What Our Customers Say
After approaching several other renewables companies in the summer we were struggling to have a time scale set for solar panels to be installed on our house. We contacted David at the Energy Saving Store on a separate matter and he visited us the following Sunday. We mentioned our attempts over the last six months to find a company who would install the panels.
He provided us with several solar alternatives that met our requirements, providing an in depth knowledge on the different products and what we could expect from them. He took measurements and provided us with quotes the following day. We settled on a system and two weeks later the installation team arrived - within six hours we were generating our own solar energy.
I would highly recommend David as a first stop for anyone considering solar panels or other renewables.
The reason I wished to use [The Energy Saving Store's] services were twofold. Firstly to gain an EPC certificate for each let property and to see how he could improve the energy rating and reduce the carbon emissions.
After meeting with David he advised me to login in to the Energy Trust Scotland website and obtain a voucher for each of my let properties. Once on the website I completed and submitted to the Energy Trust a voucher for each property before printing a hard copy for retention.
David and his team then performed an EPC assessment on each property and then carried out energy saving measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation and fitting of LED bulbs etc. A subsequent EPC assessment was carried out and copied to myself. Both David and myself then signed of each voucher and submitted these to the Energy Trust.
Once each voucher is processed by the Energy Trust the fees paid to David and his team for their work was refunded to myself in full. Accordingly there was no cost to myself.
There is a time limit of 16 weeks between the initial submission and printing of the voucher to the Energy Trust and final submission of the signed voucher on completion of the works. This is ample time for David and his team to perform the energy savings measures and completing the initial and revised EPC assessments.
In summary I would recommend David and his team to any landlord given that each of my properties were improved and each tenant could look forward to reduced utility bills.
Thanks for your kind invitation the other evening.
I found the various talks very informative which gave me a fuller understanding of the energy saving technology that is available and the remarkable cost savings that can be achieved. It was also great to know that at your centre you cater for all types of properties : industrial, commercial and domestic.
You obviously have spent numerous hours researching the latest and most efficient products on the market and they are all there for you to see and touch at your centre. It was pleasing also that the installers you have on your database are reliable, honest and trustworthy and I found them very easy to talk to.
I was also surprised to learn that government funding of up to £10,000 is available for many installations.
I will be spreading the word about the advice and services you offer and most of all it is time people woke up and educate themselves as the savings are very rewarding and not to be overlooked.
Many thanks for your support over the last couple of months.
Your service has been fantastic - Through your recommendations (help with the Energy Savings Trust Loan & identifying a suitable PV installer) I have now installed a 7.2kW PV solar system and would highly recommend the company you suggested - R&A Renewable (previous PV suppliers would limit my request to a 4kW system only). I had concerns over the aesthetics, installing PV onto a Slate roof - but as you can see from the pictures I think that R&A provided a great service.
We installed the system which you recommended to provide free hot water as soon as we are generating more electricity than we are using! With your help we have replaced more than 100 different types of light bulbs to LED's a chore which I knew I needed to do, but kept putting off!
I'm looking forward to seeing reductions in my electricity bill and income from the FIT tariff - and believe that we have made a good long term investment based on your recommendations. I'm looking forward to your support as we consider the next steps to install a log burner and start to reduce the gas bill!
Replaced our old oil burner with an 11kw Hitachi air source heat pump also added solar panels 6kw, installation went well one snag after commissioning but was quickly sorted by John and Tony everything working great now just have to wait and see how much we will save with new system. David installed led lighting throughout our house as well.
I wanted to upgrade my home near Lochinver with a modern, reliable heating system. I knew I wanted to move away from fossil fuels, but I was unfamiliar with the alternative technologies and how to choose the best option. So I contacted David at The Energy Saving Store in Dingwall. He came over, assessed my property, and explained the various alternatives. He then came up with a design concept and went on to manage the installation, using his trusted partners. I now have an air-to-water heat pump powered by roof-mounted solar panels with battery storage.
At the beginning of all this I was nervous and quite daunted at the prospect of committing to the new technology. But David's knowledge and enthusiasm provided all the reassurance I needed. I would certainly recommend anyone wanting to make the move away from fossil fuels to get in touch with David at The Energy Saving Broker.
