Ledi Renewables Limited

We originally enquired about ASHP and GSHP systems back during Q1 /2020. At the time we had just moved to 23 years old bungalow with original inefficient LPN gas boiler at the end of its design life. So, it was good time to consider renewable option As chartered engineer I spent 2-3 months searching for information and we eventually decided that, for RETROFIT installation, ASHP was much more sensible options in terms of balance of benefits installation risks and costs. We decided to also renew heating radiators at the same time. Also wanted cooling option which can be installed as an option to ASHP System. Three companies we invited to bid based on our high-level requirements specification. This was followed by technical review and costs and benefits analysis. Ledi Renewables came most favourably on technical, pre-sales professionalism and customer focus and being less sales driven (more realistic/honest in managing our expectations) . They took care in answering all my technical questions to highest standard Although they quote was higher than the other two, we felt that, overall, Ledi Renewables was the best for us. And we were not disappointed. Implementation, standard of workmanship and attention to detail were well above average. The Team took pride in what and how they did. Also, some further suggestions were much appreciated. Although there was a slight delay in final handover but that was entirely out with Ledi Renewables control (this was late radiator delivery from Stelrad manufacturer and technical issue with cooling option, promptly addressed by Vaillant guys). We were kept well informed and happy. Overall, we had new Vaillant ASHP System, with air-conditioning option, new radiators, sophisticated multizone heat control for each room, 2 digital shower mixers and other wee things done at the same time. Overall, we would not hesitate in recommending Ledi Renewables to anyone interested in installing AHSP system (and plumbing services as added value work) . Special thanks to the Technical Director, Grant Brown, and Jimmy Gaylor, the Owner

These guys were absolutely brilliant, so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They were also very clean, tidy and polite. Making the whole experience much easier than expected. My Husband, described Ledi Renewables work as, without a doubt the highest standard of workmanship he’s experienced in over 30 years as a Clerk of Works. That is praise indeed as he has very high standards. They went above and beyond to provide the Heat pump, Solar panels and Batteries we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble, walking us through the process of installation and supporting us to get used to the new system. Respecting our home and being generally lovely people. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Contacted Ledi for quote and Jimmy was very courteous when he came out and left us with a rough quotation for fitting solar panels. He suggested I emailed an accurate annual kWh unit usage for final quote. This I did - no reply. Following a further email he suggested I'd need to remove roof tiles and fit boarding underneath for panels, though in our initial conversation this was not presented as an issue or necessary. I asked for clarification, but... again no reply. Disappointed, as I like to use local contractors. Just feel like Ledii don't want this job.

When our existing LPG system of combi boiler and antiquated plumbing system needed replaced we considered all the options and called Ledi to see if it was feasible to install a ground source system. Grant and Jimmy visited and advised that yes it was possible, but that we should consider an Air source pump system. Our house is originally 1890 with various extensions, so underfloor heating was not an option. However they designed a system with radiators in every room, albeit the radiators are generally thicker and wider than normal, they are not too intrusive. Our entire plumbing system needed to be replaced. After acceptance of their quotation they started when they said they would, the team were excellent replacing carpets and hoovering every night after work. We asked for additional items ,namely insulation below the old suspended floors which was executed at cost of materials with no profit uplift. The work was completed within the timescale quoted and we received our certification and confirmation of our grant within a few months. If you are considering an installation of an Air Source Pump within 100 miles of Stirling I would immediately contact Ledi Renewables

Excellent service from Ledi. They were responsive and very reasonable. The engineer was efficient, professional and friendly. He arrived early in morning and did the job quickly. Highly recommend
