Zeb and team did and a great job…

Zeb and team did and a great job installing a heat pump, solar and battery system. They really went above and beyond in 3 aspects - working together with our builder as we had building works ongoing during the install, - squeezing the plant room/water tank into a very tight space, and helping to track down a longstanding issue we had with loft radiators that were not working.

I had a fantastic experience with Zeb…

I had a fantastic experience with Zeb and the Creative Energy team. Having been told by multiple other Heat Pump installers that my job was too complex for them, Zeb and team found a solution that I am extremely happy with. With limited options on where to place my heat pump, they thought outside of the box on how to make the installation clean and how to keep the pipework as hidden away as possible. My house is now nice and toasty at all times and my energy bills are about a third of what they used to be. I would have no hesitation in recommending Creative Energy to anyone looking to install a heat pump.

Creative Energy are helpful professional team.

The air source heat pump that Zeb and his team at Creative Energy installed in our Victorian terraced house has now been operating for two years. It has been faultless and has enabled us to remove the gas supply to our house. At our yearly service, Zeb reviewed our energy consumption and recommended a tweaking of our settings, which has helped to increase the benefit of our conversion. From their initial quote through installation and beyond, the Creative team have proven very helpful and responsive.

Commercial Renewable Services

We recently had solar panels and EV chargers installed at our office by Creative Energy Ltd., and the experience was excellent. Their commercial team was professional, knowledgeable, and highly efficient from start to finish. They took the time to understand our energy requirements and provided a tailored solution that maximised both cost savings and sustainability.

The installation process was smooth, with minimal disruption to our operations. The team worked quickly and kept everything on schedule, ensuring we were up and running without delays. Their expertise in commercial renewable energy was evident, and they handled every aspect seamlessly.

If you're looking for a reliable partner for solar PV, battery storage, or EV chargers for a commercial property, I highly recommend Creative Energy Ltd. Their focus on quality and efficiency makes them stand out in the industry.

Great experience with heat pump installation

We are really pleased with the heat pump system installed by creative energy. From the beginning and all the way through the process they were knowledgable, helpful and gave good advice to design a system that met our requirements. The installation team were courteous and went above and beyond to make sure the pipe work was hidden. We are very happy with the final system.

Great company, trustworthy and reliable!

My heat pump installation experience with Creative Energy has been 5*! From the very beginning, the team have been thorough, informative and trustworthy. I would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to get a heat pump or renewable energy installed in their property. Zeb is especially knowledgeable and didn't try and sell me equipment that I didn't need. My new heat pump suits my home perfectly. Many thanks to Zeb and the team.

Disappointing

Disappointing. I did a heat loss calculation and initial estimate for a heat pump with Creative Energy. However, I was not impressed with their thoroughness which led me to get several other opinions from other businesses.
- They proposed an oversized system 12kw vs 7kw proposed by other shops.
- They were going to forgo around planning permission which would have put our BUS grant at risk. Red flag.
- They proposed an incorrect cylinder (a horizontal one) for the heat pump which would have been incorrect. Another red flag.
- They spent only 15 minutes on site to do a heat loss calculation instead of the several hours that other shops did onsite.

I paid the £400 for their rudimentary heat loss calculation and am disappointed that I had to throw away my money on a business that doesn't do their craft well.

Avoid.

Hi Mime,

We are disappointed to see that you have left such a terrible review based on your experience with us. I feel from initial enquiry to sending you a proposal pack the process was as personal and smooth as it normally is for us. I'm not sure why you have decided to criticise almost every aspect of our proposal when in reality we take great care over our proposals and calculations associated. Installers in any industry will always have varying opinions on the best solution for you. If you feel that you trust another installers opinion over ours then you are well within your right to chose to proceed with them, this is why you get multiple quotes! Leaving a 1 star review for an installation company when you have only received a proposal/quote and haven’t even had an installation carried out is bizarre and completely unfair. In response to your specific points:

1. There are a number of horizontal hot water cylinder on the market that are specifically designed for use with heat pumps and are sold by the thousands. As a company we have installed a number of systems with horizontal cylinders and all of them have happy customers!
2. Installers have different methods for carrying out a heat loss calculation. Most, like we used to, spend a couple of hours on site with an iPad or similar and compete it there and then. We transitioned away from this a year ago. As we explained before we carried out the heat loss that we record a video of us taking all of the measurements with a laser measure, this includes all walls, windows and radiators. We also take note of any other measurements and material makeup notes. This only takes around 15-20minutes. Our heat loss technician then spends around 2 hours in the office extracting the data from the video and completing the heat loss. This allows us to spend less time in your home, in your case specifically we were in your home for at least 1 hour in total.
3. We had not oversized the system, we sized it based on our heat loss calculation which historically has been far more accurate than other companies as our engineers are qualified energy assessors so are overqualified for the task at hand. The fact other installers heat loss came out lower is nothing to do with us.
4. Finally the comment on planning permission. We couldn’t have been more clear regarding this. Planning permission is the consumers responsibility and it clearly states this in our proposal pack. I also made this clear on site. We have no authority to avoid planning permission and there would be no benefit whatsoever for us to encourage you not to get planning permission if required. There have been no cases of OFGEM (BUS grant) picking up on planning issues for retrofits during audits. They focus on the installation itself. This data is public.

Your comments are not based on facts but opinions of other installers and yourself. We would have installed a great system for you and you could have been one of our many happy customers!

We will not be responding further regarding this matter as we have actual customers to look after. Please consider how your negative reviews may affect future business your deal with.

Kind regards

Creative energy provide first rate heat pump systems

We used Creative Energy on personal recommendation after having a frustrating time with Octopus. They were very efficient, considerate and we are really pleased with the finished system. So far we seem to be paying less and the house is much warmer. Zeb was really helpful in suggesting a quiet heat pump and where best to site it. The team led by Danu were fully committed to getting the job done. We are using the Homely control system which works well with Octopus Agile- it is an ingenious system and easy to use. It is so much better than our old gas system.

Creative Energy Ltd exceeded my expectations with our air source heat pump installation. Professional, efficient, and cost-effective – I'm thrilled with the results and lower heating bills. The process was very smooth from the initial survey to handover, and the whole team were polite and respectful. A true example of how all companies should treat customers!

Excellent explanations and installation

Zeb took his time to explain all the options and how everything works with an air source heat pump system for heating and hot water. We have only had the system in a few weeks, so it's difficult to say exactly how it will perform in the long term, but so far it is excellent and we get all the hot water we need with no problems. Considering the work involved, it's good value for money, and Zeb also applied for the government grant on our behalf.

Great service.

I had Creative Energy install one of their renewables packages for my home in Oxford. Previously, we ran our large house and swimming pool with an oil field heating system. Creative Energy designed a complete system which provides heating via a ground source heat pump. Removing fossil fuels coupled with installing a large ground mount solar system means our bills have reduced to just 10% of what they were. A great experience all round.

First-rate experience with heat pump/UF heating installation

Zeb installed a heat pump and associated underfloor heating for me in a late Victorian terrace in North London. He took over the job from a nationally operating company that I'd hired four months earlier and that in that time had displayed an absolutely staggering level of incompetence and cluelessness. I sacked them eventually and, my lesson learned, went for a small locally operating outfit. Zeb was fantastic - he went to work very quickly to catch up on lost time and devoted serious thought to the question what system would be best suited to my house. Despite being touted as the solution to all of the country's ecological commitments and problems, making heat pump-based systems in old houses work is not trivial and there's no one-size-fits all solution. So I was very relieved to finally have found a competent person who was happy to explain what was happening at any time and who designed a solution specifically for my house. We settled on a water-based (if that's the term) underfloor heating system whose pipes are bedded in a kind of concrete screed that acts as a battery and stores the warmth from the pipes. Zeb and his team cooperated very well with my builders to install the system. It's now been running for a few months and it's a wonderful experience - even gentle warmth that spreads into all corners of the house and makes cold feet a thing of the past.

Zeb was courteous, informed, communicative, and could always be reached at short notice. His prices were reasonable and he explained all bills carefully - I was never in the dark as to what was being charged for what. I eventually hope to install solar panels on my roof to make the house as energy self-sufficient as possible and have no doubt that I'll go with Zeb again for that job. I recommend him and his company very highly.

Creative Energy great for solar and heat pumps

Creative Energy installed a ground source heat pump for us and battery storage integrated to our existing solar panels. From the start Zeb was excellent at keeping us informed about the process, listening to our many questions and patiently answering them. Zeb is also good at thinking outside the box and coming up with solutions to the challenges. Installation was completed in probably the worst two weeks of the winter, with three named storms coming in close succession. Inevitably, considering the circumstances, there were a few teething problems, but the work was completed in time for us to apply for the renewal heat incentive. Zeb and his team were professional and completed the work to a high standard. We would definitely recommend Creative Energy.

Creative Energy Ltd - professional installation of EV charging points.

Zeb Arnold of Creative Energy Ltd recently installed 2 EV charging points at my company's Head Office. the standard of workmanship and attention to detail on the installation is extremely good.
Zeb installed the chargers with minimal disturbance to to our operations and worked around us when needed. He also made excellent suggestions on how we could reduce the carbon footprint associated with charging our EV.
Zeb is a bight and engaging electrician and I would happily recommend him and Creative Energy Ltd to anyone who is looking to install EV charging points.

We fully recommend Creative Energies

We fully recommend Creative Energies for their flexibility and the high standard of their work.
Creative, in particular Zeb, were open to all ideas and suggestions and were not confined to one or two particular equipment suppliers, which we had found with other potential contractors. This enabled us to choose the heat pump we had selected. His help in the selection process was much appreciated and his flexibility, compared with alternative contractors ensured that we had the system we wanted rather than the one other contractors wanted us to have.
The installers were top quality. They were polite, sensitive to the fact that we had only recently had to redecorate, and very professional – clean, tidy and respectful of the house and our few requests.
I have left it a few months post installation to see if anything has occurred to call Zeb or his people back, but the system has, to date, worked exactly as expected – and quietly, one of our main criteria.
We would recommend Creative Energies to anyone thinking of installing a new heat pump/hot water system and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Installation of PV Panels, ASHP and EV Charger

Zeb and Creative Energy installed PV panels, an ASHP and EV charger for our new build in Shepperton. Zeb was very knowledgeable both technically and commercially and knows a lot about all three energy products and the energy industry. The installation was first class and delivered on time to budget and very professionally. I would recommend creative energy for any similar work and would use them again if the opportunity arose.

Great service

Zeb at Creative Energy changed a number of sockets and switches for us and was so quick and tidy. He supplied some items for us and made sure they matched with what we wanted. We were so impressed that we also asked him to replace two extractor fans, which he supplied and fitted (even though they were awkward he got them done no problem). All for a great price considering the level of workmanship. He was always there when he said he would be, quoted everything in writing, was so friendly and even great with our dog who was always trying to see what he was up to. We won't hesistate to call Zeb again when we need any electrics, he is a true professional.
