Invictus Energy Group

Invictus Energy Group is a heating and renewable energy installer based in St Helens, Merseyside, fitting air source heat pumps, boilers, solar PV and insulation for homes across North West England.

The company was established in 2018 and works with households across the North West of England and into North Wales, with a team of around thirty engineers, insulation fitters and support staff. Alongside low-carbon heating it installs gas boilers, solar PV and battery storage, and a range of insulation measures.

They describe their approach as a whole-house one, looking first at how well a property retains heat before addressing the way it is heated and how it generates electricity. Projects typically begin with a free home energy assessment, after which the team discusses funding eligibility and installation options.

Core services

Their work covers domestic heating and wider energy efficiency measures, including:

• Air source heat pumps: take heat from the outside air and use it to warm the home through radiators or underfloor heating.
• Air-to-water heat pump installation under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
• Gas boiler installation and servicing, including Vaillant and Baxi models
• Solar PV and battery storage systems
• Loft, cavity wall, internal wall and underfloor insulation
• Free home energy assessments and surveys

Accreditations and memberships

Invictus Energy Group is MCS certified for air-to-water heat pumps through NAPIT and is registered under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. It is also a TrustMark registered business and a member of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code, which covers air source heat pumps, solar thermal, solar PV and battery storage.

Their engineers are on the Gas Safe Register for conventional heating work, and the company states that it is fully insured and backs its installations with a workmanship guarantee.

Pricing and funding

Heat pump installations are quoted per project rather than sold at a fixed price, because the cost depends on the size of the property, its heat loss and how much radiator, pipework or cylinder work is needed. A larger or poorly insulated home generally needs a bigger unit and more alteration to the existing system, which raises the price.

Grant funding often changes the figure considerably, and the company handles applications under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and the ECO scheme as well as offering monthly payment plans. Knowing the age and insulation standard of the property, and the current heating system, makes a quotation easier to judge. You can contact them for a free, no-obligation survey.
