What we do

Three trades under one roof, one number for all of them.

The engineer who fits the boiler is on the same payroll as the electrician who wires the battery and the plumber who does the bathroom. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing falls between two companies.

Heating

tepeo

Off gas without a heat pump. We are an established tepeo ZEB installer.

The ZEB is a heat battery. Overnight it charges a block of ceramic bricks with cheap electricity; by day a fan and heat exchanger pass that heat into your radiators and hot water, just as a boiler would. No flame, no flue, no outdoor unit. It fits terraces, flats and listed houses where a heat pump will not.
