THE Edinburgh Boiler Company (EBC) has been boosted by being named as an official Octopus Energy Trusted Partner.
Octopus has given the green light to the collaboration following a vetting process as part of a new programme which starts later this month.
The energy giant is being inundated with customers reaching out for low carbon technologies and is building an affiliate network to allow the company to refer those businesses it can’t help to trusted local installers across the UK.
Verified partners must meet Octopus’ quality standards for both work and customer service.
EBC managing director Dougie Bell revealed he is delighted with the recognition and will be launching a recruitment drive in the coming weeks to meet the expected rise in demand. He explained, “Our core values align perfectly and there is no doubt this partnership bolsters our credibility across the industry. I’m confident it is going to lead to new leads, more installations and also more jobs and is going to play a key part in our next phase of growth.
“Octopus Energy is highly selective in choosing their trusted partners, with strict criteria that must be met to ensure quality and reliability. We’re proud to say that The Edinburgh Boiler Company has met those high standards, and it’s rewarding to see a company of Octopus’ stature recognise the value we bring to customers looking for renewable energy solutions.
“We’re coming together with the UK’s most innovative energy provider to deliver sustainable, energy-efficient solutions for homes across Edinburgh and beyond. Together, we’re stepping up our commitment to helping lower energy bills while contributing to a greener future.
“When two heavyweights in the renewable and energy sector come together, it’s not just a collaboration it’s a massive step in the right direction to delivering our net zero targets. We’re proud to be part of this partnership with Octopus Energy, creating a better, cleaner future for us all.”
The news of the partnership caps a successful few days for EBC, which has also secured membership to the Energy Performance Validation Scheme (EPVS). This is a certification standard designed to validate the processes used by installers of renewable energy systems. For EBC this means solar PV and battery storage systems.
“This certification validates that what we’re telling customers is true and accurate, and underlines our commitment to being the trusted local installer for Edinburgh, the Borders and central Scotland,” added Dougie Bell.
