"Chris fitted our solar Thermomax panel in 1995 so we have now had 13 years of free domestic hot water. The only time he has had to come back was when the panel needed moving to make room for a large PV panel five years ago. The best thing about Chris is his enthusiasm combined with knowledge and skill. Always available by phone for advice and unlike some companies he keeps his costs down. No expensive hotel bills when he needs to stay over."

Richard Darlington, Oldham

"When we moved into a century old house in Machynlleth we wanted to install a modern efficient heating system that used new environmental technologies. We contacted a number of companies but The Very Efficient Heating Company was the only one that could talk us through all the available technologies, recommending those that would suit, and crucially the ones that wouldn't. We were presented with a number of options and in the end we opted for a gas condensing boiler with an integrated solar thermal system and a separate log burner.

Chris and his team fitted the system quickly and it has worked faultlessly ever since. Any queries, that have arisen, have been answered/dealt with immediately and so we are more than happy to recommend The Very Efficient Heating Company to anyone."

Mr. & Ms. Moulton-Cass, Powys

"I had already done quite a bit of research on what type of heating system I wanted and had a specific pellet appliance in mind when I approached the Very Efficient Heating Company. The appliance is very new to the UK, so I wanted an installer who had a lot of experience in pellet appliances. They were very good about discussing various heating control options to optimise how well the system would work. The installation itself was carried out efficiently and the engineers have been helpful post installation when I have rung them up with queries."

“I have worked with Chris and The Very Efficient Heating Company on a number of solar and wood boiler installations over the past 6 years. His professionalism and wealth of experience in the solar thermal and biomass fields make his installations of the highest quality. It is always a pleasure and great learning opportunity to work with Chris.”

Katie Brown, CAT Engineer

“Our solar hot water system was installed in an efficient and tidy manner, after we had been given clear advice as to the best type of system to use.  Having started to use it, we are most pleased with the results.”

The Rev and Mrs Balchin, Machynlleth

"The Very Efficient Heating Company was great! They did a really detailed thorough job; firstly on assessing heat loss in our Georgian   home and secondly understanding how to combine our domestic needs as a family with our ecological principles. We felt we received an excellent service from dedicated workers. They clearly had a very deep knowledge about energy issues that was immensely practical  - there’s no green wash and flannel here!
