Antwoord van Switch Together
Dear Mr James,
Thank you for your feedback. Our apologies if the process of the scheme was not straightforward.
For your information, Switch Together is a unique group buying scheme for solar PV systems and battery storage. The group buying scheme consists of five subsequent phases:
1. Register for free and without obligation
When you register online for solar panels, you will be asked questions about your house, roof, and your electricity usage. If you are registering for battery storage only, you will be asked about your current solar PV system and electricity usage.
If you don’t know the exact figures for your roof size or electricity usage, we can help you estimate with industry or local averages, and you can enter more accurate information when you have it.
Kindly note that if there is no active scheme in your area, it is still possible to pre-register, but you would not proceed to the subsequent parts of the process. Perhaps when you registered with us, there was no active scheme in your area, and therefore you did not hear more from us?
2. Auction
During an active scheme, we would organise an auction. This is a reverse auction, meaning the lowest bid wins. The winning bid sets the price for all solar PV systems and battery systems. All installers are pre-vetted and must comply with criteria to guarantee the quality of the offer.
3. Personal recommendation
After the auction, you will receive a personal recommendation which will include information about the winning installer and your complete package, costs and savings. This information is for you to consider. If you have more questions, you can always contact our helpdesk.
4. You decide
After you have received your personal recommendation, you can decide whether you want to accept it or not. We will send each customer a link to an online webinar where they will be introduced to their prospective installer.
During the webinar, we will also talk you through how the Switch Together scheme works in more detail. To accept the personal recommendation, you will be asked to pay a deposit of £150. This deposit is conditionally refundable. The terms can be found in your personal recommendation.
5. Installation
After receiving your deposit payment, your details will be transferred to the installer. If you have chosen to install a solar PV system, the installer will schedule a survey with you.
For a battery storage installation, usually a remote survey is enough to plan the installation. The installer will also schedule an installation date with you. Once the installation is complete, you will then receive the invoice, minus the deposit. This final invoice has to be paid in full after the installation.
If you wish to know more, please feel free to check our website (https://switchtogether.co.uk) or contact us directly.
We're available to assist you with possible queries at support@switchtogether.co.uk or 0800 014 8851 (Mon – Fri: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm).
Kind regards,
Switch Together
Spam upon Spam
I received an email from Switch Together to say that they had "Got My Question" which was a surprise because I had not asked them a question, in other words it was just another marketing email that tries to hook you in my pretending that you initiated the exchange. So I just clicked on the unsubscribe link and hoped that this company wouldn't darken my inbox again. I then got an email from them to apologise for the marketing email and to assure me that I would be off their mailing list with 48 hours - yet more detritus in the inbox but OK I thought.
Then I get yet another email from the blighters asking me to rate their support experience !!!
When will companies understand that when we 'unsubscribe' we just want them to GO AWAY!

Hello there,

No reason to have a heat pump
Very good service and survey of our home for the possible installation of a heat pump.
However (not the fault of 'Switch Together'), despite the Government giving back £7,500 of my and your taxes as a 'grant' for this supposedly 'cheaper and more efficient' means of heating, the installation would have cost us an extra £3,800, and our annual heating bill would (from their projections) have increased by a very, very significant amount.
So, there was absolutely no point in have a heat pump fitted!
26 maart 2025
Antwoord van Switch Together
Hi Allen,
Thank you for your honest review. We completely understand your concerns regarding the overall cost and projected running expenses of a heat pump installation. While the government grant can help offset some of the upfront costs, the suitability and financial viability of heat pumps can vary depending on individual circumstances, such as property type, insulation, and energy usage.
Your experience highlights an important point: heat pumps are not always the most cost-effective solution for every home, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain this for others considering the option.
I have sent your feedback to our team to further investigate. This means that it will be reviewed by the appropriate team so that our scheme processes can be improved for future reference. Please note that this feedback is not responded to but rather used for enhancing our scheme from a customer perspective.
Kind Regards,
Switch Together

As part of the government boiler…
As part of the government boiler upgrade initiative we had Switch Together quote & subsequently carry out the surveys and installation of our air source heat pump system, it all went smoothly withour=t any problems. Luke & Will (mainly Luke) installed the system which entailed an air source heat pump, plus a hot water cylinder & immersion heater, they also changed 3 of our radiators as they weren't large enough. The fitting of the hot water cylinder was very tricky as it only just fitted in our airing cupboard (I really don't know how they managed to get it in) but they made an excellent job of it, the masses of pipework necessary for the job was extremely neat, so much so it was a shame to have to have it lagged! Luke was a fount of knowledge and expertise about his job and could answer any questions we had. Once the app was downloaded to my phone he went over the details and made it easy to follow. We already had solar panels but would thoroughly recommend Switch Together and in particular Luke to install such a system system.

The scheme is good value but the communication is poor. I signed up for a quote in September, I'm given a message saying they will be selecting a supplier in the next couple of weeks. I check back after two weeks, still no update. Eventually, I received a quote in late November, as I didn't know that it was coming I nearly missed it and the deadline for accepting.
After paying the deposit, nobody has reached out to arrange a date for a site inspection.

Process should show the address of the property
The software and online process is problematic if you are dealing with more than one property, as it does not automatically show the address of the property you are accepting a quote or when paying the initial fee. When you get further into the process you also realise the quote is simply a ‘from’ price and could be far higher … almost bait and switch. Currently sceptical, I will find out how far the initial quote varies from the actual quote after the property has been inspected.
