John Wood Plumbing, Heating & Renewables is a Scarborough-based, MCS-registered heating company specializing in energy-efficient boiler and Air Source Heat Pump installations. As certified Heat Geek Mastery graduates, they combine traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide tailored, future-proof solutions that lower both carbon footprints and energy bills.

I can highly recommend John after hearing his technical insights on the BetaTeach podcast and consistently following his top-tier installation work on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Octopus work well for a lot of homes because the process is structured, the pricing is competitive and they publish real-world performance data. If your property is unusual or needs a more tailored design, look closely at how the system is specified before committing.

Heat Geek feels like a strong fit for homeowners who want a more design-led heat pump route, especially where the installer’s knowledge, survey process and final design matter as much as the brand of heat pump. What stood out from my interview with Aadil was the combination of trained local engineers, room-by-room design, peer review, homeowner choice around disruption and performance, plus Heat Geek acting as a backstop if things do not go to plan.
