01622826800 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01622826800 👆 is reported as a nuisance and potentially fraudulent caller frequently contacting UK residents about solar panel inspections, particularly inverter efficiency checks claimed to be legally required every five years. The calls often come from purported companies like Efficient Homes or Clear Renewables, which appear to be dissolved or untraceable. Callers provide dubious information and refuse to send written verification, growing insistent if challenged. They sometimes pressure for appointments or sales under the guise of free inspections, often using personal or outdated homeowner details. Many recipients consider these calls scams, opting to block the number or report it to regulators. The consensus warns against engaging with these unsolicited calls, stressing caution and verification with legitimate, known installers before entertaining any inspection offers.
Reports on phone number 01622826800
3 yearsI got a call where they were going on about checking solar panels and saying they had to be inspected. Quite odd, but that was the gist of the chat.3 yearsI got a call from this number earlier. When I answered, I asked who was calling as part of my monitoring routine. They went on talking for a bit, but as soon as their voicemail started, they hung up. I've blocked the number now.3 yearsCheers for the earlier comments everyone. I did hear the caller out but decided against letting anyone come round for an inspection unless it’s from a company I actually know. Not keen on random cold calls turning up at my place. It sounded pretty convincing though, so I get why some folks end up booking these “inspections”.3 yearsGot a missed call from 01622826800 so I checked it out here. They called me again and this time I picked up. The person said a wrong name but mentioned my house name. They started rambling about DC current and solar panels. I told them it sounded like a scam and hung up. They called me right back after that but I just ignored it.DC4 yearsToday I got a call from Efficient Energy asking to check my solar panels. They assured me they’d provide a written report and wouldn’t try selling anything. I’ve arranged for them to come round next Tuesday, 29th November 2022. I’ll update here after they’ve been.Efficient Energy4 yearsI've had this same number ringing me non stop, like 25 times this month, even tho I've blocked them! They say they're from Efficient Homes, offering a free check-up on my solar panels. They claim it's urgent because the National Grid might stop my payments if I don't. Honestly felt like blackmail. Sounds pretty desperate for clients if you ask me. Not just annoying, they're a right pain in the butt.National Grid4 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, like once or twice daily. Don’t know who it is, so I just let it go to voicemail. No messages have been left either.4 yearsThis number has rang me a couple times over the past 48 hours. I didn't know who it was so I just let it go to voicemail. They didn't leave any message or anything.4 yearsGot a call from someone called Lewis claiming to be from Efficient Homes. He said my solar panels and inverter need a check, something that apparently should’ve been done five years ago. I stupidly booked an appointment for a bloke named Paul Clark to come round tomorrow at 3pm on the 8th of November for a “free inspection”. After looking up the number, I rang back and cancelled it. I’m an 82-year-old woman, not in the best health, live on my own and I’m quite vulnerable.LewisEfficient HomesPaul Clark4 yearsThey said they were sent by the government to inspect our solar panels, but when I probed for more info or specifics, they couldn’t deliver. Ended up hanging up on me. Very suspicious!4 yearsI got a ring earlier today from someone saying he was John, representing "Efficient Energy" on 01622826800. He wanted to chat about an "efficiency check" for my solar panels. Strangely, he already knew my last name and part of my address. Felt a bit dodgy to me. When I looked up Efficient Energy on Companies House, turns out they were struck off back in July 2015. No inspections are actually scheduled, and he definitely wasn’t from the company that set up my panels. Seems like a cheeky scam to me.JohnEfficient EnergyCompanies House4 yearsA bloke rang up polite enough and asked for me using my married name, said he was with Efficient Energy and wanted to book a service for our solar panels. I was suspicious though, as our panels are actually under my maiden name. I told him I had just chatted to our installer last week anyway. I'm not convinced these panels need checking unless they’re faulty or whatever. We get calls like this all the time, but normally the number’s hidden. No clue how to make them stop ringing.Efficient Energy4 yearsGot a call from a friendly bloke saying our solar panels needed inspecting, something he'd claimed the original fitters should have done, and apparently his firm was doing a free check. I informed him we’re registered with the telephone preference service and that the call was unwelcome. He then began to argue but couldn’t really justify why they’d give a free service like that - felt like a bit of a con to me.Telephone Preference Service4 yearsI wasn’t home so it went straight to voicemail. There was just nonstop music on the other end so I figured it was one of those scam calls. Looked up the number here and ended up blocking it.4 yearsI was out when they rang and it just went straight to voicemail with loads of music playing. Thought it might be some sort of call centre scam, so I looked up the number here and blocked it straight away.4 yearsGot a call about my solar panels needing an inspection. Told them I wasn’t interested and they just ended the call straight away.4 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise.4 yearsI said I wasn’t interested and hung up, but they called straight back so I just didn’t answer.4 yearsGot a call from some lot called 'Efficient Homes' trying to take advantage of all this fuss about energy bills going up. Proper nasty scam that is!4 yearsSome bloke was quite insistent, said he was from “Efficient Homes” or summat. Went on about inspecting my inverter, but when I cut in to find out what exactly he meant, he sounded a bit annoyed. I asked him who did my installation, and, surprise surprise, he didn’t have a clue. Ended the call right there.4 yearsA very courteous gentleman called me claiming my husband had reached out to him, which was totally false.4 yearsClaimed his name was John and insisted on using our first names. Rang us up two times in just one day!John5 yearsGot a call out of the blue telling me my solar inverter needs checking. Seemed like a sales pitch, so I just gave it a miss and blocked the number. Not interested!5 yearsA really calm bloke rang me up about my solar panels and said I should get the DC/AC inverter checked every five years. I told him right away that I never agree to any deals on the phone. He kept saying the check was free, and an engineer would come round to explain it all. Still, I said no and asked him to send me something in writing so I could verify the company and confirm with the installer I actually trust. Sounds like a classic ploy where the "engineer" would find some problem and push for a pricey part replacement. Maybe I’m just being suspicious though!5 yearsGot two calls from 01622826800, and they were really pushy and quite rude. They kept demanding to talk to my husband about some 'assessment for inverter' but wouldn’t say what it actually involved. Sounds like a scam to me, especially since we get loads of similar calls claiming our initial installer has disappeared or closed down. From now on, I’m just going to block any calls from 01622.5 yearsI received a call from a 'John' via this number, as per Call Guardian's notification. However, without any company information provided, I decided to decline the call.JohnCall Guardian5 yearsThey didn’t bother to leave any voicemail after ringing.5 yearsThey called but didn’t leave any voicemail.5 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was from an energy firm and said our solar panel inverter needed a check-up every five years. When I started asking more about it, he suddenly got a bit sharp and ended up hanging up on me pretty quickly.5 yearsI keep getting calls from a firm that goes by Efficient Homes or something close to that. Looks like they pulled my info from a solar panel installers list or summat. Even when I ask them to take me off their calling list, they just won’t stop. Hang up on them and they’re straight back on the phone again. Bit pushy if you ask me.Efficient Homes5 yearsReally smooth talker, this bloke claimed I had "enrolled" for some kind of photopanel voltage test. Complete nonsense, obviously. He clearly didn’t understand what he was on about and just rattled off a load of rubbish. I’m sure he’ll trick plenty of others who aren’t so cautious, and they’ll probably end up losing a lot of money. Watch out for this number, it’s proper dodgy.5 yearsSomeone called and wanted to talk to the old owner of my house, but I've lived here for 11 years now!5 yearsSo some bloke called, saying I had to get a DC test on my solar inverter every five years ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Yeah, right, like that’s true 😬DC5 yearsGot a call from 01622-826802, they were pretending to do an energy survey but felt like a total scam. Watch out for these dodgy callers!5 yearsGot a call from a bloke looking for someone who's not lived here for ages. When I told him that, he said he'd try emailing him or something! Nah, sounds dodgy to me. Probably a scam.6 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise, so I just decided not to pick up.6 yearsGot a call from some bloke asking me loads of personal stuff to prove my identity. Just hung up on him and blocked the number straight away.6 yearsThey've called me a few times now, really pushing that I should get my solar panels checked. Won't send any details through email or post though. Feels like a total scam to me.6 yearsThey kept ringing my landline over and over. I even blocked the number on my mobile but didn’t pick up at all.6 yearsGot a call looking for a person who hasn’t lived at this address for like five years. They must’ve got the wrong number or something because the homeowner’s changed ages ago!6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming my solar panels needed a service, sounded fishy to me. Definitely seemed like a scam trying to get in on the solar business. Be careful with these calls!6 yearsNow they’ve switched from energy to phone plans, claiming BT hiked their prices recently and they can offer a better deal for sole traders. The bloke even used my old business name, but I told him I retired like five years ago. Does anyone know how to get rid of outdated internet info like this?BT6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from a telecom firm called Think It Simple, claiming they had some kind of deal with Open Reach. Thing is, I’m not even a customer with them and I’m on the TPS register, so I shouldn't be getting these calls. Of course, they just ignored that completely and were quite blunt about it. What really annoyed me was how they used my first name - bit inappropriate when a stranger is ringing, especially for us older folks.Think It SimpleOpen ReachTelephone Preference Service6 yearsLoads of spam marketing firms are using this number. I noticed a few comments mentioning solar stuff. The call I got was from someone claiming to work for Make it Simple, and it was your usual telecom sales pitch. They try to make it sound like BT’s calling when you pick up, but it’s definitely not. These sorts of companies really ought to be stopped.SolarMake it Simple7 yearsGot a couple of calls from this number today. Both times I couldn’t pick up and it went to voicemail, but when I asked them to leave a message, they just hung up straight away. Feels like one of those annoying cold calls to me.7 yearsGot loads of calls from Efficient Homes, kept pestering me for someone who doesn’t even live here. I mentioned we’re on the TPS list, and next thing I know, they just hang up on me. Quite rude, really.TPSTelephone Preference Service7 yearsI picked up the call but had call protection enabled. The person on the other end didn’t clearly identify themselves, so I decided to end the conversation.7 yearsSome guy rang me saying he was from "Efficient Homes" and that my solar panels needed a 5 year inspection. I’d heard from a mate that it’s just a sales trick, so I just hung up. Honestly, I’d tell others not to fall for it either.Efficient Homes7 yearsGot a call from someone called 'Sean' about a free 5-year inspection for my solar panels. He claimed the original installers had shut down. Honestly, any random call offering free services is usually just a trick to get your money later on. Watch out for these solar panel scams!Sean7 yearsI'm not sure who this is from, 01622826800, but I don't recognise the number. Please stop calling. Cheers.7 yearsI don’t know who the 0166826800 belongs to. Cheers.7 yearsHad a couple of calls from someone claiming to be from 'Clear Renewables' wanting to do a solar PV check. The person was quite polite and sounded legit, but since I'd never heard of them before, I rang up my actual PV provider who confirmed it was a scam. After that, I just went ahead and blocked the number.Clear Renewables7 yearsToday at about 12.40pm, someone named Connor from Clear Renewables rang me up about a Solar PV Assessment. I told him nicely I wasn’t interested and asked him not to bother me, then he just ended the call. My neighbours have mentioned that these ‘assessments’ usually turn into pushy sales pitches for solar stuff. Be careful and steer clear!ConnorClear Renewables7 yearsSomeone pretending to be from Clear Renewables called and was asking about our solar panels. They kept insisting to speak to my husband, but when I told them he wasn’t around, they just ended the call abruptly 😡Clear Renewables7 yearsGot a call from someone who said he was Chris from Clear Renewables about a "solar PV efficiency check". When I asked him to repeat the company name, he just disconnected the call. Weird behaviour!ChrisClear Renewables7 yearsThis bloke said he was from some place called 'Clear Renewables' about some check-up I supposedly bought. He kept saying he wasn’t trying to sell anything though. When I told him I wasn’t up for a chat, he went on asking why not! I told him off for being nosy about my own stuff, said 'cheers' and shut the call down.Clear Renewables7 yearsGot another ring from this number again, and they were asking for a last name that wasn’t mine or the missus’. Figure they’ve got the wrong person.7 yearsSo, today at 1613 (01/05/19), I got a call from a bloke claiming to be from Clear Renewables about some kind of assessment. He insisted he wasn’t trying to sell me anything as I supposedly already paid for solar panels. Thing is, I don’t own any solar panels at all! Told him this and he seemed proper taken aback. What a load of nonsense.Clear Renewables7 yearsThis call came up as someone saying they were with Clear Renewables saying my system needed an efficiency review. They said since I'd paid already I had no reason to refuse the check. Sounded like they were just reading a script, cos when I cut them off they just kept repeating the same thing. I ended the call but they kept phoning back loads, so I just ignored and eventually blocked the number.Clear Renewables7 yearsHere we go again, yet another unsolicited call about 'green energy' solutions!7 yearsSome bloke from a renewable energy firm rang but I didn’t quite catch who he was with. I get proper annoyed with all these companies pushing renewable grant schemes trying to sell me stuff! I asked him straight up if it was just marketing, but he denied it. I told him we only work with the firm that actually installed our setup. Then he said that lot weren’t trading anymore, but I told him I’d spoken to them quite recently. He went on to say "you chose a third party then!" and before I could reply, he just hung up on me!7 yearsI just ended the call as soon as it went to voicemail.7 yearsGot a call about a solar system efficiency check, which I've already paid for! Turned out to be a sales pitch even though I'm on the TPS list. Blocked them straight away.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsGot a call from Clean Renewables about checking my inverter. They mentioned that the company who put in my solar panels might have folded. They kept insisting it wasn’t a sales pitch. Also, they claimed I had filled in some sort of form with them ages ago - which I honestly can’t recall at all. Bit fishy if you ask me.Clean Renewables7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Clean Renewables, needing to do a check on our solar panels that was apparently overdue. He kept insisting he wasn’t like all the other annoying calls we get about this stuff. When I mentioned the TPS, he said it didn’t apply to him. Ended up hanging up on him once I told him our panels have a 10 year warranty.Clean RenewablesTelephone Preference Service7 yearsThis number kept ringing but the moment my voicemail started, they just disconnected. Definitely felt like some sort of bother.7 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, but my call blocker stepped in and shut it down. It said no voicemail or anything was left. Seems like it's coming from some dodgy source, probably just one of those annoying pest calls.7 yearsGot a call like this saying my solar firm was shut down, but I checked with them and they’re still open. They reckoned the TPS rules don’t cover them since they weren’t actually trying to sell me anything.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsGot a call from this number, some persistent bloke saying he was from Clear Renewable, wanting to do a five-year efficiency inspection or something. When I said no thanks, he got pretty annoyed. Then about an hour later, a pizza guy turned up with pizzas I hadn’t asked for, under a name I only use for official stuff. Pretty obvious the salesman was having a tantrum. Oh, and I definitely didn’t pay for those pizzas!Clear Renewable7 yearsGot a call about my solar panel system, saying the inverter might need a look-over and that it was time for an efficiency test. Pretty much the exact same story as before.7 yearsSean calling me up again. Seems like they’re doing some kind of efficiency test on our inverter. Gave me the cold shoulder.Sean7 yearsNo message was left on my answering machine. I think this might be one of those scams I've come across before.7 yearsSean keeps ringing me with that same old spiel. I told him months back to take me off his list, but he clearly ignored that. I've had enough and just put in a complaint with the TPS now.SeanTelephone Preference Service7 yearsI tried to ring back but no one picked up.7 yearsGot a call from someone named Sean claiming to be with Clear Renewables. Total scam. He said my solar panels needed an assessment and that the original installers had gone out of business. Didn’t even say who they supposedly were. That’s rubbish though, the company is still operating fine. The number was on the TPS register too. Under the MCS rules needed for claiming any incentives, firms have to follow a strict marketing code that bans cold calling anyone on the TPS list. These guys ignored that completely. Blocked them straight away.SeanClear RenewablesTelephone Preference ServiceTPS7 yearsIn just a couple of days, this number has rung me like 9 times! I always let it go to voicemail since I wasn’t expecting anyone, but they never bothered to leave a message. Fed up with it, I’ve decided to block the number altogether.7 yearsI've been getting calls from Sean about some "free" maintenance for my solar panels. They've rung me a few times now, but I reckon they haven’t quite taken the hint yet.Sean7 yearsGot a random call about solar panels saying I'd already paid for a system inspection or something. Pretty sure it was a scam, so I just blocked the number straight away.8 yearsGot a call out of the blue, some bloke trying to sell me a checkup on how well my solar panels are working. Really not interested and found it quite irritating.8 yearsGot a call from someone in a call centre the other day, they were asking if I wanted a free check-up on my solar panel setup. Bit annoying since I'm already on the TPS.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsI got a call from someone saying my solar panel inverter needed an urgent inspection. I blocked the number straight away.8 yearsThey told me my PV system required an inspection every five years or so.8 yearsGot a call from some person, didn’t even say who they were, asking about checking our solar setup. They went on about some sort of ‘five year inspection’ like it was so important. I just told them to leave us alone. Honestly, we get loads of these kinds of calls all the time.8 yearsThey rang me a couple of times today but I ignored it both times, so I just went ahead and blocked the number now.8 yearsGot a call claiming I was behind on some kind of "efficiency test" for the MCS. I told them to stop talking nonsense since I actually work in solar panels, and they just ended the call straight away. Don't fall for it. They're trying to trick people with PV systems who don’t really know the rules.MCS8 yearsNo voicemail received. Decided to block the number after reading other users’ experiences.8 yearsGot loads of calls today from some silly bloke who clearly ignored the whole Telephone Preference Service thing. Had to block the number in the end.8 yearsGot another call on this number earlier today. The bloke calling said his name was James and insisted he wasn’t from a sales firm, but a service firm instead. He seemed really cocky and acted like he was above breaking any rules. I just ended the call straight away.James8 yearsthe number was unknown, had call protect active, no voicemail either. I was busy at the time.8 yearsI missed a call earlier and they didn't leave any message. So I tried 1471 to get the number, but when I called it back, BT played a recorded message saying the number wasn't valid or recognised. Bit frustrating really.BT8 yearsHad this annoying spam call the other day about solar panels or something. They kept going on about how I could save loads on my electric bill. Honestly, it felt like one of those pushy sales calls, but not really interested in any of it. Hate getting these random calls!8 yearsGot a call from Clear Renewable Ltd about solar panels the other day! Seems like they’re really pushing their services.
