FEC Renewables Avis 40

We had an outstanding experience with FEC Renewables Ltd. Although they’re based in Rotherham, they came out to assess and install our system at our home near Newark-on-Trent, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish.

Mark Alexander in sales provided clear, comprehensive explanations right from the beginning, taking the time to ensure we fully understood the system and our options. The whole project was then carefully planned and organised by the owner, Oliver French, who was equally personable and generous with his time and advice.

Our installation involved a fair amount of paperwork, including obtaining a DNO certificate, but Jackie and Elise were always available to explain each stage and kept us fully informed as everything progressed. Nothing ever felt rushed, and any questions we had were answered promptly and clearly.

Overall, this is a very impressive and cohesive team who clearly take pride in both their workmanship and their customer service. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FEC Renewables Ltd to anyone considering solar installation.

For our system, we chose the EcoFlow Power Ocean setup with two 5 kW batteries, a 6 kW inverter, and 22 × 455 W panels. Oliver managed to fit two additional panels for us, bringing the total system size to approximately 11 kW. We understand the inverter can handle up to 13 kW, and the batteries are stackable, with the option to add two more in the future should we decide to expand.

The whole project came in on time and on budget at £11,655. As this was clearly a major investment, the payback period was very important to us. The OpenSolar prediction estimated a 5-year payback. However, after running the system for nearly a year and reviewing our actual performance data, my own calculations suggest it is likely to be closer to 4.5 years — which is even better than expected.

A sincere thank you to Oliver and the whole team at FEC Renewables for such a positive experience from start to finish.

Deciding to have solar panels we had a couple of quotes for comparison and pleased to say FEC Renewables proved to be the one we choose, efficient and reliable installation of the equipment on the day . We experience helpful and positive assistance from Oliver with the paperwork and warranty .

Had a solar and battery system installed. Quite a complex job for a variety of reasons but got excellent advice and support through the quotation process. Decided to go with FEC and the project went really well installed in December, we are up and running and very happy with the after sales support we received too.

FEC installed solar and battery to our house in September 2023 and we were so impressed with their professionalism and workmanship we got them back in January 2024 to install a heat pump too.

They were great throughout the whole process and Oliver and his team were lovely lads.

We got our EPC redone and got an A rating. For a house built in 1960 we didn't think it was possible, even the surveyor was surprised.

We're moving home soon and if/when we decide to install solar and a heat pump at the new home we will 100% be using these guys again.

From initial enquiry to installation and then post sales aftercare FEC have been there with me.

The plunge into solar led to wide ranging quotations from a number of suppliers but FEC were the only ones to arrange a call to scope out what I was looking for and arrange an in person visit from Oliver.

Oliver came when he said he would and looked at all the options with me; discussing different equipment options and prices; and answered any queries I had.

Jackie and the back office team then took care of all the paperwork which given some oversight of a previous EV Installer was more complicated than should have been but the team were great keeping me informed and gained the approvals necessary; and even came back to me when a new variant was released just a week or so before my install to see if I wanted to swap or stick as was. They also allowed me to add an EV charger to the system without any issue. & amended the paperwork after realising a mistake I’d made when ordering which given the volume that’s generated due to the certifications was appreciated

Morning of the install and the electrician was here bright and early to verify nothing had changed and then go for the parts needed; then the rest of the team arrived and set to with the works required.

All done in one day, rubbish taken away, Oliver visited whilst the team were here and checked everything was going to plan.

A great installation and currently discussing an expansion to the battery system and FEC are on my list when the boiler plays up to look at swapping to an Heat Pump & maybe some localised Solar on a separate building.

I've just had a heat pump installed by FEC. The process from initial visit and heat loss calculation to install and commissioning all took just over a month so super quick. Jason was so helpful and professional.....also the install team of 2 plumbers and 2 electricians worked as a great team and were very neat and tidy

FEC renewable installed a Solar PV array including battery storage at my house in Harrogate in 2023. This was an installation using the GSE in roof system on a new extension at the property. The whole process was well managed and everything promised was completed on time and in a professional manner.
My system generated 5000 kW Hrs of power in 2024. Even with electric car charging and water heating we exported surplus power using Octopus energy and so far this year my account is £200 in credit. So I get free electricity, car charging, water heating and a bit of profit on top. It is a brilliant system. Great for the environment and my bank balance.
I would strongly recommend FEC to anyone considering a solar PV installation.

Had FEC renewables out today small problem with my solar panels one of the wires had come apart the electrician fixed in ten minutes then checked the whole circuit out brilliant highly recommend

It's always a worry, undertaking a large project with a supplier you've never encountered before, but I can't fault FEC Renewables. We had 12 solar panels, a battery, an EV charger, and an air source heat pump installed, and we're really happy with the result. In particular, I was pleased with how quickly the work was carried out. I made enquiries at the beginning of March and everything was done within 3 months. All the technicians were polite and efficient and Jackie in the office was a pleasure to deal with - always available, and always pleased to help. If you want a well-priced, no-fuss renewables installation, then I would definitely recommend FEC Renewables.

FEC have been a great firm to deal with. We were unhappy with the proposals from first company we approached about a heat pump installation – it seemed that firm had a limited set of options and just couldn’t meet our needs. We’d almost given up but decided to try one more time. FEC were very helpful, had a larger range of options and equipment and their price was competitive. Installation went smoothly over four days. The heat pump is unobtrusive and very quiet.

Their workers were all pleasant and efficient; minor niggles were promptly sorted and we’re very happy with the new system. I’d definitely recommend asking them to quote for your plans.

FEC Renewables recently installed 5 air source heat pumps across my flats, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.

Communication was clear throughout, and any questions I had were answered promptly. The installation was completed to a high standard with minimal disruption to the tenants, and the team made sure everything was working perfectly before they left.

A special thank you to Oliver, who went above and beyond to ensure the project ran smoothly from start to finish. His support, advice, and attention to detail made a real difference.

It’s clear that FEC Renewables take pride in their work and genuinely care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a renewable heating solution. A top-class company!

I was a bit reluctant to go with FEC for this work initially as there weren't many reviews and I thought the price may be a bit too good to be true. Very glad we did, the work was completed exactly as promised and the team of Tom & Paul were really helpful and tidy.

Advice and changes to the system pre-installation were really helpful. There was a bit of a mix up around the initial sales visit and EPC certificates, but all sorted with no further issues.

tom came and gave my heat pump a service he did a great job was clean tidy and pleasent
thanks derrick shawcroft

We've had our solar panels fitted 2022 and are still awaiting completion of documentation.
After all this time we've still haven't been able to claim any money back for electrical system feed into mains, due to not having received the required documentation.

Had solar panels fitted plus eV charger, from the beginning Craig came to give us the quote and explained what package was best for us, not once did he put us under any pressure, everything he quoted was spot on with no hidden extras, even to the time the scaffolders would arrive to the solar panels installers to the electricians all arrived at the time promised by Craig, plus these guys are a credit to the company, worked hard all day and left our house clean, would recommend to anyone who is thinking of having solar panelling or ev chargers fitted, a very good family business with very good customer service, thank you once again

FEC Renewables fitted the air source system in November at my 5 bed detached, I would spilt the process into three segments, general communications, fitting & support, general usage.
Communication was OK, sales contact was fair, the process of house assessment was good, there was a grey area from original quotation to actual invoice, some poor communication in that area but this was over seen by the excellent fitting team (Tom and his Dad) so thorough, neat in tidy great workmanship and supporting advise as they went along. This made the difference, I didn’t mind paying that extra because of that, be aware your house is consistently warmer but it’s cost you in electric, (next project is Solar) Oliver the business owner was always on hand if needed

Great set of guys that want the best outcome for you as the customer, done a lovely neat install both on the roof and in the garage, Price was inline with others but the service and support seems much better, overall very pleased with Oliver and the Team and would highly recommend.

Had 12 solar panels, battery storage, EV charger and an I-Boost fitted on our home. We had several quotes and FEC were competitive priced, polite and very professional. The installation is of high quality and works exceptionally. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great fast and smooth service. All guys started the work on time, scaffold came first, installed fast without any damages to the property. All panels were installed in the pouring rain - hats off to the guys doing that job. Battery and inverter installed also smoothly. Nice neat and tidy job. Electrician dealing with it very knowledgeable, answered all the questions I had. So far highly recommend team and overall the company.

I recently got solar system installed. The staff was great from start to finish.
