Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps extract warmth from ambient air to provide heating and hot water. Our installations use UK-climate-optimised units to ensure efficiency even in cold conditions. Systems include defrost mechanisms and smart controls for year-round reliability. Ideal for properties without space for ground arrays.
Solar Panel Installation
We install photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into electricity, reducing energy bills and grid dependency. Our designs incorporate battery storage and EV charging integration. Projects range from residential rooftops to large commercial arrays, with DNO registration and manufacturer warranties included.
Biomass Systems
Biomass boilers burn organic matter like wood pellets to generate heat. We supply automated systems for minimal maintenance, suitable for domestic and commercial properties. Installations include plant room design, fuel storage solutions, and compliance with RHI maintenance standards.
Commercial Renewables
We deliver renewable systems for industrial estates, swimming pools, and council buildings. Services include heat loss assessments, plantroom installations, and shared ground loop schemes. Projects integrate with existing infrastructure while meeting commercial efficiency and compliance requirements.
Renewable Maintenance
Our maintenance contracts ensure optimal performance of heat pumps, solar arrays, and biomass systems. Services include annual inspections, refrigerant checks, and emergency repairs. Engineers are F-Gas and MCS certified, with priority response for contract holders.

Jason, Jonny, and their team proved to be delightful individuals to work with. Not only were their prices competitive, but their eagerness to satisfy was evident throughout the project. The GSHP (ecoforest) they installed has consistently provided warmth and hot water for over 2 years. We wholeheartedly endorse them for any energy-related endeavor you may have.

Excellent, professional and knowledgeable service may be anticipated from Baystar, in a renewables world that as developers, still feels like the wild west! We feel that both your personal service and that of the broader team towards us earlier this year, respecting and aiding our former client, has been exemplary. Experienced servicing followed, simply streets ahead of others with whom our business has worked, as early adopters, since 2009.

Report
Baystar were exceptionally efficient in resolving two problems with my heat engine in very cold weather in February 2023, and persevered with their visits, until there was a satisfactory result. Another supplier had simply been sitting on their hands for several weeks and I was very grateful indeed to have my heat restored! Highly recommended. Highly Recommended for technichal and service skils

Report
Glossy website, with engaging testimonials encouraged me to enquire with Baystar about an open water source heat pump system for a barn I am converting for myself. From the initial lukewarm response, haphazard communication, regular changes of contact personnel due to staff turnover, to a final e-mail explaining that the company was "concentrating on our larger commercial jobs", Baystar have fabulously underperformed. Need I say more ?
