Services
Solar PV Systems
We design and install solar PV systems with battery storage to reduce energy bills and carbon footprints. Our MCS-certified installations are tailored to property size and power needs, using trusted roof mounting suppliers. Systems integrate with smart apps for control and can be expanded as homes grow, offering long-term energy independence.
Air Source Heat Pumps
We supply and install air source heat pumps for low-carbon heating in well-insulated homes. Systems operate efficiently at low temperatures, compatible with underfloor heating or radiators. Hybrid options combine heat pumps with boilers for older properties, ensuring year-round comfort while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Boiler Installations
We install high-efficiency condensing boilers with up to 10-year warranties, saving hundreds annually on fuel bills. Options include combi, system, and regular boilers, paired with smart controls for optimal efficiency. Our process includes a no-obligation assessment and seamless installation for immediate savings.
Boiler Servicing
Annual boiler servicing ensures safety, efficiency, and longevity. Conducted by Gas Safe engineers, our checks prevent carbon monoxide leaks and costly repairs. We no longer service non-condensing boilers, focusing on modern systems to maintain compliance and performance standards.
Underfloor Heating
We install electric and water-based underfloor heating systems for even warmth distribution. Electric systems use mats or wires, while water systems connect to boilers. Ideal for new builds or renovations, our solutions free wall space and integrate with renewable energy sources for enhanced efficiency.
