Disappointing Experience: Promised Collective Subsidy Support Never Materialized
I chose Isoguard solely because of the discussions during the sales visit regarding a collective municipal subsidy in Hilversum. During that meeting, the representative assured me that the collective subsidy would be executed and made handwritten notes referring to "Neighborhood collective", "Help with subsidies", and "Execution of collective: 2nd/3rd week November".
The insulation work itself was completed. However, after the work was finished, I made multiple follow-ups by email regarding the collective subsidy and the required neighboring participants. After several exchanges, I was eventually informed that Isoguard does not have any participating postcodes or collective participants available and therefore cannot assist further with the collective application.
What I find particularly disappointing is that the collective arrangement was presented during the sales process as something that would take place. At no point was it made clear to me that there might not actually be a collective in place, or that obtaining enough participants could become my own responsibility after the work was completed.
The expected collective subsidy was €2,000, and this was the primary reason for my decision to proceed with Isoguard. Had I known beforehand that no collective participants had been secured and that Isoguard would not be able to provide support afterward, I would have made a different decision.
Positives
Insulation work was completed as agreed.
Negatives
Lack of transparency regarding the collective subsidy arrangement.
Multiple follow-ups were required to obtain a clear answer.
No practical support was provided for the collective subsidy despite the expectations created during the sales process.
Disappointing post-sales handling of the issue.
My advice to future customers is to ensure that any subsidy-related commitments, collective participation arrangements, or promised support are explicitly documented in writing before signing a contract.
This review reflects my personal experience and the correspondence I have had with the company.
