What our members say

Finding you guys was a godsend. It was good to have impartial and independent advice. We had some surveys and quotes done before that didn’t inspire us with confidence, but you guys did exactly what we were looking for.

5/5

Working from home and being here most of the day, I’d got used to it being really cold, but now it’s just a constant pleasant temperature.

5/5

Our new heat pump, PV panels, and enhanced insulation have completely transformed our quality of life at home. We stay cosy throughout winter with the thermostat set to just 17 degree C. We’re glad to see the back of our aging gas boiler - the heat pump does a better job, with much lower carbon emissions.

5/5

I think if anybody was thinking about going to Cosy Homes Oxfordshire and talking to them about doing the whole house plan, I would absolutely say go for it. I’m not sure we could have done this without them.

5/5

I have had my heat pump for just a year now and am very pleased with it. My home is well insulated and I have solar panels, so I removed the gas meter (saving 150 pound on the standing charge). By using a solar battery and off peak overnight electricity my energy bills have dropped by half - now about 800 pound for a 4 bedroom detached with people in all day.

5/5

Working with your home better has greatly improved our business’s processing efficiency. Their expertise has streamlined our operations, reduced costs, and allowed us to focus on delivering better results to our customers.
