After attending our complimentary heat pump training course, Mitchell and Bond Plumbing and Heating joined Alto Energy as Assured Partner Installers in December 2023. Since then, they’ve installed several Worcester Bosch heat pumps, with Alto providing all MCS design, supply, commissioning, and paperwork support. We recently caught up with the team to learn more about their experience working with us.
Chris from Whitby Gas and Oil Services became an Alto Assured Partner Installer in late 2022, following the completion of our free heat pump training course.

We recently caught up with Chris to learn more about his experience working with us.

Originally, we were working on 2 houses and had already paid for the heat pumps and cylinders from a manufacturer. At the time, the manufacturer was having supply issues. In the end, we pulled out of the order because one of the houses had been sold and we were worried that the owners would be left with no heating system. We then found Alto Energy, who had stock available, so we ordered the heat pumps through them. The whole process was very good.
Taking environmental considerations seriously, Wellies Day Nursery displayed a strong commitment to the environment while renovating their barn into a modern preschool. During a conversation with Helen Hobbs, the Managing Director of the Nursery, she highlighted that factors such as escalating fuel expenses, a focus on sustainability, and the desire to minimise the preschool's carbon footprint were significant drivers behind their decision to opt for an air source heat pump.
Heating engineer, Mr Peacock, installed an air source heat pump for his own property as he wanted to reduce his bills and use a greener source of energy. He formerly had a 600 litre oil tank which used to cost him approximately £1,500 to fill annually. With rising oil prices, he was worried about the future cost of running the system and therefore decided to make the change.
Mr & Mrs Guest had recently moved into a property with old, inefficient storage heaters and an immersion tank. The property was bought as a project and one of the first things the couple wanted to do was to remove the old system and replace it with an efficient, eco-friendly alternative. After deciding on a heat pump, the couple contacted Alto Energy for a quote.
Miss H lives with her daughter and little dog Olly in a 2 bed semi-detached house near Winchester. Her home used to always be cold with the only form of heating being an old electric storage heater.
After speaking with one of the Warmer Homes supply chain partners Aura Gas, Miss H realised that she was eligible for a fully funded air source heat pump due to the EPC rating of her property and income levels.
Mr Bleasdale’s aim to “provide a new dwelling with minimum fuel bills and good EPC rating” resulted in him looking towards an air source heat pump for his new build project. Alto Energy were recommended through his plumber, Eclipse Plumbing. Not only that, but he is also aware of “gas & fossil fuels being phased out in 2025 and wanted to future proof” his property.
“Ditch gas for a cleaner energy”. That was the plan for one of Alto Energy’s recommended installation partners, Craig Cutler, who did just that by installing a heat pump in his own home. Craig replaced a gas combi boiler with the new Worcester Bosch Compress air source heat pump, distributed via radiators throughout the whole house. He is now saving around £45 per month on fuel bills.
With a desire to reduce his carbon output, Mr Hardie decided to retrofit an air source heat pump into his existing property to replace his fossil fuel gas boiler, enabling him to do exactly what he set out to. In fact, Mr Hardie can expect to make CO2 savings of 5.1 tonnes per year. This is 75% fewer emissions than his old fossil fuel gas boiler.
Mr Prothero had installed air source heat pumps on various projects before. Now venturing on a barn conversion for his own project, he decided to go down the ground source heat pump route. With a project to heat the barn conversion efficiently and cost effectively; to reduce his carbon footprint; and with land available for the outside pipework, a ground source heat pump made perfect sense.
Mrs Hewitt from Cheshire had an aim to incorporate a renewable technology heating system to her new build property in Cheshire. She achieved that by installing an 8.5kW Mitsubishi Ultra Quiet Ecodan, motivated by rising fuel prices and carbon reduction as her main reasons to install the air source heat pump system.
John and Anya from Suffolk decided to invest in the Mitsubishi Ultra Quiet Ecodan Air Source Heat pump for their Barn Conversion project. At first, they were slightly sceptical of the technology, however with a little helping hand from Alto Energy their minds changed and they will now benefit from a renewable heating source.
