We offer several maintenance contract options for residential and commercial customers:
Solar PV Maintenance Plans
Our solar plans include annual inspections, roof/panel cleaning, electrical checks, shading assessments, system testing, and more to keep arrays operating optimally.
Heat Pump Service
Heat pump maintenance consists of checks on refrigerant levels, auxiliary systems, controls testing, leak inspections, energy efficiency validation, and more.
Battery Service
For solar battery backups and energy storage solutions, we ensure cells are properly balanced and components are functioning properly.
Multi-Technology Plans
Customers with multiple renewable systems installed can opt for discounted bundled maintenance which provides service across their solar, heat pump, EV charger, etc. in one combined plan.

Why Is Maintenance Important?
-
Safety Inspections
Having a professional inspect all wiring, connections, and safety components annually can identify any potential hazards before issues arise.
-
Optimal Performance
Dust, debris, shading, or loose components can degrade a system's electricity production or heating/cooling output if not addressed. Maintenance restores optimal performance.
-
Warranty Requirements
Many manufacturer warranties require documented proof of routine maintenance by qualified technicians to remain valid. Don't void your warranty coverage.
-
Extend Lifespan
Proper cleaning, adjustments, and replacement of worn parts helps renewable energy systems reliably produce at high levels for 25-30+ years.
Apply for a grant today
The UK government offers several incentives and grants to support the adoption of renewable energy systems like solar panels and air source heat pumps. Homeowners may be eligible for schemes like the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which provides quarterly cash payments over seven years to offset installation costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Modern air source heat pumps operate at low noise levels, similar to a refrigerator unit. There may be some outdoor fan noise when running, but indoor units are virtually silent.
Air source heat pumps are incredibly efficient, achieving over 300% efficiency ratings in ideal conditions. This means they can provide 3-4 units of heat output for every 1 unit of electricity used to power them. Even in low outdoor temperatures, they operate far more efficiently than traditional heating systems.
While air source heat pumps can provide sufficient heating on their own, some models work best when supplemented with traditional heating like a boiler during extremely cold snaps. However, you'd only need supplemental heating a few days per year. We size systems appropriately to minimize this.
Installation costs can vary based on the size of the heat pump needed, property layout, existing heating system requirements, and more. However, a typical air source heat pump installation for a 3-4 bedroom home in the North West ranges from £8,000 to £18,000. We offer flexible financing options to make upfront costs manageable.
Modern air source heat pumps operate at low noise levels, similar to a refrigerator unit. There may be some outdoor fan noise when running, but indoor units are virtually silent. We ensure heat pumps are installed at optimal locations to minimize noise impact.
When installed and maintained properly, air source heat pumps can provide reliable heating and cooling for 15-25 years. We only use premium equipment from trusted brands like Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Samsung.
