Review Summary for DAYLIGHT ENERGY LIMITED

Based on the overwhelming sentiment in customer reviews, Daylight Energy Limited appears to have ceased trading under highly problematic circumstances, with customers rarely praising any aspect beyond an initial polite advisory visit, if they received one at all. The most common and severe problems reported involve the company taking significant deposits (often thousands of pounds) for solar panel and air source heat pump installations that were never carried out, often giving repeated excuses for delays, before ceasing communication and subsequently entering liquidation. A recurring weak spot highlighted is the apparent failure to properly protect customer deposits with schemes like HIES, or if protected, the 120-day claim window lapsed for many, rendering the protection ineffective. The company does not appear suited to any users or services currently, given its operational status and the widespread accusations of fraud and theft of deposits. Before considering any engagement with a company sharing this name or claiming association, a customer should clarify the absolute current operational status, any previous liquidation proceedings, and crucially, obtain unequivocal, written guarantees of deposit protection that are robust and not time-limited, ideally paying by credit card for Section 75 protection.

The Management Director . has being not very honest about it, still taking more and more orders.knowing his company is getting more and more into debt.

I am one of what would appear to be dozens of peopled who have been conned out of thousands of pounds. HIES is useless and guarantees nothing. It is possible to put a charge on this fraudsters home via a solicitor. If enough of us do this it would cause him problems.

Complete fraudster, gloating with taking customers money and spending it on a family holiday to Disneyland Florida. The funds that should have been hive insured weren't and instead pocketed right into David's hands. David has made no effort to make anything right and months down the line we have nothing to show for it apart from the snaps from David's family holiday when we cant even afford to take our family to our own caravan for a summer holiday this year. Check out the facebook group - daylight energy ltd ripped off customers - there's more information on where our money has gone and there's messages from those who know him personally so I'm sure they will answer any questions you may have! Fraud Investigation needs to step up a gear, his house, his multiple of cars and motorbike all no doubt paid for by customers deposit money. His still working in the Solar Industry, when he should be struck off and in prison, this man really has no shame and its our job to make sure he doesn't work in our area Poole/Bournemouth again. Imagine having him as a role model for your children. I can only imagine how proud his family are! absolute criminal

We had our air source heat pump system installed in 2019. All monies were paid, installation happened and that was fine. Over the period since the system has been installed we have had a couple of occasions to contact daylight energy and I would say that their after sales service is shocking. Fast forward to June 2023 and the system is not working at all and when we reach out to get it looked at by them we received no response, that was by email, telephone, and WhatsApp message. After doing a bit of research on companies house, I find that they are now in liquidation and I have no clue whether the system has any warranty or who to contact to find out.

I’m sorry to see any buisness struggle and fold. But this guy was at the top of his game when I worked for him. Articulate, polite and honest to a fault. We’re all to quick to judge and condemn, I hope the funds were hive insured, if not then j truly believe this fella will do his best to make it right.
