Installation

In the past few years, battery storage installations having accelerated to become a main stream solution for reducing energy costs. You can include them along with a solar system either as a Hybrid, DC coupled system, or retrofitting an AC coupled system which is separate to the solar system and can be a standalone battery solution.

The benefits of battery storage vary from application. When combined with solar panels, they will capture surplus electricity normally exported to the grid, store it and discharge it when you need it. This provides you with greater independence from the grid and maximises the benefits of having solar panels.

With both DC coupled and AC coupled systems, you can utilise energy suppliers cheaper off-peak tariffs to charge your batteries for less and discharge to power your home with off-peak energy during peak times. With solar systems this is particular beneficial in the winter months when solar production is lower due to shorter days and more intermittent weather, and with or without solar, its beneficial all year round.

Benefits

The benefits of battery storage are relatively simple to calculate. We use energy in kwh (kilowatt hours) units. If we buy all our electricity at £0.30 per kwh, 100kwh will cost £30.00. If we utilise off-peak tariffs and charge our batteries at a cost per unit of £0.07, then use it to discharge energy to our homes, 100kwh will cost £7.00 which is a big difference. This is a basic example of the principle, exact benefits will depend on circumstance – your consumption, your usage pattern and your battery storage capacity.

We can help you figure out the potential savings, so please get in touch to speak with one of our team.

Mrs Rebecca R, Cambridge

The work was carried out very quickly and efficiently, and Ben kept us informed as work progressed. He also came up with a really neat solution to a problem relating to the routing of the condenser pipe. We requested an extra job and this was carried out within the timeframe of the original project, again to a very high standard and with a very reasonable additional cost. Communication from Jon was fantastic throughout. Aftercare has also been outstanding.

Mr Roger T

Work completed with care and efficiency (roof access undertaken without cost of scaffolding). Brief return visit required to complete some making good of opening in ceiling for new boiler flue. Very pleased with product and overall service.

Mr Jamie D, Cambridge

We are very happy with the work performed by John and Ben. They responded quickly to our enquiry and provided clear quotations and advice regarding our options. The work was performed professionally, on time and to a high standard. Our boiler and new shower are working well. We will look to Pipe and Cable for plumbing and electrician work in the future.

Mrs Jacqueline W

The work was carried out when promised in a timely and professional manner. Jon was easily contactable and always returned my calls/e-mails promptly. The boiler also came with a 10 year guarantee and was competitively priced compared with other quotes we obtained. We were also kindly accommodated in a short timescale as we had no working boiler.

Mrs Aiora Z

Pipe&Cable installed a new combi boiler, thermostat and all radiators in a 2 bed house, thermostatic shower, did some electric fixes, and removed old heating devices. They did an Excellent job and finished on time, even hours before the estimated completion time. They paid good attention to detail, such as to minimise redecoration needs, it was easy to discuss options with them, gave a lot of information and also further useful ideas. The system works very well. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Mr Graham W, Great Shelford

I was in a pickle as my existing central heating boiler had been condemned. Pipe and Cable had been recommended to me and they willingly worked all day Sunday and late into the evening on other days to get my system installed in 3 days, from scratch. No messing about, no half days here and there; they got stuck in and did the job in super-quick time. They could not have been more helpful. Very friendly and polite and always conscious about cleaning up as they went along. Professional work and very competitive too, which was an additional bonus. A really great team. Highly recommended.
