Very professional

Came to repair my Ohme charger, very quick to come out once reported to Ohme. The man was very professional and knew what the problem was and resolved it quickly. Very satisfied with whole process.

Terrible service

I don’t know why Ohme use these! Absolute joke the way our install was left! I wish I could upload pictures! Cable left exposed and on show and to make it worse we had to pay extra money for the installation!
Complaint raised avoid at all costs!

Good Afternoon Mr Bloomer
I trust your keeping well.
Unfortunately we have been unable to locate your records on our system to investigate this, was the booking made under an alternative name? We also don’t have a complaint logged on our system under your name, was this also logged in an alternative name?
I would appreciate if you could allow me a chance to look into this matter and investigate this promptly. Please ensure your complaint is sent to Electrical@crystalelectronics.co.uk and I will action this accordingly.

Warmest Regards

Three No-Shows: The Saga Continues

**EDIT**
A team were sent from the Midlands (2-3 hours away) the day after this review was posted and, to give them credit, were excellent. They were professional, left my home and garden immaculate and explained the setup clearly.

**ORIGINAL**
Booked an installation with Crystal? Don't bank on it!

I am awaiting the highly anticipated arrival of an engineer tomorrow, after three already failed attempts to fulfil our agreed appointments.

Interesting to read reviews from other 'customers' with the same experiences as me - professional standards evidently don't matter here.

I have been expecting the elusive engineer on 25th July, 6th August, 7th August and Crystal are now 'hopeful' they will materialise on 8th August - I'm not getting my hopes up.

My choice is limited with purchasing through Ohme, but if you have the option to AVOID this farcical carry on, I strongly recommend you do.

Excellent installation.

We had an excellent installation of our Ohme Home Pro made today by Craig from Ipswich. Punctual, talked to us about the installation, did a neat job then showed us how to use the app before he left. All done in just over 2 hours.
A fine ambassador for the industry.

Fast, friendly and professional

Crystal installed our Ohme home EV charger in under 1 week from date of purchase. The installer was prompt, friendly and professional with the whole install taking about 2 hours as it was a straightforward setup.

The installer walked us through the setup and functions of the wallbox and app. EVs can be complicated to learn all the details and it was great to have someone who knows explain it in practical terms.

Had an electric charger fitted and the installer was very pleasant. We decided there was a better way to get from the fuse box to outside and he did that for us so the wiring was well hidden. Missing a fuse and went out and got one straight away. Would recommend this company to do your instal- very good and professional and left the areas he worked in nice and clean.

Great customer service


Referred by Motability/Ohme, I had AJ Theron visit my property yesterday and I was thrilled with his customer service. He was very accommodating, answered all questions and did an amazing job with the installation.

One of my concerns was the wiring and not wanting it on the face of the property where it can be seen. AJ did a great job keeping it hidden as per my requirements and his professionalism was outstanding. He was clear with what he was going to do and checked with me what he was going to do and when he was going to do it.
I was very happy with his attention to detail and he completed a thorough job.

Highly recommended!

Professional and hassle-free

Very quick and professional.
Ordered a couple of chargers for my property and from start to finish it was great and super easy, totally hassle-free. All I did was call up and everything was smoothly handled by Crystal.
Will definitely use again!

Sent a clueless fitter to install incorrect supplied data cable

Ohme charger fitted but fitter failed to update Ohme of this resulting in 2 months of very slow charging also needed to recall as needed a now agreed with Ohme data cable added to the system.

Wrong grey internal grade wire was sent prior to install.
Fitter arrives asks me? what needs doing once briefed he says he has never fitted a data cable. He asked where does it go from and to where.

Rang crystal who tried to convince me the fitter was indeed qualified having non of it a showed him the door
Family safety first imo
AVOID AVOID is my personal advice
update edit Ohme sent another company to complete the data cable installation.
Only to discover no gland used on base entry main feed and also a hole left in the back of chargers back plate as blank been removed and not replaced
Ohme head office and motorbility CEO are looking into these failures documented and photographed. Dire rubbish AVOID

Absolute nightmare of a company.

Absolute nightmare of a company.
I am a simple swap over from an Easee charger to Ohme. I rung the company to book in and was given 2/11/2023. Informed the staff I don’t like people in the house and dusty environments. Was told they will suit up and wear foot protection. Even though I am reluctant to the swap over I agreed. I sheeted the downstairs out to help with the dust anxiety. Received a phone call at dinner time on the day asking if they could swap to 3/11/2023. I said no as I was out. No worries we will get there. Received another phone call in the afternoon stating they couldn’t get there. I told them not to bother and I’ll just send the unit back. I was short with the customer service advisor and rang back up to apologise. Spoke to Kym Boyle who said it’s important to have it swapped over and I was offered 4/11/23 as a priority, and that she would oversee my fitting. I said I would check the date when I got home.
It was my mother’s memorial birthday but I sent an email to agree to the date. 4/11/2023 sheeted up again in preparation. Saturday dinner time came, no one had arrived so I rang the company. Yes you are down for a fitting we will be there by the end of the day. Needless to say no one came.
Rang Ohme 6/11/23 who had rung Crystal Electronics prior to my call and was told that Crystal Electronics would be in touch by the end of the day. Nothing once again.
Rang Ohme one more time who got in touch with Crystal Electronics and said they would contact me the day after. Once again no contact.
I have to say that this is the worst company for customer service and upon reading previous reviews, I am not the only one. So the award for the most useless EV charger fitting company goes to Crystal Electronics. Unfortunately they never turned up to collect their trophy so I still have it at home!
I need to add after I waisted 2 days of my life waiting around for this company I was offered a £25 voucher, but of course I never received it.

Dear Mr Stewart
Thank you for your review.

Following receiving your review I have investigated this internally with our team. Unfortunately there seems to be some discrepancies within your review which do not correlate to the notes on our system. I can see that on 01/12/2023 our engineer attended and completed the swap out, which is evidenced within the before and after pictures and installation certificate. Since the installation has been completed, we have not previously had any further correspondence from yourself that you were unhappy or dissatisfied with the service provided, and I would be more than happy to investigate this and review the information you have provided. If you could contact Stacey Howell on 01933 226410 I would be more than happy to look into this further for you.

They never turned up!AVOID Them.

I have booked the appointment for my EV charger change.In 3 weeks in advance and they didn't turned up for the appointment as the engineer was sick…
I did taken a holiday day to stay at home and they called me 8:10 in the morning to tell me they not going to install the new charger…
Extremely poor customer service.
PLEASE DONT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY JOB because you might have to wait for them ages.
The development director does not have a clue of customer service or how to satisfy their customers when they were wrong!
No compensation offered.
Please use another company instead of them as they don't care about their customers!
Very poor communication and service.You cannot trust them!

Live-d up to expectations.

Motability advised me of the need to change my nearly one year old EV Easee 7kw outlet fitment, for a Ohme unit.
Everything was taken care of for me, and inside of 2 weeks the new wall box is up and running.
Chrystal Engineering were very efficient and Jack, the fitter, was very professional.
