Consider solar in the context of your home.
Solar makes most sense with a clear view of the property and its electricity use. Roof space, shading, household routines and planned heating or cooling changes all deserve attention.
HeatMason offers solar as a supporting home-energy service in North London. Amir leads the assessment and design, working with Joe, a long-standing installation colleague, and the specialists required for the project.

Connect the decisions
A solar proposal should explain its contribution to the home. We consider present electricity use and planned equipment, including heat pumps and air-conditioning where relevant.
- Solar considered within a wider home-energy plan.
- Review of the property's installation constraints.
- Coordination with proposed heating and cooling changes.
- Clear definition of the equipment and work within the agreed project.
Start with the roof and the demand
The assessment considers roof orientation, shading, usable space, access and the route for equipment and cabling. The roof's condition and any specialist assessment needed must also be addressed. Electricity-use information helps put the potential installation in context.
Share planned roof or heating work early, so the decisions and installation can be coordinated.
Make the financial case specific
Generation and electricity demand vary through the day and across the year. The value of a proposed system depends on its output, how much electricity the household can use and the applicable energy arrangements. Installation costs and any necessary related work also belong in the comparison.
A useful proposal makes its assumptions visible. Fixed savings or payback periods should not be assumed before the property, system and household use have been assessed.
Establish suitability and responsibilities
Send an outline of the property, your electricity use and any planned home improvements. Amir reviews the enquiry and identifies the next assessment. If a paid survey is proposed, the fee and scope are agreed before booking.
The written proposal should define the recommended installation, relevant permissions or approvals, and the parties responsible for the work and handover. Amir leads the design and installation oversight, followed by commissioning and customer handover.
Questions worth asking.
Can solar be considered with a heat pump?
Yes. We can assess both within the home-energy plan, considering their performance and the household’s electricity use.
Will any roof be suitable?
No. Shading, orientation, condition, available space, access and property-specific restrictions can affect suitability. The proposed installation needs a site assessment.
Can you tell me the payback before a survey?
A meaningful estimate needs a proposed system, installation cost and stated assumptions about generation and electricity use. Those details cannot be established from roof size alone.
Do I need to change my heating as well?
The scope should follow your objectives and the property's needs. Tell us about any planned heating changes so we can assess the relationship without adding unnecessary work.
Keep exploring.
