Found Jc very knowledgeable and able to guide me towards the right car charger, solar panels & battery system for my needs. The team did a great job installing all the equipment in quick time. One year on and i’m really happy with the system’s performance. Now currently in the process of adding a battery expansion, again through carters. Thanks to all the team for a great service.

After finding a more complicated issue than expected, following a power outage, our local electrician recommended we give Carters a call and we are very grateful that he did. Rachel in the office was very helpful and organised one of their electricians to pay us a visit that day. Before we knew it we were back up and running. Following a very detailed and in depth fault finding session by Thomas. He was very efficient, effective and a pleasure to talk to. Carters pricing we found to be very fair, transparent and clear from start to finish. We would highly recommend their services and will certainly be using them again in the future. Many thanks.

Carter renewables have just installed a heat pump for us to replace our old gas boiler. And also an Eddie so that the excess power from our existing solar can be used to heat our water rather than being sold back to the grid. I was really impressed with the whole process. Initially, Jon did a fair bit of research allowing us to use our existing tank with a larger heat exchange. The install itself was smooth. The team were great, friendly, tidy and the work looks really good. As you would expect, they took the time to make sure everything was working properly and that we understood how to use it. Very impressed! Well done guys.

I was very happy with everything start to finish! They treated my house like their own and did an amazing job despite it being quite a complex install (you would never know they had even been there!). Great people to work with too so i highly recommend!

Getting a convenient slot was straight forward and the two electricians who came successfully managed to get the four different jobs fixed satisfactorily (where other electricians had not). I am therefore very pleased with the outcome. I think if I’m honest, the bill came in slightly more than I was anticipating on top of the quote but I’m still pleased that they were able to solve my electrical problems

Frequently asked questions

How do I know you’re properly qualified and certified to install heat pumps?

We are MCS‑certified and registered with an approved consumer protection/competent person scheme, which is essential for quality assurance and to access grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).

Can you tell me if a heat pump is actually suitable for my home?

We carry out a detailed home assessment, including property type, insulation levels, existing heating system and available outdoor space, to confirm whether a heat pump is a good fit.

What type and size of heat pump will you recommend for my property, and why?

We design the system using a heat‑loss calculation for your home, then match the correct kW size and model (for example, air‑source vs ground‑source) so it runs efficiently and reliably.

What will the full installation cost be, and what’s included in your quote?

Our fixed quote clearly lists the heat pump, cylinder, controls, labour, scaffolding (if needed), electrical work and any radiator or pipework upgrades, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you help me access government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

Yes, as an MCS installer we can confirm your eligibility, apply for the BUS grant (worth up to £7,500) on your behalf and deduct it directly from your quote.

How much disruption should I expect during installation, and how long does it take?

A typical air‑source heat pump installation takes around 2–5 days, and we’ll agree locations for the indoor and outdoor units, manage any planning considerations and keep you informed each day.

Will I need to replace my radiators or upgrade anything else in my home?

After the heat‑loss survey, we’ll advise if any radiators, pipework, electrics or hot‑water cylinder need upgrading so the system can run efficiently at lower flow temperatures.

How noisy is the outdoor unit and where will it be installed?

Modern heat pumps are designed to be quiet and must meet UK noise regulations; we’ll position the unit to minimise any impact on you and your neighbours and comply with local planning rules.

What warranties, servicing and aftercare do you provide?

You’ll get manufacturer warranties on the heat pump plus our workmanship guarantee, and we offer ongoing servicing and support to keep your system performing at its best.

What running costs and savings can I realistically expect compared to my current boiler?

We’ll estimate your likely annual running costs and potential savings based on your current fuel type, insulation level and tariffs, using real‑world performance data rather than lab figures.
