Welcome to the forum.

It would help if you gave an idea of what part of the country you are in, as the installers don't all give national coverage.

Cheers, Im in south east, SL£

Any recommendations for companies that will do both a heat pump and panels on eco4?

You could start by contacting your energy supplier.

If they're on this list, you'll see their contact details.

Im with Octopus, they only do heat pumps, although I am sure it showed solar as part of eco4 on the website, perhaps an old page.

I'm not sure how the work/funding is divvied up. My installation was funded by EDF, although I'd never been a customer of  theirs.

Were you happy with the them overall?

Very happy. I got both solar and a heat pump, all fitted in two days. I'm in Mid-Wales, so I doubt the Cardiff based installers would be much use to you.

No, but good to know that edf arranged both and were competent in doing so.

Hi

New to this and have just started reading through. 

Any recommendations for companies that will do both a heat pump and panels on eco4?

Or any other threads/websites recommendations to read through. 

Thanks in advance. 

Most companies that run ECO4 installs do not do the work themselves, but rather coordinate the administration and subcontract out the individual elements of work. Switch Energy did our ECO4 install (not a recommendation), and subcontracted out the ASHP, insulation and solar installation to 3 separate subcontractors. Overall we were happy with the work carried out and the process. They appear to operate nationally, and you can research / read reviews online below:

Cheers, had a look on the webpage but it is no longer showing heat pump as part of their eco4 offerings. Will get in touch to confirm.

Octopus list solar on their webpage here, at least for all-electric properties.

I am waiting for a callback from them to confirm.
