RE: Rate your air source heat pump installer & installation - ESSEX Recommendation?

Hi all,

Like some others I have had a hell of a time on my ASHP install, now over the 1 year mark and its not clear if/when it will be finished as the installer keeps cancelling. With the RHI deadline only 8.5 weeks away I want to tee up an alternative MCS engineer to come and finish the job. Does anyone have any recommendations for the Essex area?

Does anyone have a Panasonic 12kw ashp fitted to a new-build? We will be moving soon to the above, & would be interested to hear how theirs is performing - thanks 😊

In the coming days and weeks, I will be populating the front end of the website with ASHP units and installers in the reviews section – these will be top line summaries of products and installers, and the intention is for homeowners and consumers to rate their experiences. In time, this will hopefully develop into a useful reference for other homeowners to see whether a product or installer are worth investing in.

While I have the ASHP units under control, I would love to know who you used for your installation - please direct message if you'd me to add your installer to the site so that you can rate them - we will have multiple criteria such as professionalism, quality of installation, price, etc. This will an opportunity to promote the great installers or name and shame the guys that have bodged an installation.

@Morgan, thanks for that. I'm not sure the BBC will investigate – I do, however, have the email addresses of a few producers (ITV and BBC) and will drop them an email to look into this. Not sure they will, but worth a try.

@transparent, I've moved some of the conversation to this existing topic about installers and installations which is more on topic. If your response is more about electricity, you can start a "Educating the public on energy matters" thread in the electricity providers forum if you'd like.

@transparent the reason this doesn’t happen is that those advising government have stakes in it not happening. BEIS does consult the industry extensively but the people advising are almost all on payroll from companies outside the UK. And the U.K. consumes big time in heating and the foreign owned manufacturers love our ignorance as we spend more with them

Does @editor want this discussion here in this topic?

I'm very new here. But if someone knows how to start a new topic like "Educating the public on energy matters" and can move the above comments into it, then I'd like to respond there please. 🙂

If this happens, please tag me so I know where to go!

@morgan @editor

the industry is not fit for purpose as many are finding out.

do people really think north european countries in the EU put up with end users wondering if weather compensation is a good idea?

i don’t think people realise how they are being taken for a ride..

@alec-morrow perhaps @editor could use the weight of this site and home farm to try and encourage the BBC and others to kick off a public investigation.

An investigation into what Morgan?

@editor

As per the suggestion by @alec-morrow five posts up.
