Testimonials
I had a Ground Source Heat Pump and Under Floor Heating installed by Revolution Power in 2006 on to my self build house. Having lived with the heat pump now for about three years I have found it cheap to run and it has lived up to my expectations. I was that pleased with the service and the quality of the installation that I received from Revolution Power that when I built a house for my mother I did not hesitate to contact Revolution Power who installed an Air Source Heat Pump and an Under Floor Heating System again to a high standard.D.

"During the Heat Pump installation at Meadow Well, the team members from Revolution Power had to be very flexible and conscientious working in and around our busy centre
Here at the centre we have disabled groups and people on probation service so consideration had to be taken due to the nature of clients on the premises.
Revolution Power worked and co-ordinated with the employees of Meadow Well, and the other renewable energy contractors, to provide a complete seemless solution.
In the middle of the installation Revolution Power were asked to talk to a school group regarding the full installation of the heat pump and were able to accomodate the group with explaining the installation process in detail.
The Dimplex Ground Source Heat Pump is part of our scheme to become carbon neutral by the end of the year. We found Revolution's expertise to complete the installation and overcome problems on site to be invaluable."

"We've had our thermal solar collectors now for three months and they have worked silently and faultlessly. We have no bills yet to compare with previous periods but it is now early December, a time when we expected little benefit, but we are amazed. The solar energy starts pumping around 9.40 am most days and runs for 4 to 5 hours. The other day we were still getting the equivalent of over 4 kilowatt hours per day and its nearly mid-winter. I can't wait for the next gas bill!"

"My wife and I decided to look into the possibility of renewable energy at the end of 2008. Our reasons were partly fuelled by anticipation of rising fuel prices, partly through a wish to contribute to the renewable energy revolution and partly as a long term investment. Having previously come into contact with Revolution Power through a work requirement, we approached the company after doing our own research on possible options, to seek advice regarding installation of either a ground or air source heat pump. Given our circumstances, an air source heat pump with solar panels adding to the system, was felt to be the best option to look at in order to meet our needs.
Initially we were completely free from commitment to any transaction, and during this time Revolution Power staff proved appraochable, knowledgeable and willing to provide information and anwers to our bespoke needs from the outset. We were kindly offered the possibility of seeing a locally installed system at a nearby residence and soon after viewing this, and liking what we saw, we felt confident to commit to the process.
With a three story house, scaffolding was needed to allow solar panel fitting. It was erected quickly and efficiently and without delay the system was installed last October (2008). Wayne and his team were professional, efficient and seen to be highly skilled at their job and the installation process was smoothly done. Any questions thereafter have been met with immediate responses. Follow up inspections were undertaken with similar efficiency and clarity of purpose.
The bottom line - does it work? A resounding yes. From a purely financial standpoint, our standing with our energy supplier this April is £200 better off compared to this time last year (after only 6 months with the new system) and as from this month we are paying £25 less per month on direct debit. Total kWh usage for gas and electricity (combined) was less than half used for the previous winter - despite the fact that December / January were the coldest for years!
However, the financial benefits provide only a fraction of the benefit that we now enjoy and appreciate. What we did not realise prior to installation was the quality and uniformity of heating that the system would provide. In other words, the house is always warm - radiators are constantly warm - not hot - and so the level of heating is constant, 24 hours a day. That means no hot / cold dips in temperature through the day and constant fiddling with the old (gas fuelled system) thermostat. We remember playing "catch-up-the-ideal-temperature" and are pleased to say that it's now a thing of the past!
Now we have a great system - I would recommend it to be considered by all households - based on our experience. Whilst the financial benefits are tangible, the comfort of our house in the winter and the knowledge that the energy source is no longer reliant upon fossil fuels are all factors that serve to underpin our decision to make the change."

"Nothing can quite beat the feeling of taking a nice hot shower knowing that the heating of the water has been produced purely by the sun. The 'smug shower syndrome' is perhaps part of the equation that people may not think about if they are contemplating putting in hot water solar panels. But this is very important. By installing solar heating you know you are doing something good for the environment. Once installed the panels and pump work for themselves. There is very little energy needed - just the pump which is estimated at about £5 per year. Since they were installed, three months ago, we have only had our boiler on for 1 hour in total, instead of the usual 3 hours per day and we have been able to have our usual shower, baths and enough water for washing up.
The team who designed and installed it were great, very friendly and professional and the kit looks very impressive. I have no hesitation in recommending Revolution Power for their solar water heating systems - absolutely brilliant!
Life throws up lots of choices but this is one of them we should all make if you can."

"I'm sure you will be pleased to hear the system is working well beyond our expectations. Yesterday gave us 67 deg hot water by the time we got home from work. In September! I'll be interested to see what it does today with it being overcast."

"It has been a pleasure to deal with you, and I feel fortunate that you have carried out our installation. I feel we have had the very best of service from dealing with you.
I will continue to recommend you unreservedly to all who have an interest in renewable energies, and am happy to show our installation should you have anyone wishing to see a heat pump in action!"
