i need it it does not come on all the time and the boiler does not kick in when it is supposed to.
Two e mails sent last week and still nobody has been in touch ,this is still under warranty.
If i still plays up i will get my plumber to disconnect it and will go back to my oil boiler which is more reliable.

Only saving Grace this horrific company have are the amazing Andrew and Ged who worked in my home
Firstly, let me be clear, this review is in no way a reflection of the hard work, skill, and professionalism Andrew and Ged showed throughout the 2 weeks of work.
They worked tirelessly throughout, were always polite, great at communicating the plans, and just truly respectful, skilled workers.
When electricians or plumbers arrived, they were all very nice.
Now, this is where this review turns sour.
CES have clearly taken on a contract with this Welsh grant they are ill equipped to manage.
Their call centre, i assume, only has 3 people at most working there, so once their sales patter is complete, you will then be on hold upwards of 60-90 minutes to speak to anyone whilst the work is ongoing, AND YOU WILL NEED TO.
CES are incapable of organising essential workmen to attend to ensure that the work being carried out can be done!
I can not explain how many times I had to ring to project manage this whole process myself. Whether that was calling to arrange plumbers, electricians, materials, chasing up, reporting, or resolving issues.
Even when you do get through and you think that something has been put in place. Please expect a call 2 days later that the workman you spent 2 hours arranging to come won't have been booked, and you'll have to do it all again.
This will delay your project
It will also delay the amazing boys working tirelessly in your home and ensuring that CES dont have to pay them a bonus for completing the work on time or early. Is this deliberate or just purely down to their incompetence, who knows!
So we have a company that cannot plan the most basic of requirements for such work to commence or progress, like plumbers and electricians. Dont answer calls or you are on hold for hours, dont correctly book in essential workers to attend or cancel appointments
Now let's add on the pure disruption, chaos and mess.
Let's add on the cost to yourself, not just monetary but your time and effort.
You will be constantly cleaning. The dust gets everywhere. No surface will ever be clean. Youll have plastic and tools throughout.
The cost to run space heaters when you have no radiators. Which you have to ask for yourself once you find out you wont have heating as this wont be a given to them. Because be warned !! DAY ONE, ALL THOSE RADS ARE COMING OFF. IT WONT BE ROOM BY ROOM. THEY FAIL TO TELL YOU THIS UNTIL WORK COMMENCES.
The time off work youll have to take.
The inability to have a single room accessible and clean to spend time with your children or family.
Let's keep going with the mountain of unprofessional errors shall we.
The work is now complete HAHA no its not!
Its now Friday and the work was supposed to be done Tuesday.
I still have no radiators, I still have a list of unfinished work as long as the wall of China.
Can I get hold of the office haha Nope! And guess what... yep they are closed Friday till monday, oh and even turn their phone lines off during the week for lunch.
Im actually tired of typing this. I am exhausted, cold, angry and truly fed up of this horrific company and I would recommend not using them will every fibre of my being.
Final note. Thank you Andrew and Ged, without you two I think I would have given up day 1. You deserve a bonus and then some
