Services
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps provide low-carbon heating by extracting ambient heat from the air. Our MCS-certified installers deliver efficient systems with potential 70% carbon savings over gas boilers. Government Boiler Upgrade Scheme grants reduce installation costs by 7,500. Systems last 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
Gas & Oil Heating
Gas and oil heating solutions include boiler installations, repairs and maintenance. Our Gas Safe and OFTEC-registered engineers ensure safe, efficient operation. We offer landlord safety checks and extended warranties through manufacturer partnerships with Vaillant and Grant.
Underfloor Heating
Water-based underfloor heating systems distribute even warmth through floor surfaces. Our specialists install systems that improve energy efficiency while eliminating radiators. The solution requires professional installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Solar Photovoltaics (PV)
Solar PV systems convert sunlight into electricity, reducing energy bills and grid dependency. Our MCS-certified team designs installations that maximise energy production. Excess electricity can be stored in batteries or sold back to the grid for additional savings.
Battery Storage
Battery storage solutions capture surplus solar energy for nighttime use. This reduces reliance on grid electricity and fossil fuels. Our installations integrate seamlessly with existing solar PV systems to maximise energy self-sufficiency.
