Isn't it too cold and wet in the UK for solar to work properly?

No, because vacuum tube solar collectors work even if it's freezing cold, all they need is sunlight and we get enough of that, even on a cloudy day.

Are solar heating systems too expensive?
No they don't have to be expensive. Although you could pay over £7000, you can actually have just as good a system installed for between £2500 - £3500.

How much will I save on my utility bills?
You could expect to save between 50% and 70% of your annual water heating costs. The more hot water you use the greater the saving.

Is my solar system covered by a full warranty?
Yes. Our solar hot water system has a full 1-year warranty on parts and labour. The tubes in the solar collector on your roof also have a 5-year parts warranty.

Are you insured against loss or damage to my property?
Yes. In the unlikely event of damage, we have £1,000,000 public liability insurance, as recommended by the Solar Trade Association.

When the installation is complete will you leave my property as you found it?
Definitely. Our installation engineers will treat your property with respect and will leave it clean and tidy.

What happens if I have a problem with the system after your engineers have left?
Simply call us and we will fix your problem as a matter of priority. After all, we want your system working to its full potential as our reputation is our future.

Who should I call if I need more information or advice once my system is installed?
All aspects of the system’s operation will be explained to you prior to leaving site. We will also leave a copy of our system manual with you. Additionally, we offer free life-time advice on the operation and maintenance of your system.
