Case Studies
ISSUE: A customer was experiencing a severe drop in efficiency with their ground source heat pump. Unfortunately their heat pump was out of warranty and urgent attention was required as the winter was approaching.
SOLUTION: We submitted a report that showed issues with the original installation and a thermal image of the heated floors showing low temperatures. The installer accepted all of the findings and returned to site to complete the remedial works free of charge. As this was a legacy RHI application we requested a new commissioning document from the installer which enabled the customer to gain a new SAP rating, thus qualifying for an uplift of £4,600 in tariff payments over the seven year period!
ISSUE: A developer had built 3 new homes with under floor heating and air source heat pumps, with numerous problems with the install (the heat pumps were installed on earth, pipes were not insulated etc). The original installer was not interested in returning to correct his work.
SOLUTION: We recommended a new installer who completed all of the remedial works after his quotation was accepted by the developer.

"I first met Andy when I was considering moving from an oil fired heating system to a ground source heat pump installation. His advice has proved invaluable to us and, with his help and guidance, we have invested in solar PV panels and in air source heat pumps in our house and annexe.
I have used Andy's expertise as a trouble shooter in my property development business; his calm and authoritative manner and his ability to diagnose problems and deliver solutions is a key strength.
I will continue to utilise Andy's knowledge and experience in the renewable energy sector, and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others."
