Service of Air source heat pump went smoothly and quickly a year and bit on from installation. Possibly on the expensive side when compared with oil boiler service that we had previously.

Panel installation

Workforce polite and clearly enjoyed
doing the installation. Gave useful information throughout the installation. Clean and tidy, excellent work guys.
The only downside is that we are still awaiting the DNO letter after three months.

Solar and battery storage

Cannot rate this business enough. From the day of quotation to install. We had them fit a 3.6kwh solar and 8.2 battery system for us. Nothing was a problem with all the questions I had. Everyone is friendly and very knowledgeable on what they are doing.

Very Pleased with the Workmanship & Performance of a Solar PV & Battery system

In August we had 17 recessed panels, the IBoost for hot water and an 8kwh battery installed on a East / West facing system. The works were done alongside a re roofing exercise.
Throughout the entire process Green Building Renewables (GBR) were helpful and provided the further information we requested. The installation team were very professional, worked seamlessly as a team and provided a very neat installation with all the additional flashing around the recessed panels ready for the roofers to complete the roof tiling.
We would throughly recomend GBR.
Whilst it is late summer, so far the performance of the system is in line with annual figure advised by GBR. Our electric consumption is down around 90% and our gas consumption (hot water being obtained via the I Boost not gas boiler) down 50%. As we move into winter, the savings won't be as good as this, but will still be substantial.
A good investment

Quality workmanship

Having a pv installation in place which was over eleven years old we wanted to update it with the addition of batteries and an I-box. We contacted Green Building Renewables and they sent a representative to assess what would be best for our current needs. We received a quotation which was acceptable and confirmed that we would like to go ahead. We were given a date for installation less than ten days following our acceptance of the quotation and Scott turned up promptly on the agreed date. He was a very competent fitter and worked extremely hard and we were delighted with the results. All packaging was taken away and he swept up afterwards. All in all a very satisfactory experience.

Solar Panel and Battery Storage

We had 13 Panels and 3 Battery Storage Packs fitted in mid-June and we are very impressed with the full set up, in fact we have requested that they come and install 2 more Battery Storage Packs.
As we live within walking distance of the York Office we were able to go round and discuss with them our requirements. It was all very well explained to use and they showed us all the different Panels and Battery Packs available. The next Morning they came round and did a Survey and by the end of that same day we had received a Quote for a system that was suitable for us. Then the following week everything was installed. The Staff at the Office and the Installation Team were very polite, knowledgable and explained everything to us and left everywhere clean and tidy before they left. Would not hesitate to recommend them to family and Friends. Loking forward to them coming round again to install the extra battery Packs that we have requested this morning

Excellent experience.

We chose GBR to install an ashp, hot water tank and radiators in Jan 2022 (to replace our old gas boiler.) At the same time they installed a solar array on our roof. In June a Tesla Powerwall was installed (ahead of schedule.) We have been delighted with the service received from GBR and highly recommend them.

When the clients keep moving the goalposts...

Our ASHP was installed by what was then Bright Green and is now part of GBR - the Daventry branch.
With some building works planned we asked for a radiator to be removed from our system and then we went into mission creep mode...
While doing that, having drained the system, could you please plumb in a couple of radiators we bought from elsewhere - oh yes, and supply a new radiator with towel rail. Oh, and by the way, could you move one of the bedroom radiators and replace two radiators in the main bedroom...
All taken in their stride, one radiator was "plumbed in" but not attached pending tiling behind - all done with minimal fuss, good communications, reasonable cost especially given the too-ing and fro-ing (by us).
Another good job, well done. Thank you all.

Solar Cable Replacement & Wiring etc

Absolutely first class company to deal with, from start to finish, and a great friendly professional team. We now have a solar panel system that doesn't cut out all the time (it was fitted by a different company).

I now know who my first port of call is for any additional work in the future. Well done and keep up the great work :-)

Solar Panels, Water Tank & EV Charger

We had various items installed by the team from Daventry, as part of move to a more sustainable lifestyle.

The service provided by Nicky in the office in pulling the quote details together and pressing things forward has been excellent.

The installation team were also brilliant, such dedication in the recent hot weather was highly commendable. David, Ryan and Kingsley provided clear updates everyday. They worked with a level of attention to detail, which is so rare in the 21st century. It felt we received the installation that they would have delivered if they were working on their own homes. Truly awesome!

We are up to our third installation with Daventry team. They came back in November ‘22 to install two further panels and we are expecting them again in the next six to eight weeks to add two more batteries to the system.

Each time we have the same high quality and efficient experience.

Very highly recommended!

Hi John,

Thank you for your review - we have passed your kind comments on to Nicky and our Daventry installers.

We apologise for the slight lack of communcation on our part, we are battling constantly with stock changes and supplies at the moment due to global shortages, but we will aim to improve this in future to make sure all of our customers are 100% happy with the service we provide.

We look forward to completing your installation for you.

Recent installation of solar panels

We had a full roof of 16 solar panels installed in March this year. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently with minimum disturbance including the scaffolding erection and dismantling. The supplied App shows us all the information we need to tell us the electricity being fed down from the panels.
We are awaiting the supply of the Tesla wall battery to complete the installation and remain hopeful that this will be done soon.
