Josephine's Journey to leaving oil behind with an air source heat pump
“No more arranging an oil tank refill, no more dirty fuel being unloaded.”
🏠 The Challenge:
Oil heating had always been a frustration for Josephine and her husband — messy deliveries, unpredictable pricing, and a system that offered no resilience against the regular power cuts their area experienced. Having already expanded their solar setup with Greenscape, adding an ASHP was the natural final step in leaving fossil fuels behind entirely.
🚀 The Solution:
A Greenscape ASHP was installed in June, with almost all radiators upgraded across the property. Two Tesla Powerwalls ensure the home can manage peak demand — running the oven and charging two EVs simultaneously is far more manageable with 10kWh of storage than it was with one. When thermostat issues emerged before the two-year warranty expired, Greenscape replaced every unit and refunded the cost in full. Out-of-hours support was also on hand when a bedroom leak needed urgent attention.
🔋 The Results:
Despite powering a full ASHP and two electric vehicles, the household's Octopus account stood £500 in credit as winter 2024 approached. The ASHP costs more to service than a gas boiler, but is considerably cheaper to run — and free from the price volatility that made oil such an unreliable way to heat a home.
💡 Josephine’s Advice:
Go for it — I would not hesitate. Better return than an ISA or savings plan.
Great technical support from a most personable Callum.

My email was answered by Chloe Hickman who made the adjustment I requested by return. Thank you Chloe, well done. Keep up the good work.

Had my Air Con installed today.. Could not fault the two installers who attended. . Arrived nice and early, took a look around outside and indoors no hesitation in starting work and confirming where I wanted the appliance. Shoes off each time they entered house and completed the tidy up after themselves. Remote and operation of A/C explained to me.. Good work, keep it up.

I've just had solar panels, battery and EV charger installed by Mark and Luke. They arrived a little early, did the job as quietly as possible with no fuss, and have finished much earlier than I'd expected. Mark then explained what's what, which I think I'll remember. Couldn't expect more.
Scaffolding subcontractor was similarly efficient putting the scaffolding up.
The back office and survey staff have been friendly and efficient too. It has been good to be able to visit the showroom office in Ipswich.

After leaving a message and emailing w/b 5 Oct 26, I telephoned again at the end of that week and spoke with Callum Wrigley in the tech dept. He listened to my concern, was very understanding and dealt with the problem I had efficiently and to my satisfaction. Thank you Callum

Michaela, dealt with my finance query in a professional, efficient manner, and placated my fears that the progress on my solar system would be paused until the return of the surveyor from holiday. Good customer care. Thank you

I have been very impressed with the service I received from Greenscape. The initial survey was very professionally done by Andrew and I was pleased that he convinced me not to have more panels than necessary. The team that installed the battery and inverter were excellent and very pleasant to deal with. The system is up and running and there have been no complications. I thoroughly recommend Greenscape.

I arranged to have solar panels and a battery installed by Greenscape via OVO Energy. From start to finish, the service has been excellent. From the survey, to the panel installation and battery installation, every team member has been professional and very friendly. The after sales have kept in contact to make sure everything has gone smoothly. Couldn't fault Greenscape.
