Cotswold Energy Group Reviews 

In early June 2023 CEG installed an integrated ASHP and PV system with batteries at our property. We obtained quotes from other suppliers, but we selected CEG based on their designs and cost. Throughout the pre-contract phase they took care to understand our needs and aims and worked with us to design and refine the most suitable installation to make the most of the spaces available. The whole job was substantially completed in six working days. We were really impressed by the professionalism, high standard of care, and attention to detail shown by the installers. Throughout they kept us well informed so that we knew exactly what they were doing and when. Most of the radiators had to be upgraded, so there was work in every room in the house, the loft and the garage, but they took care to minimise the impact on us, doing their best to keep disruption and mess to a minimum. They did return later to fine tune the system and sort out some minor snags, but these were rapidly and effectively resolved to our complete satisfaction. The work was completed on time and on budget, and the site was well tidied up at the end.
This project has enabled the gas supply to be totally disconnected.

We remain convinced CEG was the right choice for us and recommend them as a very competent and caring organisation, whose staff are highly skilled, unfailingly polite, and helpful.

Based on our experience: Highly Recommended.

Our experience with Cotswold Energy has been fantastic. We live in an old thatched farmhouse which was cold in the winter even with oil-fuelled central heating and woodburners. The Cotswold team came and did a survey and we were impressed with their obvious expertise and professionalism.

We booked in for an air-source heat pump and an overhaul of our radiators, adding new ones and replacing the old ones. In the meantime we also asked for a PV survey, and planned for solar panels on the roof of our barn.

Both jobs were done at the same time, and the teams were all great. It was a fairly complex project - we needed a new main supply into the barn - but Cotswold Energy took care of it all and delivered everything to a very high standard.

Now we're charging our car and keeping the house warm from solar and battery power, no more oil and no more cold house. Highly recommended for service and delivery, everyone we saw was a pleasure to deal with.

Cotswold energy were nothing short of professional when they came to fit our heat pump. Would thoroughly recommend this company if you are looking for an air source heat pump.

We had our ashp installed by CEG recently and overall the experience was excellent. I was a bit nervous about handing over such a large sum of money upfront without a detailed written plan but actually that worked out ok as CEG were flexible enough to make changes as issues occured. There were a few issues - some radiator sizes were wrong for example but they were able to fix these with minimum fuss. Its probably as good idea to be on site during the installation so that any issues can be quickly spotted and dealt with.
Overall it took about 5 days and so far its all working nicely.
At the end, the handover was rather rushed and I would have liked to know a bit more about maximising efficency.

Recently had 10 solar panels and 2 batteries installed by CEG to supplement 10 grant funded panels previously installed via Stroud CC. This turned out to be complex and I received differing advice from other companies. James was very committed and helpful navigating us through this patiently explaining options throughout. Lloyd and the team were excellent installing everything under strategic guidance from Lawrence ensuring everything went to plan. All delivered on time and good value especially as high wattage panels fitted and system integrated with our Heat Pump also from CEG. System has been working well since installation so still very satisfied and would highly recommend.

Communication, planning and installation all went very smoothly and the team were great. Thanks to Zoe for her survey and communication and the rest of the team for our 5 day installation. Only improvement would be to have an in house set of instructions for using the ASHP. The manual, as always, is complicated and the verbal explanation rushed at the end of a long week.

I had an air source heat pump fitted which required a complete re-plumbing of the house. From beginning to end the process was well planned and executed. I am extremely happy with the ASHP and the work undertaken.

The team did a fantastic installation. The effort that went into preparing the proposal meant that there were no delays, confusions or additional costs. It took the team 5 days to remove the old oil boiler, cylinder and water tank and replace it with an Ecodan air source heat pump. The installers were professional and focused throughout the project, working well together to complete the job to a very high standard. I was in residence throughout and there was good communication with me through the project. The builder's work was very neat. Although it's early days, and I have not had to use the central heating in anger, I have been monitoring energy consumption and have been very impressed with the cost of heating the domestic hot water. Obviously the system is a little more complex than just firing up a fossil fuel boiler. It's probably similar to buying a new car - it takes a bit of time at the start to get used to all the functions and controls but in time everything will become second nature.

Cotswold Energy made getting a 4kw solar system with battery a very easy and pleasant experience from start to finish, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to try to go green. Many thanks to the team.

From initial contact to the finished job nothing was any trouble, everyone did a great job exactly when they said it would be done.
Thank you all, a great team effort,

Great people to deal with. Reliable, professional and knowledgable.
They installed solar panels on our roof without any hassle or stress.
They gave sound advice and never tried to upsell. Also good at following up a few months later.
Highly recommended.

My ASHP is now full installed and i must take the time to thank all involved especially Zoe from day one way back in 2020 and laterly Chris.
Its been a big complicated installation tying in with building works to facilitate extensive insulating and new plumbing and electric of an old damp and draughty cottage to enable most eco running.
Throughout this project Zoe and Chris been outstanding going above and beyond to help me in all aspects and their knowledge incredible.
Numerous building delays meant delays for their teams to install and they kindly adjusted deadlines to help me.
I would thoroughly recommend !

We had Cotswold Energy fit an ASHP last week, which took 3 months from our initial enquiry - I reckon that's pretty good. I don't know how competitive their price was, but we were happy with it. The fitters were very friendly & helpful. It's too early to say how well the system suits us.

The entire team at Cotswold Energy provided excelent service when installing our ASHP and hot water cylinder. The project was carried out in a very professional manner ensuring the system visually unobtrusive paying attention to detail throughout the installation. The initial design work has ensured we have a system providing maximum efficiency giving a great return on our investment. Thanks Chris, Zoe and the Team

Cotswold Energy installed our air sourced heat pump last July. From start to commisioning, the process was carried out professionaly and efficiently. Our experience over the winter was very good with us not needing to use any other source of heat than that provided by the pump. No gas was used greatly reducing our carbon footprint. We have not hesitation in recommending Cotswold Energy.

Quick personal response to our first contact about installing solar panels and EVC with a prompt estimate. This was followed up by excellent communication at all times and agreed dates for installation. The team carrying out the work were professional, efficient and friendly, with good explanation of what they were doing and how it all works.
I cannot recommend them more highly.

Very prompt installation of my elderly mother's heat pump, which are surprisingly quiet despite being very close to the house. Few teething problems have been promptly addressed by the team. All running smoothly now and we are pleased.

Trouble free experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent and always very courteous. All the engineers were polite, considerate and left no mess whatsoever. I would recommend the company with no reservation.

We have recently had an Air Source Heat Pump and Solar Panels installed by GEG . The planning of both was very clear and inclusive of the customer (us) . Both teams when in our house were chatty , respectful of our home and happy to answer questions. The installations were fairly smooth, and the attention to detail was good . Only one issue raised its head and it was quickly resolved. Quotes were competitive, and i would recommend them to others. Its early days , but our experience of post installation contact has been good, and an offer to make a check the system visit in October when the heat pump is working at a higher load level was a welcomed addition to the overall package .

Quick installation of air source heat pump and radiators. Guys arrived when scheduled, very pleasant and helpful. Worked out replacing radiators and installing heat pump with minimum amount of disruption. Couple of small snags afterwards, sorted very promptly.
