Installation standards

Solar PV commonly follows MCS standards such as MIS 3002. Permitted development updates reference MCS noise criteria for ASHPs.

Searching for decarbonisation services in Greater Manchester that are practical and well documented? We focus on measures that deliver real savings with clear evidence. For heating, we assess whether an air source or ground source heat pump is suitable for your building type and usage profile. We size systems correctly, consider emitter upgrades where needed, and plan installations for quiet windows. If your site and finances qualify, we guide you through Boiler Upgrade Scheme options and coordinate with an MCS installer where required for grant eligibility.

For electricity, solar PV can offset daytime loads in offices, schools, and hospitality. We design arrays that suit your roof structure and consumption profile, handle DNO notifications, and help you set up Smart Export Guarantee payments for surplus generation. Where planning rules apply, we work within permitted development limits or support applications where needed.

Hot water is often overlooked. We improve hot water generation and circulation, balance temperatures, and reduce standing losses. These fixes cut complaints and lower energy waste, especially in education, care, and hospitality settings with variable demand.

Portfolio clients get a traffic-light plan that sequences fast wins first, then larger decarbonisation projects. We align with ESOS and SECR so your audits and annual reports have clear inputs and assumptions. If you are a landlord, we plan works with MEES in mind and explain any relevant exemptions. Every visit ends with photos and a short completion note you can drop into reports.

Here are answers to the questions we get most often about scheduling, what is included, compliance and paperwork, coverage areas, pricing, and response times. It is written for busy property teams and homeowners in Greater Manchester. If you cannot find what you need, email us your list or photos and we will reply within 24 hours.

Do I need planning permission for heat pumps or solar?

Often no. Many installs are permitted development if conditions are met, but checks are required for site specifics and conservation areas.

Are BUS grants available to businesses and households?

Yes, for eligible properties in England and Wales. Grants are typically £7,500 for heat pumps. Eligibility and installer requirements apply.

Will I be paid for exported solar electricity?

Yes, under the Smart Export Guarantee with eligible metering and a contract with a licensed supplier.

How disruptive is installation?

We schedule around trading hours, term dates, or events. Phasing and out-of-hours work keep disruption low.
