I had a Samsung high temperature air source heat pump, heating radiators, installed in July. Summit were prompt in providing me with estimates after discussions regarding my specific requirements and dealing with an old house. They dealt with all the preceding formalities in arranging the EPC and applying for the government grant. My house is very old and required working in limited space in both a roof void and the bathroom airing cupboard.In the latter a vented hot water tank was replaced with a new made to measure unvented tank. The tanking and completed pipework in the airing cupboard can only be described as a work of art! The existing cold water tank and central heating top up tanks were dismantled and removed along with associated pipework. The installation was completed in four days and commissioned on the fifth.Once started there was no let up from Matt and Alan until the installation was finished. Problems, mainly associated with working in an old house were quickly solved and throughout no mess was made and the house left clean and tidy at the end of each day. My existing radiators have not been replaced and the pump is providing loads of hot water and a comfortable warm house. I have had one slight hiccup in that the pump shut down both water and heating over a week end, but the immersion can be activated alone and this kept us going until I could contact Summit. I rang mid morning, explained the problem, and Matt arrived in the afternoon on his way home from a job and had the pump up and running within 45 minutes. Truly excellent service. My fault was a blocked strainer in the system and once this was cleared the pump has been working beautifully. Summit have been brilliant for me in all respects.
Great installation of solar panels, battery and heat pump. Company very helpful and technically competent. Installation was quick, friendly and cleanly done. House is now warmer than ever even in freezing weather and costs less to run than my old gas boiler. I recommend this company
We searched for 4 months looking for a competent person/company to repair our Mitsubishi air source system. We were let down twice with people not turning up as arranged. Thank goodness we contacted Summit. Technically very experienced & knowledgeable with air source systems. Matt was terrific & carried out everything that had been recommended. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs either installing, repairing or servicing.We have found that an air source system is a great heating system, especially with solar panels.Warrick Duffy.
We had a great experience having Summit Energies specify and install a large 8kW Solar PV system at our home in May this year (22 large panels with batteries and an ability to use Solar for hot water heating). We were very pleased. The panels and battery installation look great too.As a professional engineer myself I had high expectations going into the project and Summit met and exceeded them all and I was very satisfied with all aspects. The advice and explanation prior to, and throughout the project was excellent and Summit went the extra mile in several aspects which was really appreciated and the mark of a great company and a testament to the team. Summit Energies in my experience are a very customer focussed company who demonstrate and deliver to high standards in all they do and who give great communication and support along the way.All work was completed to a high standard and it was a real pleasure to engage with all the Summit team throughout. Special mention to Graham Allen for his expertise, Andy and Cath who were brilliant in managing and erecting what was a complicated scaffold, Alan and Henry for a brilliant electrical installation to a high standard, Matt for his experience and persistence on the hot water tank!, Neil and Cheryl for their great advice and support from the Summit office and of course Dave as company lead who was very involved and supportive throughout. So thank you Summit team! Very happy and already seeing the payback benefit starting to be realised.Neil RobertsMagor
Please be very careful when dealing with Summit Energies.We have a problem wih our solar (not caused by Summit) I ask for them to come and check our system. I had to chase them a few times to confirm a booking and finally after 5 weeks we were given a date.They sent an invoice for me to be paid upfront then cancelled the appointment twice more, one less than 50 minutes before they were due to arrive.I asked for my money back, which was promised same day but did not arrive until the following day and after I had to chase again.
It was a real pleasure to work with Summit. Especially as they are local to us. They visited site to gauge the work and ensure that they met our requirements with the contract. They arrived on site very quickly and worked had in a cramped and difficult space to install our new Heat Pump, Radiators and Solar PV system. They were always polite and very professional. I have already recommended them to other contacts and friends as a good company to do business with.
Excellent service from Summit Energies from the first visit from Matt who was very helpful and gave good advice until the installation of our Heat Pump can highly recommend this company first class service from start to finish Thank you
We had solar panels and a battery installed by Summit about a month ago. They were a very professional and helpful. Graham came out to look at our property so that he had a realistic idea of what the situation of our roofs were. I had quotes from other companies but they didn't inspect the property. The installation happened sooner than I expected, and was done rapidly and efficiently by a large team. The results are really good and we are very happy with the operation of the solar - battery setup so far. The aftercare has also been very good, with Summit providing the requisite certificates for the SEG tariff application as soon as I asked for them. All in all, highly recommended.
Summit Energies was recommended to us by friends as we wanted to install solar panels and a battery. Graham from Summit promptly came out for a home visit after our inquiry and he was fantastic, very informative and explained everything and made the whole process go smoothly. He went above and beyond in arranging the fitting prior to Christmas and sorted all the paperwork side of the process. He gave lots of helpful advice and was brilliant in helping find a location for the cable to our fuse box which would look aesthetically pleasing. He paid a lot of attention to detail. Alan and the team who came out promptly on the day of installation and they were all very friendly and professional and had the system installed in no time. Once the system was set up and commissioned Alan explained how the app works and gave lots of helpful advice and tips regarding our new solar and battery system. We have had no issues and the system works perfectly. Customer service was amazing and everyone who helped from the start to the finish of the process have been amazing. We are so pleased and couldn't recommend Summit Energies enough and their prices are very competitive. Thank you Graham, Alan and everyone at Summit Engeries, we couldn't be happier with the system.
Fantastic ongoing service from Matt and the team at Summit. We had a heatpump installed after our boiler broke last winter and they went out of their way to get it installed quickly so we'd have heating again after a chilly few weeks! There were a couple of teething problems with the install based on the type of setup we'd asked for (basically combining solar thermal into the system) and Summit came back multiple times until they'd ironed them all out, no questions asked & free of charge. We really appreciate the great service they've provided us!
Brilliant customer service, great staff very respectful and great product and installation
The team visit your location and access the suitablility of your property for a PV installation (the 2 other companies we considered just used google Earth to check).The team were also well versed in green technologies and the advice gave us assurance as to the future- proofing for EV points and possible wind turbine additions to our home systems at some future point.The team kept us informed as to the progress of the installation both from their installation scheduling and organisation with the DNO (Distribution Network Operator).The scaffolding team work exclusively with Summit on all their jobs and were very conscious of the mobility needs of one of our household in placing the scaffold supports.The installation team arrived on time and got to work straight away. Roofing work for panel installation and electrical work for the inverter and battery was all completed on the same day (we did have a very pleasent day to do this so please bear in mind that weather could create an issue).We did suspect that the coffee and cakes being provided may have been a motivating factor!All-in-all I thoroughly recommend Summit as a renewables installation company.
Install was done on 2nd March and i'm writing this review 4 months after install. Install was done in Swindon, United Kingdom.I had been quoted for a solar and battery installation by 4 different companies. I found Summit Energies to be very well priced as well as quick in the overall process as well as supplying quality hardware to install. Within a week of receiving the quote, the solar panels and battery was installed almost immediately whereas some companies were talking about 6 weeks to 6 months wait. Installation was done to a good standard. There were some minor cosmetic damage which they came back the following week to repair (mostly due to the tight spaces they had to work in when dealing with the electrics). From an installation perspective I could not fault them, really speed and professionalism. One bit of feedback around this would be regarding handover of system to me could have been better. Although they did show me initially the app I'd use and the basics around it, there was no detailed handover when trying to understand the detail behind using the app. Google and Youtube doesn't help much so had to ask around various forums to get some answers. Now regarding MCS certificate, this has taken over 3 months to receive which is needed to submit my warranty as well as to be paid for the export. This delay was due to a 3rd party who deals with this so can't blame SummitEnergies for this matter, but they did say they would compensate for the free export I've given to energy provider over the 3 months. Other than that i've got some final queries which i've been waiting a few weeks to get help on but response is slow (due to aftercare team looks like is the installers themselves). Overall:- Proposal and install = 5 stars- Pricing and service during proposal and install = 5 stars- Aftercare support = 2 starsThey can definitely look to improve on their aftercare support to make themselves truly standout from their competitors. I'm sure they will eventually come round to helping me with my queries, but the turnaround would need to improve. I'd still recommend them if you're looking for a speedy install that's competitively priced but be mindful the aftercare might be a little slow until they improve.
From the first visit we have been impressed with this company. We decided to have an air source heat pump. They were recommended to us from a solar panel provider. At the first visit, Matt went above and beyond our expectations, answering all the questions we wanted to ask, many without us having to ask them! We received the quote promptly with full details of all elements and stages of fitting. Summit Energies applied for the grant for us. They organised the EPC visit as we had no rating previously.
My total experience from the initial meeting with Summit though to the visits to my home, and the installation of the ASHP was conducted in a professional manner. Dates were kept and schedules maintained as set out. The installation took four days as planned and the team took care to keep the house clean as they carried out the work.When complete I was given instructions on the running of the system, then a week later I had a follow up visit by Summit to check all was operating as setup.As this installation was done in March ’23 which was followed by a long absence from the property until end May, I have not had the opportunity to test the system for heating the house on very cold winter days. Hence this review is based on the installation and provision of domestic hot water only.
The whole experience was brilliant. I delt with Graham Allen he is very down to earth and easy to communicate with his broad Northern Ireland accent. I particularly chose this company because they were the only ones who removed slates on my roof and fixed straight to the house joists before re slating with protective covers for the brackets. Ryan the roofer and his apprentice completed the installation of solar framework and fitted the 12 x 410 watt panels in a day. I have a conservatory running 10.4 meters across the back of my house which I thought might cause a problem. But Andy and his team used scaffolding beams bought in for my job and completed the work quickly and tidily both erecting and removing. Again very friendly and polite. Alan came to do the technical bit of wiring the system up and commissioning it and the hand over with the app on my phone. I can't recommend the whole company enough my system sent over 20 kilowatts back to the grid yesterday after charging my battery.Thank-you for a brilliant experience Gareth Griffiths Argoed
