A supposed call from Prime Homes about a health‑and‑safety certificate and insurance for solar panels felt like a scam; I traced the number to the Telephone Protection Service (TPS).
Beware of a solar‑panel fraud – a lady claiming to be from Prime Homes offered an 'annual safety check', then hung up when asked for the last service date. Their details are publicly listed via the MSC scheme, but the check isn’t mandatory; they’ll likely claim voltage issues or inverter failures to sell you stuff. Research reputable companies with proper credentials. I’m uneasy about the 'green' reviews – are they genuine or victims?
The caller was extremely rude about my panels; it felt like a clear scam.
Panel fraud alert.
A representative from the firm called to arrange a free panel inspection, then gave me advice after finding my voltages unusually high despite the panels’ purpose. From the initial call to the appointment, their professionalism impressed me. Thanks for the reliable help – trustworthy companies are scarce these days.
A pleasant young technician visited to assess my under‑performing system, provided a solid quote to restore peak output, and offered the best price I’ve seen. I’ll proceed with this knowledgeable, helpful company.
Even though I expected a nuisance call, I answered; the person somehow knew my unusual surname and said it correctly. When I asked who was calling, the line cut out – just another waste of time, and I should've ignored it.
Recently a solar firm finished work at our house and proved both safe and dependable. The first call gathered my details, and they were on site the next day. Throughout the project, communication stayed spot‑on, keeping us updated. The finishing touches impressed us, and the price was very reasonable. After a long search, my husband and I finally found a company that respected our standards and became our favourite choice. All in all, a perfect 10/10 experience; we’ll call them again and have already recommended them to friends and family with solar.
A call arrived from this number without leaving a message; glad I checked it on this site.
A man contacted me, allegedly from Homes Health & safety, to inform me that my solar panels were due to expire and offered to send someone to check them, but after agreeing to the visit, I received a second call from a woman who claimed not to be associated with the original caller, raising my suspicions of another scam.
This is the third call I've received, supposedly from James at ? Homes, attempting to schedule an appointment, which I believe to be a cold call despite being on the TPS; I suspect this is due to publicly accessible records related to Govt FIT payments.
Had a call from an unidentified company about the Health and Safety Certificate for my solar panels, claiming it was about to expire and offering a free survey. I expressed concern about the short lifespan and mentioned contacting my local installer. The caller hung up.
Second call from scammers promoting solar products, clearly disregarding my previous decline
Deceptive solar salespeople
This is obvioulsy a scam
It's essential that these harassing calls are stopped, especially since my recently widowed mother has been targeted; if Talk Talk operates this line, they should take action to cease it.
This appears to be a solar panel scam. The caller claimed they needed to issue a health and safety certificate because my original installer had gone out of business. However, my panels were installed by British Gas, who maintain them along with the inverter and consumer unit that provides information to British Gas for tariff calculations. When I asked how they got my details, the caller mentioned 'REGO,' a non-existent government agency. When I asked for the company name, they told me to #### off and hung up.
Upon being asked to confirm my identity as Mr X, the caller launched into a discussion about a health and safety certificate for my solar panels, which immediately raised suspicions as it seemed more like a scam than a legitimate inquiry.
A solar panel health and safety check was the supposed reason for the call, but the pushy and argumentative tone was a clear indication of a scam. I made it clear I wasn't interested.
On Friday, this number called at 10:30 am, but no message was left; I believe it's a scam related to energy, possibly targeting various parties, and I've since blocked the number.
This number is a home energy scam, beware
Extremely risky. Protect your bank accounts.
This was a scam call.
A man with a Romford accent cold-called about my solar panel 'health and safety certificate' needing renewal and offered a free inspection next week. They claimed to have the MCS database, knowing which houses have panels and some details. Rule 1: never act on cold calls. Rule 2: renewal isn’t needed. Rule 3: verify their company details on Companies House—check their address and certification with MCS. If certified, they may still be fraudulent, possibly claiming your inverter or cabling needs upgrading. If concerned, contact your installer directly.
This number is linked to a solar panel scam, where they claim to be conducting a health and safety check; they even denied calling the previous day when I answered again
As previously mentioned, the caller discussed a health check for my solar panels. When I told them I don’t respond to cold calls, they ended the call immediately.
This is a scam call, plain and simple.
This call is likely a solar panel scam, given the context.
Be aware that this caller can sound very convincing, but it's likely a scam
