2) What Is Solar Thermal?

Solar thermal, also known as solar water heating, is a renewable energy system that uses the sun’s energy to heat water for domestic or commercial use. The system includes solar collectors—typically mounted on your roof—that absorb solar radiation and convert it into heat. This heat is then transferred to a hot water cylinder, supplying warm water for use in showers, taps, and even supplementing your central heating system.

It’s particularly beneficial in properties with high hot water demand or where lowering gas or electric usage is a priority. With the rising cost of utilities, installing a solar thermal system is a smart, future-proof investment.

    I had an excellent experience with Lee from Phase 1 Plumbing and Heating. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. Lee quickly diagnosed the issue with my leaking pipe and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was done efficiently and to a very high standard. He even cleaned up the area afterward, leaving everything spotless. The pricing was fair, and there were no hidden fees. I would highly recommend Phase 1 to anyone in need of plumbing services and will definitely call them again in the future!

    Lee has done a great deal of work for us when we had a large extension done on our house. He installed our underfloor heating in our downstairs area and fitted a whole new heating system as well as two new bathrooms and the plumbing for our new kitchen. Our experience is that his work is to the highest quality. He's meticulous with his attention to detail, talks you through each job, and nothing is too much trouble in order to get the best results. We can't recommend him highly enough.
