Our Services
Heating
As energy prices surge, efficient heating becomes paramount for homeowners. Optimal heating systems can drastically reduce energy consumption, directly translating to lower bills. This commitment to efficiency also positively influences a property’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating. Ensuring your home has a proficient heating system is not just about comfort; it’s an investment in long-term savings and enhanced property value.
Insulation
In times of rising energy costs, insulation is a homeowner’s best ally. Efficient insulation ensures optimal heat retention, echoing the UK Governments principle of “heat retention before heat generation.” This not only substantially reduces bills but also enhances energy efficiency, elevating your home’s EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating, resulting in an increase in property value. Well insulated homes also offer acoustic benefits. Making the choice to insulate is both economically and environmentally astute.
Commercial Customers
For our commercial customers, harnessing renewable energy is more than an environmental statement; it’s a sound business decision. Solar panels, complemented by efficient battery storage, drastically cut energy costs by reducing reliance on traditional power sources. Transitioning to solar not only aligns with sustainability goals but also yields tangible financial benefits. An investment in renewable energy, like solar, offers a competitive edge, enhances operational efficiency, and reflects a forward-thinking approach to resource management.
Frequently asked questions

- The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a UK government initiative designed to support households in reducing their energy consumption and costs. It achieves this by making energy companies responsible for funding energy efficiency improvements for eligible homes. The primary objective is to assist vulnerable and low-income households in improving energy efficiency, thereby reducing energy bills and cutting carbon emissions.
- The scheme started in 2013 and will end in 2026.
- While the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme is designed to support eligible households with energy efficiency improvements, it’s important to understand the potential costs involved.
- Even if you qualify for the ECO, there may still be instances where a customer contribution is required to cover certain expenses. This can vary based on the specific improvements or installations needed for your home.
- We prioritize transparency in all our dealings. After conducting our survey, we will discuss any potential contributions with you in detail, ensuring you’re fully aware of any costs that may be associated with the ECO-supported improvements.
- GBIS was announced by the Chancellor on 23 September as part of the Growth Plan 2022, confirming £1bn of help through the scheme between April 2023 and March 2026.
- The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) formerly known as ECO+, was announced by the Chancellor on 23 September as part of the Growth Plan 2022, confirming £1bn of help through the scheme between April 2023 and March 2026.
- GBIS will deliver mainly single, low-cost insulation measures to households rather than multiple measures.
- This will ensure the maximum number of households can receive support through the scheme as quickly as possible.
- The eligibility will be divided into two groups:
Broader group
- Households who are not eligible for support under other ECO schemes. This group will cover all homes in Council Tax bands A-D in England, A-E in Scotland and A-C in Wales, with an EPC of D and below.
Low-income group
- Households that would qualify via the usual ECO4 qualifying criteria.
We provide workmanship, product and financial protection guarantees for all our installations. The length of these warranties are dependent on both the measure and product being installed.
Installation times depend on the measures being installed and can vary from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks.
