Overview
Peter, a homeowner committed to energy efficiency and sustainability, recently partnered
with Heatforce to install solar panels on his property. With a focus on reducing energy costs and preparing for a future with electric vehicles, Peter selected Heatforce for their local expertise and reputation in renewable energy solutions.
The Installation Process
Peter’s south-facing home, with its hip roof, provided an excellent opportunity for solar energy generation. Heatforce’s team ensured a smooth and efficient installation process, paying attention to detail and maintaining professionalism throughout.
- Installation Quality:
“All the electrical work was 100% first-class,” Peter said. “Tony and Luke were excellent. The wiring was neatly routed through the attic and garage, and the setup is clean and efficient.” - Professionalism:
“The installers were very polite, taking their shoes off every time they came indoors and cleaning up every day,” Peter noted. “Looking at the installation, I was very pleased with what they’d done.”
Motivations for Going Solar
Peter’s decision to invest in solar was driven by a desire to reduce costs, embrace sustainability, and future-proof his home.
- Reducing Energy Costs:
“With the constant rise in energy prices, we knew nothing was going to come down,” Peter explained. “We thought, how can we reduce our energy consumption even further?” - Future-Proofing for EVs:
Peter also recognised the need to prepare for a future with electric vehicles. “The system was designed to accommodate our plans for EVs,” he shared. - Environmental Impact:
Solar energy aligned with Peter’s commitment to reducing his carbon footprint. “It’s about balancing the return on investment with doing something sustainable for the future.”
Performance and Benefits
Although installed during the winter months, Peter was impressed with the system’s early performance.
- Energy Savings:
“When the sun shines, you’re busy looking at the energy you’re generating, and it feels like you’re getting something for nothing. It’s brilliant!” - Exceeding Expectations:
“I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much energy the panels generate, even on grey days. The system has already exceeded my expectations.” - Battery Storage:
Choosing to include a battery system enhanced the system’s efficiency. “I’m glad we went for the battery—it makes a real difference in storing energy for later use.”
Why Heatforce?
Peter carefully considered his options and ultimately chose Heatforce for their local expertise, tailored solutions, and competitive pricing.
- Local Expertise:
“I’ve used Heatforce before for heating solutions and felt confident in their service. I liked the idea of working with a local firm rather than a large national provider.” - Customised Solutions:
Heatforce provided a tailored solution to maximise Peter’s energy generation. “They installed eight PV panels which maximised the generation for our non-standard roof configuration.” - Competitive Pricing:
“The first price is never the final price,” Peter said with a smile. “Heatforce was flexible in their pricing, which made a big difference.”
Looking Ahead
Peter is excited about the future with his new solar system, particularly as energy prices continue to rise. With Heatforce’s high-quality installation and the inclusion of battery storage, he feels well-prepared to meet his household’s energy needs while reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
Quote from Peter:
“When the sun shines, you’re busy looking at the energy you’re generating, and it feels like you’re getting something for nothing. It’s brilliant!”
Conclusion
Peter’s experience highlights the advantages of choosing Heatforce for solar panel installation. Their professional team, customised solutions, and focus on long-term energy efficiency delivered a system that met and exceeded Peter’s expectations.
As Peter puts it, “The system is performing better than I imagined, and I’m confident we made the right choice with Heatforce.”
