Review Time
After much deliberation, we finally decided to invest in solar panels and battery storage to make our house more self sufficient, in uncertain times with energy prices going up and up. We spent several weeks researching various local independent companies as our system was not going to be a standard off the peg option due to the layout of our roof and wanting to put the array on an outbuilding but connected to the house. The reviews that we read regarding Brimstone Energy were all very positive and so we contacted Matt to visit and discuss our options and give us a quote. Matt was very professional and went through all the options (+'s and -'s) and costs. Although the Brimstone quote was not the cheapest option (or the dearest) we decided to go with them as they gave us the most detailed plan of the work needed and a breakdown of the costs involved plus a reasonable time line for installation. Once we had signed the contract we were given a firm date of installation and Matt arranged for the pre ground work (buried cables) and some of the electrical work to be completed a week prior. The installation of the panels went smoothly but we did have a problem with the battery. The battery was due to be delivered, directly from the supplier, a few days after the panels went up. Just prior to it being delivered, we were told that the company had folded that day, which was a total shock. Obviously this was beyond Brimstone Energy's fault but it did leave us in an awkward position. We asked Matt to visit and go through the options for a substitute battery of the spec that we had originally chosen, which he duly did and we were able to eventually proceed. Finally with a smallish delay, the job was completed and we are very pleased with our new system.
As a home owner when it comes to home improvements & repairs it’s always difficult trying to find companies who you can trust to give you honest advice, quotations and quality of work.How refreshing it was to meet Matt Hilton from Brimstone Energy, he did a thorough inspection of our property & discussed our needs then gave us an honest assessment of suitability for the proposed project without any pressure or false claims, it was clear that Matt cares more about his customers satisfaction than making a quick profit.Based on the advice by Matt we were able to make a decision with confidence and I would highly recommend Brimstone Energy for any energy efficiency projects, EPC surveys, Solar panels, Battery Storage, Electric Heating Systems.
We asked Matt Hilton of Brimstone Energy to come and tell us why we were no longer getting energy from our solar panels. He came a few days later, established that the inverter had finally given up, and sent us a quotation for renewing it. The amount quoted was about a sixth of the amount suggested by two cowboys who had visited earlier under false colours. We paid a deposit and Matt came not long after and fitted the replacement inverter in a couple of hours. The system now works again.We found Matt to be courteous, knowledgeable, honest, comptent and site-clean. What more could you ask for?
Brimstone (well Matt) were one of the few companies we requested quotes from that took the trouble to come and evaluate the request by visiting the property and listening to what we were looking for. They quoted us for both a heat pump to replace an old failing oil boiler and a solar panel array with battery.There were a few issues with the suppliers originally proposed but Brimstone were quick to work through those and come up with alternatives, a good sign.All the work was carried out in a very professional manner, very pleased with the result.

Brimstone did a fabulous job at recommending and fitting a solar panel system.Matt was very thoughtful and thorough from the start, always happy to answer questions and provide any information I needed. I always felt in very safe hands, and there was never any sense of sales pressure. The fitting was timely and tidy, staff all very competent and friendly, and everything was done when promised.I’m delighted with the power being generated ( even though it’s the dead of winter) and have no hesitation in recommending the Brinstone team - an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I discovered Brimstone Energy via the Powervault website, and Matt responded promptly to my inquiry and coordinated a visit to discuss our requirements. During this initial meeting, Matt demonstrated considerable expertise by identifying that the installation of a Powervault battery system would necessitate intrusive electrical work in our newly renovated utility room. He recommended an alternative GivEnergy battery solution, which met our needs and avoided unnecessary disruption. Matt supplied detailed, itemised quotations for both solutions, enabling us to make an informed decision to install the GivEnergy system. The installation was scheduled at our convenience and completed within one day, as agreed. Communication with Matt and the Brimstone team remained clear and efficient throughout the process, making it a positive experience. We have found Matt and the Brimstone team to consistently uphold their values of trust, integrity, and quality, and we would recommend their services to anyone seeking a dependable provider of sustainable energy solutions.
