EC Merrett Ltd

Project Description

Gloucestershire based heating specialist, David Merret, claimed his monthly Environment 2020 Award having completed an impressive heating installation at a cottage and boarding kennels in Winston. After the owners of the cottage invested in a sizeable extension to the property, David was tasked with providing a heating system which would cater for the whole property in the most efficient way possible. Seizing the opportunity to provide a renewable heating system to meet the property’s annual heating requirements. David installed two Greenskies solar thermal panels to cater for the property’s hot water demand, along with a supporting Greenstar Camray 12/18 oil-fired boiler.

“We hear people express concerns that solar technology is only for those with an eye for technology but in truth, it’s simple and cost-effective way to supply hot water to a property. At first the owner of the cottage and kennels wasn’t sure the system was for them, but having installed a number of solar system, I was able to show just how much people stand to gain by making such a worthwhile investment. I’m delighted to win this award and hope other installers across the country will embrace the renewable market the same way I have.’
