Angel Tan, Chirpy Heat

Listening to our clients and ensuring their voice is at the heart of our decision-making is particularly important to us.

At the end of 2024, as part of our plan to guide us on our journey towards greater client engagement, we distributed a client survey to gather and report on client satisfaction.

Of those that responded to our survey, 100% of them stated that they would recommend us to other housing providers. Below are some of the highlights:

Client Satisfaction

We asked our clients to rate our service out of 10 and provide feedback on areas for improvement. We are delighted to report overwhelmingly positive responses, with the majority scoring us an average of 9 or above against key areas:

• Service delivery: 9.25
• Quality of communication: 9.19
• Heat network expertise: 9.75
• Speed of service: 9.19
• Effectiveness in solving client issues: 9.38
• Value for money: 8.56

Clients particularly appreciate our in-depth knowledge of heat networks and the housing sector, our proactive approach in keeping them informed, and our guidance on upcoming legislation.
