Our Services
MacBrookGas delivers the full range of what are called ‘retrofit’ services. We use a ‘whole house’ approach to look at how your property can be better insulated and more efficiently heated.
We design systems and retrofit programmes that are tailored to each individual property, making sure that we provide the best blend of preventative measures (for example loft insulation) and new technology (eg: air source heat pumps).
Our aim is to make your property more energy efficient and to save you money on running costs.
Our services
Cavity Wall Insulation
The installation of cavity wall insulation is defined as ‘notifiable work’ in the Building Regulations, so we provide all the support you’ll need to submit an application. If appropriate we are able to self-certify the installation because our KIWA certification designates us as a ‘competent person’. We use materials, equipment and methods that carry the industry leading BBA identification mark and certificate number and our installers all carry BBA identification and are trained to carry out works that will achieve the appropriate maximum thermal value for your property. We provide a 2-year Insurance Backed Guarantee for each property under the Quality Mark Protection scheme.
Loft Insulation
Our installation teams undertake all essential pre-installation checks to ensure compliance with current industry standards (PAS 2035). We usually combine loft insulation with draught proofing and our surveyors will identify problem areas and recommend the right type of draught proofing solutions such as weatherbars under internal and external doors, brushes, draught strips and flexible seals. We provide a 2-year Insurance Backed Guarantee for each property under the Quality Mark Protection scheme.
Air source heat pumps (ASHP)
All our ASHP installations meet the requirements of the Microgeneration Installation Standard MIS 30056, providing you with the assurance that our equipment meets high standards of performance and that our Engineers are experts in this rapidly developing technology. We follow industry best practice, including resilient connectivity to existing radiator networks and/or underfloor heating systems and we ensure that your existing hot water system is compatible with the temperature output of an ASHP. Where necessary we can provide additional heating with an electric immersion heater.
Boilers and heating systems
We began as a company installing new and replacement boiler systems and we continue to offer this service today. Our significant buying power means that we can offer some of the best prices around and our extensive experience covers a wide range of domestic heating systems. As Gas Safe registered engineers we meets the highest technical standards and have a comprehensive understanding of how to select and install the most appropriate control systems.
Heat pump servicing
Our qualified and experienced engineers are able to undertake the servicing and repair of heat pumps. As technology evolves and new systems are introduced you can rely on us to be able to keep your heat pump system running at peak efficiency.
Solar PV systems
Our SolarPV team will undertake an initial survey of your property including what is known as a ‘shading analysis’ to establish the amount of solar radiation entering your property and its potential effect on indoor comfort and energy use. Our designers then manage the system design and installation process, right through to commissioning the system and advising you on how to maximise its benefits (including potential battery storage and relevant energy management strategies). We can also advise whether a thermal system is an appropriate solution for your property.
