Examples of the types of heating and solar projects we regularly guide across Devon and Cornwall. These are kept general to respect privacy while highlighting common challenges and considerations.
Note: Every home is different. These examples reflect typical situations we see — older properties, retrofit challenges, floor height constraints, and the realities of combining systems. They are not presented as guaranteed results.
Victorian terrace, Devon
A typical South West period home where floor height and heat loss were key considerations. The project explored overlay systems versus traditional screed and the practical implications for heat pump performance.
Plymouth area, Devon
A modern family home exploring whether battery storage made financial sense alongside solar PV. The project looked at real usage patterns, export tariffs, and payback considerations specific to the South West.
Barnstaple, North Devon
An older property where insulation levels, radiator upgrades, and realistic running costs were central to the discussion. The project highlighted both the potential and the limitations of heat pump retrofits in this type of home.
