Green Squirrel Energy Ltd - Knutsford

Andy S.

Alan and his team installed an air source heat pump, solar panels and two batteries for us and we are very pleased with the results. We contacted several companies for quotes and chose Green Squirrel because Alan took the time to understand our needs and to offer different options and outline the differences. He also explained where equipment could best be sited and carried out a detailed heat calculation assessment. This highlighted the need for some larger and some additional radiators to provide the correct level of heat output. This gave us confidence that the end product would be right for us and would deliver a warm and energy efficient house. By comparison other firms merely provided off the shelf quotations that did not inspire confidence.
The installation was completed in a very timely and professional manner. The team were extremely polite and tidy and the work was completed to a very high standard. Whilst researching about heat pumps and solar power it became clear that the quality of the installation was at least as important as the choice of equipment. Throughout it was obvious that Green Squirrel’s focus was on ensuring that we would be completely satisfied with outcome by completing a first rate installation and ensuring that quality products were used.
The quote from Green Squirrel was not the cheapest we received but it was competitive and the one that we had the most confidence in. We were not disappointed and would happily recommend them to anyone else looking to install similar equipment. They will do an excellent job.

I commissioned Alan & the team to survey some existing equipment & to report on it's efficiency & physical state. Attendance was quick & minute perfect. I received very open, honest & friendly treatment throughout the visit. The report was clear & laid out everything that would be required to bring the equipment up to it's full potential. I'm not yet in a position to have the work carried out, but Alan has been in occasional contact, offering some very good advice. From what I've seen so far (and that includes prestigious awards), I'm be very keen to work with Green Squirrel again.

As part of a complex retrofit of a completely new ASHP heating system the Green Squirrel team also had to arrange for our property to have a three phase electricity upgrade. Alan did an excellent job of organising and managing the DNO application, installation of the new consumer units along with communicating with the electricity board and us. The whole installation was carried out by a professional, tidy and friendly team to a very high standard. We are looking forward to becoming Gas zero and are extremely grateful to Alan for all his help and support.

Alan and his team installed a cascade heat pump system in a large bungalow with new radiators and copper piping. We are very happy with the system and the work they carried out.

The large footprint of the bungalow resulted in a high heat loss for the property. The heat loss survey was undertaken promptly and we discussed radiator sizes, insulation levels etc as part of the initial visits. The planning was very detailed and the customer service was excellent. The team removed the existing boiler etc and did a grand job of piping in the new system. They even had Baxi engineers on site to oversee the cascade installation of the two heat pumps.

Overall we are extremely pleased with the install, which was completed to a very high standard and we would have no hesitation in recommending Green Squirrel Energy to others.

We requested for a quote from Alan & David as we wanted to get a range of quotes from a number of companies to be able to compare against. As soon as we made contact with Alan he was on the phone asking about our requirements with a view to arrange a viewing of our property to see how suitable solar panels were for us. The survey itself was extremely detailed and gave us the opportunity to fully understand what we would be getting from solar and whether it would be worth it. Other quotes we received were desktop survey quotes where the company doesn’t even come out.

We made the decision to go with Green Squirrel based on a number of factors but it was predominantly getting a quality product and installation at a good price and this is what Alan and David offered.

When it came to the installation it took some time, around three days but we were in no rush and we wanted it installed properly. Throughout the whole process communication with both Alan & David was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Even after installation was completed Alan still called up a number of times to ensure that the system was what we expected and wanted.

I would definitely recommend Green Squirrel and Alan and David to family and friends to choose a company to install their new solar system.

When my gas boiler broke down and was not worth repairing I knew it was time to investigate an air source heat pump. I have a dormer bungalow built in 1962. 5 months before I had installed a new insulated roof, solar panels and a 9kW battery so a heat pump is in line with my eco values. I had 3 quotes and each one suggested that a different level of work was required concerning changing the pipework and radiators. Alan from Green Squirrel’s approach made the most sense to me. He was recommended to me by Octopus. From the beginning he was highly attentive. He understands the importance of the quality of the install in order for the heat pump to work well. Alan invested many hours in the planing stage before I gave him the job. He appreciated the huge financial investment so was keen for me to understand how this system works and to ensure that my home was made suitable.
The whole team were outstanding and the work was completed in the time quoted. As I needed new pipework there was some disruption but all was made as easy as possible. I felt that both Alan and Simon, the engineer, really wanted me to be happy with all the work and for everything to work well.
So far the heat pump is working perfectly though I have not had my first winter yet.
I have felt very happy with the after install service as Alan has kept in touch and encouraged me to contact him with any questions or issues. I have no difficulty in recommending their work.

Simon and Alan were extremely professional, efficient and above and beyond helpful in taking over the servicing of my existing heat pump. I feel confident I have found a sound and reliable team to look after my system for the future.
