We all want our homes to feel warm, welcoming, and safe - especially when the nights draw in and bills start to rise. Across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, many families are already making changes that give them peace of mind about both comfort and reduced energy bills this winter.


Why take action now?


When the cold weather sets in, it’s natural to worry about how much energy we’ll use - and what it might cost. None of us can control global gas or oil prices, but we can take small steps that make a big difference at home.


With a system designed by Your Energy Your Way, your house doesn’t just keep you cosy - it can also become a powerhouse of its own. Solar panels, a home battery, and an air source heat pump work together to provide affordable heat and electricity right where you need it.


It’s not about chasing the latest tech - it’s about creating a home that feels secure, efficient, and future-proof, no matter what’s happening in the wider world.

What Do Solar Panels and Heat Pumps Cost in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire?


We know this isn’t a small decision, and we’re always upfront about the investment involved. The good news is there’s support available to make it easier:

  • A smaller solar panel system (enough for about 30% of your electricity) starts around £7,500.

  • With the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), air source heat pumps can cost from £10,000.

  • And at the moment, these installations are VAT-free.


For many people, this is a way to use savings, an inheritance, or a pension pot to bring long-term stability. It means keeping bills low in the years ahead, when having predictable costs can make all the difference.

FAQs About Solar Panels and Heat Pumps


Are solar panels and heat pumps really worth the investment?

Yes. While the upfront cost can feel significant, solar panels and heat pumps are designed to reduce your reliance on expensive gas and grid electricity. That means greater energy independence, lower bills over time, and a more comfortable home.


Can I get help with the cost of a heat pump?

Yes. The government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides a grant towards the cost of a heat pump. We handle the application on your behalf and deduct the grant directly from your installation price — so there’s no extra paperwork for you.


Will my home still stay warm in winter with a heat pump?

Absolutely. Modern air source heat pumps are designed to work efficiently even on the coldest days. With the right system design and radiators sized for your rooms, you can expect reliable warmth and comfort all winter long.


What if I don’t have a south-facing roof for solar panels?

A south-facing roof is ideal, but not essential. Solar panels can also be installed on east- or west-facing roofs and still deliver excellent results. We’ll assess your home and give you honest advice on what’s possible.


Do you only install in Surrey?

We regularly install solar panels and heat pumps across Surrey, Hampshire,Berkshire, West London and surrounding counties. If you live nearby and are unsure, just get in touch and we’ll let you know if we cover your area.
