Helpful and friendly team.

CEG installed our ASHP without major hitch. We felt well supported throughout and didn't feel like it was a hard sell. They were sympathetic to our total lack of understanding of the often complex concepts (eg. Delta T) involved in designing the type of heating system, mostly they took the pain out of the process and getting us the information needed to apply for the RHI in a timely fashion.
Their installation team we're very efficient and friendly. Hauling the unit up to its perch on the hillside and then plumbing it all into a tight corner.
In general we're very happy with the system and it's worked without fault.

We went on to get CEG to do a full rewire of the building which was also completed to a high standard and with care and diligence.

Excellent service for an ASHP install (22kW)…

Cotswold Energy installed our Air Source Heat Pump, which has been working well since they installed it a month or so ago. Ours was a slightly unusual install as we had a largish (22kW) installation. Cannot recommend highly enough. Extremely friendly and professional company, and each and every person I met was prepared to go the extra mile. Particular mention to Sam, Charlie and Bronwen who were excellent.

The full install took a couple of weeks, and they tried to minimise disruption as much as realistically possible. Very flexible and accommodating. I would very much recommend to anyone looking at getting an ASHP.

Cotswold Energy Group - First Class

Cotswold Energy Installed our Air Source Sump last year connecting it to existing underfloor heating and radiators and replacing our old hot water tank. From start to finish Tom and his staff were professional designing and specifying an installation which has proven to be excellent, providing us with a lovely warm house. The specification has proved to be perfect with the installation carried out professionally on time and budget.
Twelve months on Cotswold Energy have just carried out our annual service to the same high standards.
We can thoroughly recommend Cotswold Group.

Cotswold Energy Group installed our air source heat solution

Cotswold Energy Group installed our system a few years back and with everything happening with energy nowadays, what a great decision we made. We are quietly smiling at everyone with massive monthly bills and now have a great heating system. The whole project by CGG was professional and they delivered a fantastic green solution that with our solar panels and battery we are very happy.

Extremely poor experience

We’ve had such a poor experience with Cotswold Energy I feel obligated to warn others.

We entered into a contract with Cotswold Energy to supply and install an air source heat pump and underfloor heating system at our property. The positive reviews were one of the reasons we decided to employ Cotswold Energy but unfortunately we were severely let down by their capabilities and attitude. There were changes in key staff involved with our project with apparently no handover as we received conflicting information from different colleagues regarding details of our project. Problems were exacerbated by the fact that they employed a subcontractor for an important aspect of the work. We did not receive any written plans of the system or any written specifications for the expected preparatory work. The assigned project manager - who was also one of the company directors - seemed unaware of aspects that we had discussed with other colleagues. He seemed to rely on the guidance of their unreliable subcontractor for direction. The situation led to a disagreement between us and ultimately we had to employ a new company to complete the work. The attitude of the management in dealing with our complaints was dismissive, rude and unhelpful. The company was unwilling to admit any fault and continually tried to shift blame for their mistakes onto us, despite the fact that they had failed to adhere to the renewable energy consumer code and the agreed contract.

Our experience with Cotswold Energy has caused us unnecessary stress and delays and we would strongly advise anyone looking to install a renewable heating system to avoid this company.

Complete success with new technology

I now have a better grasp of the very concept of ASHP. The controller box is easier to follow with the help of facebook videos. With some tweaking the system is functioning perfectly. This is entirely due to the care and diligence of Cotswold Energy Group, and in particular to Zoe. It is a fully committed company and their response to any query has been swift and magnificent. Finally, you should join me and enjoy the huge savings which I am making. Ralph Coleman

Cotswold Energy Group installed ASHP

Cotswold Energy Group installed an air source heat pump in my 1930s semi-detached property in February this year. I was very impressed with the operation, it all went smoothly and, all involved were courteous, efficient, and helpful. It was great that I was able to work from home during the whole operation. It was also brilliant that the work completed in good time and did not roll over into the initial proposed following week. It took a little getting used to compared with the old gas system, but it does work very well especially alongside the solar panels I had fitted the year before. If you are considering getting an ASHP fitted I would highly recommend using Cotswold Energy Group.

Our ASHP was installed last year by Cotswold Energy Group

Our ASHP was installed last year by Cotswold Energy. They were extremely efficient, always available for advice and the installation was very professionally completed. This was despite the problems surrounding our project - we had a rogue and completely incompetent general builder who made life extremely difficult for all concerned, however Arran and his team coped with all the resultant problems in a sympathetic and very helpful manner.
Our ASHP has worked well for the last 12months. I would have no hesitation in recommending CEG to anybody who is thinking of installing a heat pump

Cotswold Energy fitted ASHP in May.

Cotswold Energy fitted ASHP in May.
Truly a professional company from their initial visit, right through to the completion of the work.
Special mention to Zoe along with the guys completing the installation Sam & Josh.
They were polite & respectful & explained everything along the way.
So refreshing to have a Company that cares in our home and to complete the work to a high standard.
I recommend using this Company is you want a stress free experience

Cotswold Energy ASHP Installation

Cotswold Energy installed an Air Source Heat Pump for me. It was designed and installed during Covid and there were some delivery issues outside of Cotswold Energy’s control but I was always kept up to date with what was going on. The installation was well managed and the few issues that you always get with this sort of work was sorted out quickly and effectively.

CEG fitted a new Air source heat pump…

CEG fitted a new Air source heat pump to replace one fitted by another company that was undersized.
We are pleased to say that the new one does the job perfectly and Ross who installed it was very efficient and knowledgeable and always available for any follow up questions.
We would recommend using CEG to anyone.

I cannot fault this company

I cannot fault this company. We had a lot of ground works done to allow the installation of an ASHP. All works carried out by CEG. Every member of staff we encountered from this business was friendly and helpful. Biggest thanks to Greg and Chris for keeping us up to date on progress throughout

CE did a great job

CE did a great job of installing a Mitsubishi Ecodan ASHP for us overcoming some installation challanges in an old property and it has been faultless since.

Happy customer after 2 years

We had our ASHP installed by CEG in our 1980's detatched house in the summer of 2020. The installation followed a careful assessment by courteous and knowledgeable staff, was completed promptly and with excellent after-sales service. We have found the room heating to be very effective through the two winters since then. I would not hesitate to recommend CEG to others.

-- Air source pump installed in a very Old House

-- Air source pump installed in a very old house ..

I was anxious about replacing the old oil heating system. I realised the way forward into reducing my carbon footprint and reducing bills was an alternative heating system.

Cotswold Energy Group LTD.. Are a good company to deal with.

They give expert advice, effective solutions. Very helpful.
Ontime and very polite.

I was really impressed with how neat and tidy their work is.

A company to be recommended, especially if you are uncertain which products are the best for your house..

ASHP installation by Cotswold Energy

I had a Mitsubushi ASHP installed by Cotswold Energy just over a year old. It has performed fautlessly and has significantly reduced my energy bills as well as my carbon footprint. It has needed no attention except changes for holidays and the like which have been very easy to do. I was very impressed with the CE team during planning and installation and they worked seamlessly with the Green Shop who added PV and a Solar iBoost device. Wholeheartedly recommended and the more people who fit ASHPs the better.

Cotswold fitted our ASHP two years ago

Cotswold fitted an ASHP for us nearly two years ago, and over two winters we've had better heat around the house than before. Their estimate of costs and savings was made before the recent huge changes in gas and Electricity prices, but we've been glad to not need to burn any gas, and with the use of our solar panels, there seems to be a saving on our saving bills compared to how they would have been, though that's not easy to calculate with changing prices!
Cotswold did the job for us very efficiently and we have no complaints at all.
