Review Summary for Better Planet (UK) Ltd

Better Planet (UK) Ltd. customers consistently praise the company's professionalism, extensive knowledge, and the smooth, integrated nature of their installations, frequently highlighting the friendly and helpful demeanor of their staff, often described as a "family firm." The most common weak spot, based on limited feedback, appears to be the initial inquiry process where some potential customers feel more detailed information about their property characteristics should have been requested upfront to provide better early guidance on system pricing or suitability, leading to a £200 charge for a heat loss report which some question in relation to an EPC. The company is particularly well-suited for homeowners seeking air source or ground source heat pump installations, especially those with complex requirements such as integrating with existing solar thermal systems, and also for solar panel installations and NIBE appliance servicing. Before ordering, a customer should clarify the precise purpose and comprehensiveness of the £200 heat loss report, as well as discussing how their specific property details will be used to tailor a proposal without needing to pay for an initial survey, if possible, to ensure an early understanding of potential costs and system fit.

Better Planet have installed 12 solar panels which are now kicking out power for the home, the car and the national grid. We have been impressed by their attention to detail and care in installation.

We were recommended to Better Planet by friends nearby as a family firm with great customer service. They were right. From Oliver’s initial visit to Peter’s careful survey and Thomas, Tom and Peter’s installation it could not have gone more smoothly. Jack and Stephanie visited as well. A totally professional and integrated family firm. All the members of the team were a pleasure to have in the house. System working very well. Thoroughly recommend.

The installation team from Better Planet made preliminary visits to explain the heat pump process. On the day of the installation 3 men with different tasks completed the entire job with coordinated efficiency. They were friendly, conscientious and happy to answer all our questions about how the heat pump works, its relationship to the underfloor heating and how we manage the controls. The new house we're building warmed up over the Christmas period and has stayed at 21 degrees ever since. In early January the team returned for the formal commissioning and handover. We chose this company after receiving 5 other quotes but chose Better Planet because the sales team headed up by Oliver Larson were clearer, better communicators and easy to reach by email and phone. Another big advantage for us is that their offices are based nearby this avoiding problems associated with companies that appear to be local but are in fact headquartered miles away. Give them a go, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! John (near Hertford)

We decided to make our contribution to the global fight against climate change by replacing our gas boiler with an air source heat pump (ASHP) for heating our home and domestic water. Being a novice in this technology we had to learn and educate ourselves on this method, thankfully many official sites provide enough information for this.We contacted Better Planet company in between 4 other installers, including big electricity providers that are also operating in the ASHP installation business.The reason we selected Better Planet is because they were the only company with a well informed and rational proposal for our home which is slightly more complex than averageThe complexity stems from the fact that we already have a Solar Thermal system to heat our water (installed more than 15 years ago) which is providing a descent service in covering 3/4 of our hot water needs so, we didn't want to abandon and decommission it.The engineers of the company accepted the challenge to combine both ASHP and ST systems in one hot water cylinder The experience was fabulous!First a heat loss survey assessed precisely the heating needs of the house. After a few exchanges to understand the technical challenges, we concluded to the most appropriate system well adapted to the heat loss report and not oversized. This is actually an essential part of the project if one wishes not only to heat the house well but also economically. For this reason, proposing at the start of the conversation a heat loss survey should be considered as a mark of quality of the company!During the installation which took approximately one week we have been amazed by the technical expertise, experience and professionalism of all the engineers and technicians involved. It is so comforting to see people think first and make a well-informed and common-sense decision before acting!And always consulting with us with a level of communication adapted to our understanding (from both office and field personnel).The final result looks like a piece of plumbing art, heating perfectly and constantly our house effortlessly and efficiently.Thank you Better Planet! We need serious companies like you to convince more people to make the so much needed leap to an ecologically sustainable future.Wish all success Emmanuel Xystrakis and Efterpi Papouli
