Services
Solar PV Systems
We design and install solar PV systems with battery storage to reduce energy bills and carbon footprints. Our systems generate renewable electricity year-round, even in overcast conditions, and allow excess energy to be sold back to the grid. Tailored to your home's needs, our MCS-certified installations ensure long-term reliability and efficiency.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps provide low-carbon heating by extracting warmth from the atmosphere. Ideal for well-insulated homes, they integrate with radiators or underfloor heating and can be paired with solar panels for enhanced efficiency. Our installations include hybrid systems for older properties requiring supplementary heating.
Boiler Servicing
Annual boiler servicing ensures optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Our Gas Safe engineers inspect components, identify potential issues, and maintain compliance with safety standards. Regular servicing prevents carbon monoxide leaks and maintains manufacturer warranties.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating delivers even warmth distribution and frees up wall space. We install electric systems for small areas and water-based systems connected to boilers. Our solutions suit new builds and renovations, enhancing comfort while improving energy efficiency.
Heating Controls
Modern heating controls, including smart thermostats, optimise energy use and provide remote temperature management. Our installations feature learning algorithms and geofencing technology to adjust heating based on occupancy patterns, reducing costs without compromising comfort.
