Started a new company wanting to get into renewables, advice please!

[Rodreguez]

Me and a friend have started a new company called Zero Carbon Energy Ltd. We are both competant plumbing and heating engineers and both on the GSR. I also have my ticket for solar domestic water heating but have never fitted one!

I would just like some advice of how you or your company went into renewables, like heat pumps, biomass, UFH, etc. we have plans to do some courses in the future in these areas but want to get experience really. who would we ask, how would we ask them?

We both work full time for companies and are running this on the side the company has only been set up a week and got six jobs come through, all be it some just services and landlords tickets but we think this is a good start.

i think renewables are the future and want to get on the band wagon!

Some renewables circuits have Biavalent systems, a gas boiler would be a back up for heating your water if your heat pump/solar cant get it up to temp. If not electric such as and immersion heater, thats a mono energy system, electric only.

Unless your installing the boiler, playing with one or removing one to replace it with a heat pump or such then you shouldn't need your gas ticket.

Im sure Nu-heat do a pay back scheme, you have to pay for each type of renewable energy under their mcs scheme. If you complete at least 2 jobs within a say 12 months then they refund you an amount of money. I think thats right....?
