Joined-up assessment for power and heat
Roof and heat loss linked
We compare generation potential with the property's heating needs.
Seasonal use explained
We set out where solar contributes and where grid power remains.
Boiler support available
We handle gas boiler fitting, servicing and repairs alongside renewables.
Connect roof potential with heating demand
Solar panels can provide part of the electricity used by a heat pump, but their output and the property's heating demand change through the year. We survey properties in Durham to assess roof direction, shading, electricity use, heat loss and the existing heating system. We also review radiators or underfloor heating, hot-water provision and space for the outdoor unit. Those details let us plan solar generation and heat pump demand together while giving you a realistic view of winter grid use.
Make the property accessible for a useful survey
We also carry out gas boiler installation, servicing and repair work in Durham. Before a renewable survey, arrange access to heating controls, the current boiler, relevant roof areas and any proposed outdoor equipment position. Tell us about restricted parking, locked yards or other access issues when you enquire. We travel from our Hexham base for planned visits, and clear information helps us spend the appointment assessing the property rather than solving a small expedition to reach the plant room.
Frequently asked questions
Can solar panels fully power a heat pump in winter?
Solar can contribute, but winter output is usually lower when heating demand is higher. We design around this seasonal difference and explain the continuing role of grid electricity.
What areas of the property need to be accessible?
We may need access to heating controls, existing plant, electrical equipment, roof areas and the proposed outdoor unit position. Tell us about any restrictions before the survey so we can prepare.
Can we keep a gas boiler while considering renewables?
We can assess the existing boiler and discuss current heating needs alongside future renewable options. The suitable route depends on the property, equipment condition and what you want the next stage to achieve.
