Andrew turned to RI Cruden in 2023 to help upgrade his home with renewable energy solutions. The project aimed to reduce energy costs, improve efficiency and lower the household’s carbon footprint. With the support of our team, Andrew now enjoys a modern, sustainable energy system tailored to his needs. Andrew’s system was further enhanced with the installation of a SolarEdge Home Hot Water Controller. This allows him to divert surplus solar energy to heat water for free, reducing his reliance on external energy sources even further. The solar PV system generates clean energy, cutting electricity costs and increasing energy independence. The air source heat pump provides a sustainable alternative to traditional heating methods. The hot water diverter allows the household to maximise solar energy use, further improving cost efficiency.

“We are absolutely delighted with the installation of my solar PV, battery storage and air source heat pump systems installed by RI Cruden in 2023. The whole team have been first class, from the initial survey to the proposal of what would work best for my house. The installation team were extremely neat, tidy and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending RI Cruden to others and have already done so several times”

Andrew financed his project through the home Energy Scotland funding scheme and praised RI Cruden for their assistance;

The RI Cruden sales team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in guiding us through the application process. An excellent company to deal with – thank you!
