The Improveasy Group Anmeldelser 

No proper explanation at the beginning of what we actually had to have installed to obtain the grant.After we signed up there was a considerable amount of pressure to do the work immediately even though we explained we had the loft to empty first and I was having treatment for cancer at the time.The gas boiler fitters were very good but everyone else didn’t stick to appointment times and turned up when they felt like it -once at 7.15 pm. The exposed pipes in the loft were not lagged despite repeated requests and we subsequently had to pay for that ourselves with someone else. Lack of returning phone calls from the company and responding to complaints. No one was taking responsibility.

Fantastic Joe and son excellent they work so well together. Tidy they removed a back boiler in its place a combi. A lot of work was involved it was second nature. I had no clearing up to do that is how tidy they work. Hope I can get them as a service provider and ditch British Gas

***WARNING TO ALL ELDERLY RESIDENTS IN MANCHESTER AREA, BEING ASKED ABOUT BOILER/ENERGY HELP GOVERNMENT SCHEME.

This company are appalling and preying on the elderly generation for their own gain.
The 1 star is for the engineer who fitted the boiler and did a good job.

They approached my 83 year old parent, who has no internet, no mobile etc, which they were made aware of at the assessment.
They removed the working boiler in situ and replaced it will a new one. Great, you would think- NO!

The new boilers have to be operated by Google Nest, and an app on a mobile, run by having internet. As my elderly father has NEITHER of these, and no intention of purchasing, he was left unable to use the new boiler.

We contacted Improveasy and someone went out and set something up on it. He went out next day and on returning home, his house was like a furnace.

There was no way the temperature could be lowered and he had no way to use the nest. Therefore, it had to be unplugged.

Several times I've requested a manual to set by hand.NOTHING!

I have also asked for a timer clock to be put on, so he can easily set times/days. NOTHING!

Upon speaking to them again, and asking for a different boiler to be put in, that can be used by elderly parent,I was told my elderly parent would now have to pay for one to be fitted, as the only get money from the Government, for fitting Google nest ones. If they want a manual clock fitted, to enable them to use it, they have to pay for it, at a cost of £150. Absolutely appalling, disgusting,con artists!!

You should be ashamed, preying on vulnerable people to line your pockets.
I will be raising with local MP and Ombudsman.

All good. New combin boioler fitted and working much better than the old one.

Improveasy organised funding for a new boiler through the government eco energy scheme. Everything was done quickly and efficiently from initial contact to installation.

Last time they said - "we are really sorry this mistake led to a 1 star review of our company. This looks like a typo. We do send 2 reminders before ceasing communication. We hope the messages have since stopped. Thank you." BUT the spam continues. Get it sorted. I've reported the latest scam attempts. The fact your email starts with "Hi Ldki," shows this is a scam.

Absolutely shocking what these have put me through!!! Solar system installed and next day when it woke up it tripped my house electrics, I put them back on and same thing again next day, called the electrician out and he came back and changed a few things. Then no problems for a while until 13 days ago when it tripped the house again. I put my electrics back on but the boiler would no longer work, I had British gas and my home insurance emergency cover out to look at the boiler, they both said the solar system must be wired wrong and couldn't fix the boiler. I called installeasy and told them what had happened and emphasized the fact I am disabled and their errors meant I had no heating or hot water which I need for one of my disabilities to regulate my body temperature or it can turn serious fast. They said they would call me back, over 24 hours passed and nothing so I complained to their regulatory body (NAPIT) who again contacted them on my behalf and told them they must resolve it within 24hours due to the health risks it posed for me. I heard absolutely nothing and my body core temperature dropped to an unsafe level causing other dangerous side effects, i couldnt risk being hospitalised and have kids to think about so I went to one of these companies that fit boilers the next day and took out a loan so my house was quickly safe to live in again, they fit a new boiler and told me to leave the solar system off. Turns out my house wasn't suitable to have a solar system fitted and this would've been picked up on had this company actually had have waited and let the professional surveyor company come round and check my property first, (I was oblivious that was meant to have been done until a month after the solar system had been fitted and i got the call from the external company that has to check your homes suitability for a solar system first!)I eventually got a call from improveasy over a week after originally making them aware i was without heating and hot water due to their failures, i advised i had to buy a new boiler and turn the solar system off, they said the electrical manager would phone me back. A few hours later I got a call to say the electrical manager is away and will pick this up and get back to me first thing when he's back in 5 days. That is today and it's late evening and what a surprise I have had no phone call!!! So they have caused me so much stress and nearly £2000 debt to just put my home back into the condition it was before they quickly and bodge jobbed a solar system into my house that won't even work atall now!!!!!

Could not recommend this Company highly enough. They were prompt, efficient, friendly and professional. A job well done with very little inconvenience to us

I had a brand new Ideal logic combination boiler fitted by Dan Hill & Dave Howard very proffessional , answer`d all questions i was concern`d about. we did incur a problem Dave howard went the extra mile & delivered . Thanks again Dave & Dan & thank the improveasy Group .

Edited review: Despite lots of install "issues" and a long time putting it right, I have edited my review to a 3 star due to the after service from Harry Khan, he is superb & made sure everything is right in the end.

I think this is fairer...a lot of these companies don't care once they walk off the job.

To all considering improve easy please be careful. They flooded by house leaving literally every single radiator open, plug sockets unscrewed from the wall, the plaster is so bad it has absolutely huge cracks in it and absolutely no response from anyone in the office. Yes my house is warmer but that's no excuse to allow such short falls.

After being accepted for an ECO23/GRANT Improveasy Ltd undertook the work to be carried out. Unfortunately the majority of work carried out was done to an unprofessional standard. I tried on numerous occasions to contact the management re: my concerns of the shoddy workmanship. I had no response from any of my enquiries until my writing to the managing director, this resulted in a telephone reply from a person called Harry he promised that all would be done to make things right. In the end I had to correct everything myself by employing a tradesman to make good all that was wrong with the work. After this I had a visit from an Installeasy operative called David Howard who agreed after viewing a photograph of part of the work that it was unacceptable and he would see that I got reimbursed for that cost, he also assured me he would return to fix trickle vents for all windows, as these should have been done. To date none of these assurances have been carried out. Appointments have been made and not kept. The problems I have mentioned are serious and distressing enough for any householder. However, something even more serious is the fact that a large proportion of my jewellery went missing while this work was being carried out. All in all a very stressful and distressing experience. I would not recommend Improveasy/ Installeasy to anyone.

Really sorry l have to write this review.When the team arrived in my home they assured me that care would be taken of all of my furniture etc .Well my home was trashed , they finished Friday with the promise they will be back Monday to put all the furniture back.All day Monday l was chasing for someone to come as promised to no avail.Chris did call to see if l was happy,l explained and he arrived within the hour and helped to get me straight.Chris sent someone over the next day to finish off.Unfortunatly l still have plugs hanging off the walls,cover for a filter is missing,and l think my loft insulation hasn't been laid . Really poor communication ,poor standard, no care taken with my home it was trashed sadly.

I am in a long going process with this company, which has now been nearly 2 years, 2021 and still ongoing.
I had windows fitted by Neoglaze and Improveasy is the finance that is dealing with the the payments.
The windows were not fitted properly which has now created damage to my house,
Improveasy are not taking responsibility and have been passing me over to different organisations. There is no custmer satisfaction or well being with this organisation.
I would stand well clear of them.
The Ombudsman has been involved, now the next step is court.

From start to finish the work was completed with total professionalism. Each person had consideration for our pets and our own personal space. From start to finish phone contact with the office was prompt and thoughtful

Review concerns both ImprovEasy and InstallEasy. Shambolic from start to finish (though not at the finish yet as Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) heating is broken again with a second ceiling damaging leak).

- Almost 18 months between first contact and the work beginning. Some of this time was due to circumstances beyond their control, but a lot of it was not.

- Months between payment and being given a start date, even then it was only because I wrote to the CEO.

- Me: "Will the heating be in before Christmas?"
Them "Definitely".
Installation was done the following March/April.

- In house communication between departments seems practically non-existent.

- Numerous instances of being promised someone will turn up or work will begin on a specific day, only to be sat at home all day with no one turning up and calls being unanswered.

- Internal Wall Insulation team seemed to have no idea what the survey said.

- ASHP team eventually turn up and say that the pump can't go where the surveyor said it would go.

- Pipe leak within days of installation, to be fair it was repaired very quickly. 2nd pipe leak a few weeks after installation, still waiting for a repair despite being given 2 dates when someone would fix it. The first was cancelled on the day, the second they just didn't turn up and didn't call.

- Much more but can't be bothered to type it right now - they've wasted enough of my time.

Initially we were introduced to the company salesman, Sean Mooney. Who promised us that we would be able to offer all sorts of financial packages to our customers. The rates would be low.

Most of what he said was complete lies.

They only allow you to offer 1 finance option to a customer. So you were chained to 1. So if your plan was 0% interest and the customer wanted BNPL this was actually not possible.

Second we were never told of the companies retention fee. They hold on to up to 10% of your balance until you have put through a certain number of orders with them.

Third they never mentioned that you are charged £199 if you send an application to a customer and its not filled out on time.

All to get you to do a very lengthy and time consuming application process so they have you over a barrel at this point.

When offering finance to our customers we were also never told of the huge amount of content, signatures and information needed before they will pay out on completion. No training is provided on this or warning. So you are left wondering along with the customer what is actually happening and they will hold on to every penny until multiple checks are done.

Best part is as I haven't used them since January. They have wrote to me informing me that they are terminating my contract with them due to inactivity.

Only thing that garners this company a star is Lesley Shaw who handled my numerous complaints really professionally.

Blessing in disguise.

Avoid this company at all costs. Having worked with Finance providers like Ikano and the Sherman group you as a company have much better options available to you.

We were stung badly.

I had a boiler installed by this company last year under the Government Grant Scheme. A year later when I had the first annual service carried out I I am very disappointed with the service I have received. I would advise you to avoid this company at all costs!

*APPALLING SERVICE. DO NOT USE.*

They have changed from Elite to The Improveeasy Group.

Their staff turn over seems very frequent too, so they must be an utter delight to work for!

Currently appointed a solicitor, just need to collate all info and await telephone calls logs from the company. If not (which they won't), I'll use the ones I have recorded myself.

Boiler fitted May 2021 and what a disgrace that was. That's putting it nicely.
I have a daughter with a disability so I expect things to be in safe, working order and to have minimal damage around the house.

All receipts have been put together of the damage I've paid to correct what I can afford through my own pocket, and the tradesmen who has sorted these (who do not work for Elite) have said they will write me a letter stating how poor and dangerous the boiler was prior to them looking at it. This was when I had my boiler serviced the other month.

Over 70 phone calls to Elite, and at least 30 emails. Only 2 acted on (... only just!). I could name all the staffs names, but I won't do for legal reasons.

The issues below were down to the poor boiler installation. I called and they sent someone round regarding some of the issues - but only one issues out of then all(water leak) was fixed. It was only fixed because I had to pay someone else to disgnose the leak.

*** Andy (I presume their handy man) has been and has fixed the leaking pipe in my bedroom where my old boiler tank was (after water damage/ plaster peeling/ mould gathering).

My sink is damaged during boiler installation. The actual inside of the sink has popped up, not the whole basin itself. So I could lift my sink out and there be a big hole with the draining board and taps still installed.
Andy resealed the sink baskn with a clean sealant underneath and ontop. It's leaking as it's peels when washing and has began to go green mouldy. I can't put anything under my sink because it is warping the wood and making the tin cans for cleaning rusty.

He neatened some wires that were left loose in the kitchen from the guys who fitted the boiler. (My Dad's an electrician and was shocked at them leaving the wires as they were near the sink and oven hob)
I replace the towels under the sink, but it's expanded the laminate wood. New flooring in the kitchen will be needed.

My bedroom carpet has 2 big burn marks and stained where they must've used a heated machine to put pipes together.
I asked about the damage to the carpet; the white splodges, and several circular burn marks. Andy said he can't do anything about that and advised me to contact Elite. Laughable.

The large water mark, lines of water, and cracks in the plaster board from the leak.
I sorted this water damage out and cracks myself but again, the materials are coming out if my own pocket. It won't cost a fortune for the materials, but is besides the point.
I've already spent £125 on the diagnostic for the leak with a separate tradesman who doesn't work for Elite. He commented that they'd have known there was. A leak when fusing the pipes together.

The funnel (?) At the top of the boiler wasn't fitted correctly.
Outside pipes needed more insulation.

Brickwork and dust left in the garden. My storage cabinet outside was used as a ladder, despite there being a ladder that I LET THEM USE!! The storage cabinet has a dint in it.

When having my service last month , the guy who came said that they'd fitted the wrong fuse, so put a new one in, he also said that the copper pipework he had fitted was too small, therefore I'm using more gas, and the pressure isn't good.
He said he will write me a letter when my solitors papers come through to back up my statement, as will the other guy who diagnosed the leak before Andy from Elite came to look at it. ***

Please avoid. I went with this company because they had the scheme to have boilers fitted cheaper. Taking a loan out and going with a proper company would've made more sense now.

Luckily for me. I took pictures of all pipework and kitchen surrounds before the work was done, and made sure all paperwork signed for by the DECENT tradesmen that came to help me.
