We were extremely impressed with how the Magna team carried out installation of our heat pump tank and associated pipework. The installation were polite and courteous keeping us fully informed as the work proceeded. All work was completed to the highest standard of workmanship. They left the place tidy each evening and fully cleared away all rubbish and debris on final completion. Excellent job. We would definitely recommend Magna. The heat pump has now been operating for a week or so and we are delighted with performance of our heat pump heating installation.

We recently had an air source heat pump fitted in January 2025 by Magna, with some new radiators included. The difference it has made to the property, an old cottage, in terms of heat and comfort is amazing. It feels like a home at last - as soon as we walk in the door now it’s warm and welcoming.The team at Magna, particularly Bobby,’were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and the guys fitting the equipment and radiators did a good job considering the thickness of the stone walls and how cold it was in the property. They listened to us and offered options, advice and solutions. Everything fitted really well in what is quite a small airing cupboard and there’s barely any sound/noise that it’s working. Overall, we’re really pleased with everything, enjoying some warmth at last and can definitely recommend Magna Renewables.

We had an air source heat pump, solar panels and batteries installed by Magna in the summer of 24. From initial survey through to today, we have found Vinny and the team to be professional, courteous and timely with their work. We also found them to be competitively priced when compared to other companies we asked to quote. Our house is warm, cosy and through the winter, the electricity bills are less than our old gas central heating days. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Magna!

Great experience dealing with Magna renewables, fully recommend speaking to these guys before making your decision on who to go with!From the initial contact to the install & aftercare Magna have been brilliant (ASHP install). Against all the odds Magna went above and beyond to ensure my wife and two young toddlers were warm for Christmas, I cannot thank them enough for this!On the initial site survey, i was met by Jonathon who was a real breath of fresh air as he was very positive & reassuring. He didn't turn up with the usual salesmen tactics, instead he provided good knowledge, advice & interest in what we were trying to achieve.After a competitor attempting to derail the great experience i had been having with Magna, i made my decision to proceed with them as they were transparent, focussed on themselves with a let the work do the talking approach, which gave me confidence as they didn't feel the need win work by putting a negative spin on competitors.On to my technical survey, Magna were flexible in agreeing a time to meet again at my property. This is where i met Bobby who is an invaluable asset to Magna Renewables. Bobby is very knowledgeable and passionate about the service they provide. He is very responsive to calls / text messages and has helped me no end in understanding the best ways to get the most out of the ASHP. For a successful ASHP install not only does the system have to be fit for purpose but its extremely important for the user to be educated and onboard with how they should be operated, Bobby was excellent developing my understanding and i am now benefitting from this.The install - Magna managed to somehow squeeze me into their diary at short notice before Christmas (we were looking at a mid jan install date). I was delighted that Vinnie & Bobby were due to carry out our install, they both worked very efficiently to get the install done to a very high standard and were extremely committed to getting the job done. With a slight mix up with the delivery of goods the guys were held up through no fault of their own, however they worked tirelessly into the evening to ensure the job was completed on schedule. After other companies putting a negative spin on the fact i had installed my UFH / radiators myself, i can now confirm that the system is fit for purpose as calculated by Magna Renewables. We have now got a lovely and warm home and the system has kept my family toasty during the recent cold spell of -6. Aftercare - We had 1 very minor issue with he system which was no fault of the installers, I made Bobby aware over the phone, they had an engineer out within a day, problem solved! Also i have several chats with Bobby checking in on us to make sure we are satisfied with the system and usability of it. This is a company that really care about their work and their customers even after job payment & job completion. To conclude, Magna Renewables are an excellent company made up of real people that take ownership of their work, passionate about the move towards a greener future and helping customers take the journey to benefit not just morally but also financially. They have proven themselves to be great value and honest.

Just had a mitsubishi EcoDan Air source Heat pump fitted by magna Renewables . I found them through the .GOV renewable scheme and I have to say I've found them to be very thorough , professional , informative and helpful . The initial evaluations and assessments were done by Johnathan and Bobby ( I found them both to be polite , and relax with No hard sell just lots of hard facts and what to expect with the installation and the heating system ( I found this to be most informative ) The installation took bit more than 3 days , and the lads doing the installation were very good at their jobs and were very pleasant . Although I won't feel the full benefit of the system by winter I am very impressed with the whole Magna Experience ..... magna pretty much sorted everything out regards paperwork etc ... I just had to pay VERY GOOD INDEED , I would highly recommend this company as for me they were always contactable , very professional and to a high standard .... And made the whole experience and easy one !!!

Had a heat pump system installed. Brilliant, the guys worked so hard to get the job done on time. Follow-up visit to commission everything was faultless. You can have full confidence in Magna Renewables

Since having my heat pump fitted a couple of weeks ago I can honestly say that I am chuffed to death with it's performance. Right from the start when sales rep Jon visited my property to give me a quote I have found Magna Renewables to be very professional and their standard of workmanship has been second to none. Vinny, Chris and Mike certainly know their stuff and I would recommend this company if you are considering having a heat pump fitted.

I have had an Air pump installed within the last 6 months and to say Magna Renewables have look after me is an understatement. The system is a dream and they’ve looked after me who by my own admission is not tech savy at all. They also fixed issues on my existing solar system which had not been running as it should since it was installed 10 years ago by a company that is long out of business.

We had a great experience with Magma Renewables who installed our heat pump. The install took about a week and throughout the whole process the engineers kept us informed on progress and checked with us if there were any changes to the work they had planned for the day. The heating was only off for a day during the changeover, which was really quick and they engineers worked a long shift to ensure hot water was ready for the kids bathtime. Highly recommended.

Magna Renewables did a large job for us fitting a Air Heat Source Pump and changing the majority of our radiators (the ones the builder put in meant we had to run our previous gas boiler at least 65c), and while there were the odd teething problem (you always do on a complex job), they were supportive, solved issues quickly and the system has been flawless for the last 8 months.You get the measure of a company when a problem arise and how they handle it, and they passed with flying colours. Well recommended.

Having had surveyors and salespeople from other companies try to push as much kit on us as they could list, Magna's advisor visited and took time to understand our home and electricity consumption patterns to give sound advice on the right size and type of installation.The surveying and accounts team were communicative in the run-up to installation meaning we were able to organise scaffolding easily. Magna also uses their own installers and equipment, so there were no unexpected delays arising from availability of people and parts.The installation team took the old-fashioned electricals we have here in their stride and finished the work in the timescale they had indicated beforehand, even staying while we adjusted our Wifi settings to set up the data logging system. They were all polite, courteous, and patient when it came to explaining how things worked and what guidance they needed from us for installation.

We had Magna Renewables install a ground source heat pump in early 2022. They performed well and worked very hard given some challenges, including supply chain disruption, high volume of systems to commission before the RHI deadline of 31 March 2022, and the digger driver breaking his hand before the trenches were complete. Magna Renewables have responded promptly to teething issues including a malfunctioning circuit board. Their commitment and hard work can't be faulted. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that the reinstatement of the ground was not great, with the trenches still visible nearly a year later, and the instructing of a concrete contractor to make good a trench outside the house was slow.

Very disappointing Experience. Was "sold" a system on the phone after answering multiple questions, paid a deposit, signed a contract and arranged surveyors visits to talk with my plumber and electrician.When surveyor came although he seemed to know what he was doing he clearly had none of the information from the sales process and it was alarming (to say the least) that a system had been sized and sold without using any of the information we supplied. A week later they cancelled the Purchase Order, clearly they had mis-sized and misquoted. It then took us a week of calls, texts and emails to get our money back. Very frustrating and time wasting process.

Called the company and confirmed on the 30th August that an appointment had been made for 12 noon on the 16th Sept.It is 4-22 on the 16th September, no contact from the company despite my phone call at 12-50 to confirm. They obviously dont want my business.

We had an Air Source Heat Pump installed in September 2021, and almost 1 year on can say that it is brilliant. From a house previously heated using a multi fuel burner with a back boiler, it has completely transformed the heating of our home and we now have hot water readily available. We initially met with Vincent who came across well and was very knowledgeable about the product. Due to grants, Covid and having to get cavity wall insulation installed prior, the installation of the pump was a couple of months after the initial date suggested. This part could have been handled better as there was a lot of chasing, phone calls and emails from our side that were not responded to. We were told installation would take approximately a week, although it took 2 weeks plus a few extra days due to missing parts and different people having to complete different aspects. This was a struggle for us moving out whilst the work was done and being able to oversee it whilst still working full time. Nearly a year on we still have a few little problems that we have sent multiple messages to Magna about that have not been resolved. The fan will occasionally make a high pitched whirring noise for a couple of minutes at a time, and the control panel and app are not completely in sync and do not register some commands.Despite these issues the product is amazing and will certainly help us over the next few months to efficiently heat our home and supply us with hot water.

We chose Magna after wasting months in negotiation with a larger company and were immediately impressed with Vincent's technical knowledge and enthusiasm. We were further impressed when the quote arrived, which was exactly what we had asked for and slightly less than the previous company had quoted.Due to the well-publicised supply chain problems around the start of the year we were unable to obtain the specified pump units, but Vincent was able to find an alternative with the same performance and the installation was completed on time to a very high standard. The whole team were very hard working and professional.We are very pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of a renewable energy project.

Really pleased with the whole process from survey to installation. The team worked around times that suited us and prioritised to make sure we got completed by scheduled dates too. Always helpful and we're delighted with the finished heat pump. Competitive for price too so highly recommended.See more
