Had a recent visit from an Activ8 sales rep. As said before, guy was very nice. Very strong on the 'demonstration property in our area' and the subsidies etc that would flow from that.
He was looking for a signature there and then - reassuring us that a cooling off period applied. I have been advised that this only applies to a 'cold call scenario'. He presented me with evidence of 99% customer satisfaction rating. Said they had 16,000 installations in Ireland.
However, anxious not to miss a good deal, I did a bit of quick research. That many installations with 99% customer satisfaction would have yielded a much more positive profile on the net.
With that many installations - given that I live less than 60 miles from their business centre - they would surely have loads of people in my locality - thus no need for another demonstration property.
Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware - Activ8 Energies may have a top drawer product but the prices are considerably higher than other well established reputable companies.
The sales tactic of sign now or loose the opportunity of significant discount doesn't work for me. If they came back and undercut all competitors by 20% - would I go with them? Would you?
