About (Direction A)
Devon’s trusted renewable heating team
We’re a local, MCS-accredited installer with a simple promise: low-carbon heating done properly, explained in plain English, with no pressure and no surprises. Our own engineers do the work — not subcontracted salespeople.

A local team that does heat pumps the right way
EcoSphere Energy started in Tiverton with a frustration we kept hearing from homeowners: renewable heating felt complicated, over-sold and badly fitted. Over 15+ years we’ve grown into one of Devon’s most trusted installers by doing the opposite — taking the time to design each system properly and treating every home like it’s our own.
The difference is in the detail. Every install begins with a proper room-by-room heat-loss survey — never a guess off the back of an envelope. That’s how we get a heat pump that actually keeps your home warm through a Devon winter and runs efficiently, rather than an over-sized unit that costs you more to run.
We’re a family, in-house operation: our own MCS-accredited engineers carry out the work, handle the grant paperwork, commission the system and look after it afterwards. Across Devon and Somerset we’ve now completed 500+ installs at a 5.0★ rating — and we’d rather earn the next one the same way.

“Ben visited on moving day to do an initial heat loss survey and advise about an air source heat pump… Ben and Jake did a fantastic job installing the pump, new cylinder, radiators throughout and all the pipework. An external MCS assessor has visited and told me the installation is top quality… I was warm and cosy all last winter… Highly recommended!”
“EcoSphere installed a system in our 1950s house… Ben was very thorough and patient in his responses to many questions about the design and installation. The result: a house that is now comfortably warm throughout the day, has lost the cold rooms at the end of long pipe runs… our energy bill has been halved when compared to the equivalent period of 2024-25!”
“The Vaillant heat-pump team referred me to Ben as one of their preferred tradesmen… installing a completely new plumbing system — air source heat pump, cylinder, radiators and new pipework. The project was completed within the allocated two weeks and the work was completed to a high standard throughout.”
