Services
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps extract ambient heat from external air to power radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water systems. Our Daikin-certified engineers ensure efficient installations compliant with UK renewable standards. Ideal for reducing carbon footprints, these systems operate effectively even at -15C, offering sustainable heating solutions for residential and commercial properties.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps utilise underground pipe loops to harvest consistent geothermal energy for whole-property heating. Our installations include horizontal trench systems and vertical boreholes, tailored to site constraints. These low-maintenance systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels while providing year-round efficiency through renewable ground energy.
Solar Thermal Hot Water
Solar thermal systems convert sunlight into domestic hot water via roof-mounted collectors. Our installations integrate with existing boilers or immersion heaters, achieving up to 90% summer efficiency. This environmentally friendly solution lowers energy bills and carbon emissions while requiring minimal maintenance.
Electrical Installations
Our NAPIT-registered electricians handle complete electrical installations for residential and commercial properties. From wiring to compliance testing, we ensure safety and efficiency across all projects. Regular inspections and adherence to industry standards guarantee long-term reliability for both new builds and retrofitting.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating systems distribute consistent warmth through low-temperature water pipes beneath floors. We integrate these with high-efficiency boilers and renewable energy sources for optimal performance. Space-saving and energy-efficient, this solution enhances comfort while reducing running costs for modern properties.

Otter South West removed our Oil fired boiler and replaced it with a state of the art Air Source Heat Pump. The Team were polite, courteous and tidy throughout the installation. The work involved replacing all the pipework and installation of the new equipment, all while I was working from home. I would recommend Otter South West to anyone looking for a professional company to carry out their plumbing needs.

Made a technical error when installing 10 boilers which resulted in various faults and lost money to each of the 10 owners. Would note accept responsibility or settle a small claim for compensation. Would not recommend.
