Make Your Home Cleaner, Warmer and Cheaper to Run

Energy prices keep rising. Many homeowners in Bristol want a better way to heat and power their homes. Solar panels help your home generate its own electricity from the sun. Air source heat pumps heat your home using energy from the air outside, even when it is cold in Bristol.

​

With both solar panels and heat pumps, you can lower your energy bills and reduce your reliance on gas. We are well reviewed, trusted local installers. We design every system to suit your home properly, so it works as it should from day one.

Heat Pumps and Solar Panels Are an Investment, Not a Cost

Solar panels and heat pumps are not just upgrades. They are long term investments.

 

They can:

  • Lower your monthly energy bills

  • Increase the value of your home

  • Protect you from rising fuel costs

  • Reduce carbon emissions

  • Prepare your home for the future

 

The UK is moving away from gas boilers. Many new homes no longer install them. Grants are often available to help with air source heat pump installations, making the switch more affordable.

 

When you choose us, you work with a local Bristol team who care about doing the job properly. No shortcuts. Just good engineering and honest advice.

We keep the process straightforward and friendly.

From beginning to end, it was a pleasure to do business with Fred and the team at Rickman Heat. It started with a comprehensive and detailed survey of the house, followed by the preparation of fully costed proposals, which were readily amended as we discussed the details of the installation of both the pump and the battery. The precise siting of the pump was a crucial element and was sensitively and creatively managed to fit in with our concerns about the impact on our view of the garden from the back of the house. We went away on holiday to allow free access to the whole house during the installation. Fred kept in touch with us with updates on progress and photos as well. When we returned, we were delighted with the skilful way Fred and his team had installed a substantial amount of kit in a relatively confined space in our bathroom and replaced most of the radiators throughout the house. The care the team took and the attention to detail were really impressive and much appreciated. The installation was completed and commissioned on schedule. Over the summer, we only used the pump for heating water, so it's been great to find that, now that it's autumn, it keeps the house warm and at a constant comfortable temperature. We've found that the change away from the inefficient ups and downs of radiator heat under the old gas boiler system to lower, steady temperatures works really well. Thank you, Fred and the team - we'll have no reservations about recommending you to our neighbours!
