Creating happy customers with fewer complaints is about getting the heat network running well, getting the finances right and communicating well with customers.
For most customers the first time they have ever heard of a heat network is the day they move in to their home.
And this creates real challenges in communicating with customers to make sure that they are happy with their home, their heating and their hot water.
