OUR STORY
Positive Impact, Negative Carbon
A little known fact about Suffolk is that almost a third of properties are off-grid for gas. This is almost double the national average and equates to around 92,000 homes. Expensive and inefficient oil, LPG and direct electric heating systems currently heat the majority of these homes.
Renew East Ltd was born with the aim to have a positive effect on the environment and make sustainability accessible to all. Through our passion towards the environment and renewables, we want to help homeowners in Suffolk to transition away from fossil fuels by installing renewable heating in your home.
We aim to simplify the process of installing an air source heat pump in your home, whilst providing exceptional and innovative service to our customers.
We operate throughout the whole of Suffolk installing heat pumps in locations including Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket, Eye, Diss, Framlingham, Woodbridge and everywhere in between.
As MCS accredited installers, our customers can now claim the new £5000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant. Find out more here
