fitted first woodstove in 1973, still have the first one, regretfully no longer made, main heating from a self designed,wood stove now made for me I have to confess its brill, stays alight for up to 24hrs,. but sell many leading brands, fitted solar thermal to my house in 1983, now relaced in 2007, with kit we sell and install, fitted solar voltaic, in 2010, waiting for my inverta to arrive, so cant tell much about it yet , But I will !!!, Rain water havesting since 1989, use on garden and in ground floor toilet , but may extend this year to one washing machine, That washes dust sheets,as I have two,machines

worked in renewable energy since 1973,. yes thats over thirty years,enjoy the countryside,

Without a doubt , the idea that useasonsed wood can be burnt is one of the biggest, problems in our industry, that and the huge amount of Cowboy solar thermal installers salesmen first time closers, that abound,we just fitted an evac tube system where the owner was quoted £8,500, Then after super discounts, grants, signs in the garden, Phone calls to the manager, ect came down to £6.200, we installed with a geunine local grant, the entire system for £2,700, with MCS certification ready to apply for F.I.T.S., as two years ago we had fitted a twin coil solar cylinder made by OSSA That the sharp salesmen said need to be replaced !!
