    Are your customers’ needs changing?

    There has been a significant increase in the renewable energy technology installations in homes. By now, almost 90% of our work in new builds includes heat pumps or PV panels. There is certainly more awareness among customers and using renewable energy is even more popular in the countryside where houses and businesses are not connected to the mains.
