Thanks so very much for the wonderful work has been done to my house blue build energy fantastic people from office to work men and big thanks to David for all his hard work regards Richard gill
Exceptional quality. Let me tell you how we found out about Blue Build (it certainly wasn't the usual way... thanks, or should I say no thanks, to my wife Anne). We have a south-facing roof at the back of our house, and we always thought that we should get solar, being south-facing, but were always put off by the cost (this was about 10 yrs ago). Then about 2 yrs ago, my wife, who is a keen ukulele player, happened to be out at her weekly band practice when she was talking to a friend about solar energy. This friend said to her that she had it and she had got a local firm that did it. She was a teacher and had taught the guy that sold it to her. Anyway, my wife came home and told me about this friend having solar and all the benefits of making money from the extra energy going back to the grid. I asked her who the installers and she said, "I don't remember, but it had a colour in it's name, and this lady had taught the owner" I replied, "Was it Blue Build?" and she enthusiastically replied, "Yes, that's the company. So we headed off to find Blue Build, who had moved from Balloo Industrial Estate to Quarry Heights, Newtownards. We spoke to a young guy who was very helpful, and he asked me who had recommended them to us, and I went into this story about a teacher who had possibly taught him, and that wife couldn't remember the installers other than a colour in their name. He looked a bit puzzled but came out to our house in Bangor within an hour to do a survey, and because they had been 13 yrs in business, gave us a quote for 13 solar panels, an inverter and a Duracell Battery. It was much cheaper than we had been quoted some 10 yrs previous (obviously technology had moved on and things where now much cheaper). They came and did a fantasic job, really neat and tidy and in the first year we received nearly £500 from Power NI because of the surplus going back to the grid. Also our electricity bills dropped from about £150 -£200 a quarter to about £50 for a 2000 sq ft house with 3 reception rooms and 4 bedrooms, kitchen and utility room and a double garage. Now here is the bit in the story that always gets me. I happened to be at one my wifes Ukelel gigs and I got talking to my wifes friends husband who had supposely recommended Blue Build. I said, "Thanks to your wife we got Blue Build to install our Solar sytem and they were fabulous from the price to the installation.....it was fabulous, so thanks for recommending them to us" He looked puzzled and said, " We didn't get Blue Build to install our Solar System". "What?" I said, "you didn't?" but my wife said there was a colour in the name, and he laughed and said, "No, there was no colour in the name". I just couldn't believe it my wife had made that mistake about the colour in the name, but in saying that, I am delighted we went with Blue Build as they are so, so helpful and nothing is a bother to them, and we have a fantastic system that saves us money every single day and it works without doing anything to it. I recently bought an EV car and am using the solar to help charge the car. The other night I charged the car from 2% to 78% for about £9, and that gives me about 270 miles. I would thoroughly recommend Blue Build for Solar Installation; they are absolutely brilliant
We decided we wanted to get a solar system for the house. So first things first did a bit of research online on local solar companies I had three different companies give me a quote. One of these companies was Bluebuild. First I had a call from a lovely guy called Ian Millar he came to have a look round my property then he sent me through a full layout of what would take place should I go with them. After speaking to the other two companies I found Ian to make the most sense plus I wanted to go with panels on the front and back of the house but Ian insisted that I ONLY needed 12 on the front. This in its self proved that they weren’t money grabbers they told you the truth this is VERY hard to get in this day and age. Anyway I decided that bluebuild was the guys to go with and I’m so glad I did … what a genuine top company I would have given them ten stars… from the guys with the scaffolding arrived to the full install was carried out all totally professional people and all nice guys to boot. Saving on my electric already…I am a very sceptical person and find it hard to trust anyone honestly if your thinking about going down the solar route please don’t go anywhere else this company has to be the best in the six counties. Thanks again Bluebuild👍👍😃👍👍
Bluebuild Energy recently insulated my house and upgraded my heating system. I would highly recommend Jason and his team. They were so efficient and professional. 5 stars from me.
From the very beginning, we have had excellent communication with Bluebuild. Vassily and his team are very hard workers and Fionn did a great job in the attic. Jason ensured that everything was reinstated perfectly. We are delighted with the job....... Michael and Jenny, Co. Wicklow
From start to finish,the team were all excellent. All work done was completed to a really high standard. Jason went above and beyond in ensuring that the work was done quickly and professionally. I cannot recommend Bluebird enough.
Just had Bluebuild install a new solar PV and Battery system at our home on North Coast. The process was fantastic from start to finish. Competitive pricing, simple admin and speedy installation. 16 panels over two adjacent roof sections with 2 Dyness 5Kw batteries and a Solis Inverter. Everything is up and running, I’m looking forward to the spring to see it at its full potential. Would definitely recommend Bluebuild Energy Ltd. I had received quotes from a number of companies before settling on Bluebuild who were the most competitive and research recommended them as one of the most experienced and longest established.
We had our attic insulated by Bluebuild and we found all of the team very professional and easy to communicate with.
A great job done by the lads from Bluebuild Ballymount. Got external insulation done. From the time Tony (project manager)measured up to the lads cleaning up, it was a professional job all the way. I'd recommend Bluebuild without hesitation. Nigel Dun Laoghaire
I recently had Blue Build fit 15 solar panels on my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and efficient. They explained everything clearly, kept the site tidy, and completed the job on time with no hassle. The panels look great, are performing brilliantly, and the workmanship is top quality. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that takes real pride in their work. I’d highly recommend Blue Build to anyone considering solar — fantastic service from a great team! 🌞🔋
Very easy process from start to finish. Great price and professional staff throughout. All installed in one day. Can ask for any more than that.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Bluebuild Energy (Newtownards) for the recent installation of solar panels and a Duracell solar battery at my home. From initial inquiry to final installation, the entire process was exceptionally smooth, professional, and efficient. My decision to install solar panels came after many conversations with a relative and several friends. I chose Bluebuild based on their strong local reputation, their history as a trusted employer in the area, and most importantly after speaking with Samantha, their Sales and Installation Manager. Samantha inspired great confidence in both the product and the company. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and clear explanations made it easy to understand the benefits of the system. She personally carried out a site survey and offered helpful advice on the best positioning of the panels to ensure maximum efficiency. One of the installers also conducted a separate survey to confirm everything. Once we agreed on the panel placement and installation date, everything happened like clockwork. Scaffolding was erected the day before, and on the day of installation, both the solar panel team and electricians arrived promptly. The full installation was completed within a single day. I would particularly like to commend all the staff I had the pleasure of dealing with, they were courteous, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure I was completely satisfied. The workmanship was of a very high standard, and they took great care of my property throughout. The site was left spotless, with everything tidied up on completion. So thank you to everyone involved, those who erected the scaffolding, the two electricians, and the two solar panel installers. Each of them clearly took pride in their work. Aside from the product and installation, I found the company very easy to deal with. Juvena was always extremely helpful and made sure that any messages or concerns I had were passed on to Samantha promptly. Communication is vital when delivering good customer service, and Bluebuild excelled in this area. I was even offered assistance with completing building control forms and received follow-up calls to check on my satisfaction and gather feedback. Based on my experience, I would be very happy to recommend Bluebuild Energy and their fantastic team.
I was quoted £1600 for loft insulation by another company so decided to get Bluebuild round for a second opinion. Although I didn’t require their services in the end, I received some great advice about different insulation methods and the fact that my loft only required a 200mm top up with 5 rolls being needed. I have been online and can get each roll for £25. So thank you Bluebuild for your honesty and knowledge, you have saved me £1,475. I would recommend them on that basis alone.
We got quotes from a number of solar installation companies in NI and Bluebuild were not only among the cheapest but were very flexible in their approach, giving us the system and components that best suited our requirements. As someone with an engineering background I was especially impressed by their thorough design approach, attention to detail in answering my questions and their good quality documentation. The installation itself went smoothly in a single day, and a minor issue was quickly resolved on a return visit. I would definitely recommend Bluebuild Energy.
Thank you so much for a very good efficient service. Also would like to say, the young technician who came to our house, was ever so nice, so helpful and did not rush us, explaining everything very clearly ..... he was just lovely 🙂 So thanking you very much, would highly recommend using 'Bluebuild Energy' again and would recommend to all my family and friends.
Luke David Luke and Ryan were brilliant workers...professional and efficient courteous and friendly. Their standards were very high and they were very tidy. They answered any questions we had and explained the app and iboost. We are extremely pleased with the system ..although its only day 2.....and would recommend Blue Build Energy to anyone.
Great service from BlueBuild. Sam is quick to reply and sort things out. 10/10 for my solar panel installation. Thanks again
Brilliant service received, from start to finish.
After a brief discussion with Samantha who was very knowledgeable about their product I went ahead and ordered. A company came an erected the scaffolding for health and safety reasons. I live in a 2 story building. The electricians came at time allocated and started to install the cabling and inverter plus 2 batteries. They were clean and tidy in the workmanship. An hour later the solar panel installers came to do their piece of work. Both crews finished by 3.30. The electrician then installed on my phone the app which controls the panels. It shows you when the panels are working ie power going to batteries for later use and to the grid. They made a connection to my immersion heater so I have hot water as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. I researched different companies before I chose this one I had recommendations from 2 different people stating the company had been in business for many years. There are many start up companies out there so I did not risk going with them thinking of the future should any faults occurs into the system
My home was recently completed with wrap around insulation to the front and rear. Colm and the lads did a fantastic job. There were extremely courteous and friendly. Their attention to detail, cleanliness and professionalism was wonderful. Their work crews were very professional and respectful when they were on site. I can recommend Bluebuild Energy without any hesitation. I would like to thank Colm in particular for all of his help managing the project. His level of courteousness, communication and project management skills were exemplary. He should be teaching this to tradesmen. Thank you so much to Colm and the lads. Maeve Buckley
From our initial appointment to our final visit we can only say that everyone involved were great. There was a whole team of people involved for wrapping the house, a new heating system installed and the attic insulated. Everyone involved were very professional, helpful, friendly and excellent at what the did. They were all very polite and very respectful of our home. A first class service from all the tradesmen involved. A special mention for Jason Roe our appointed project manager who advised and guided us every step of the way to achieve an absolutely excellent result. We are very grateful for his service and advice. We have nothing but the highest praise for Jason and his professional team of tradesmen. We would have no hesitation recommending Blue Build energy to any prospective customers.
One of their team came out to our house to check for an insulation job. The staff member drilled through a single brick wall even though they were instructed not to drill there and drilled through causing damage not only to the wall but to items stored in our garage on the other side of the wall. Called their team about it, was told that Rachel would call me back and it’s been over two months and I’ve not been able to get anyone. Not the level of customer service I’d expect.
We had 16 solar panels, inverter, 2 duracell batteries, and iboost placed in June 25. The price was very competitive, and the quality of the hard materials swung it. However, the company is only as good as its workers. The roofers and the elections were absolutely fantastic. Very courteous, competent, and the workmanship was neat tidy and of an exceptional quality. Based in Lurgan , I would highly recommend
Just had solar panels installed through blue build. The process was very quick and efficient. The team went through everything and the installers were great. Whole process took less than a fortnight from enquiring to finishing.
Just got PV Panels installed by BlueBuild and I can say that the staff were very efficient and courteous from the planning to the actual installation. Samantha was knowledgeable and helpful, the electricians and roof installers were very efficient and tidy and I generally had a great experience with this firm!. Well done!.
Just had solar panels and battery installed. From first contact, quick turnaround on order - Samantha was very friendly as she helped oversee everything. The actual installation was done in a day. Very tidy job by the sparks and roofers. It's only been 2 days, but already using way less electricity from the grid, water is hot, and already exporting a lot. So far so good!
Jason and the lads did a fabulous job for my father-in-law Eddie. From the get go, Jason was very professional, on top of the job and very empathetic. A fantastic project manager. All the lads who worked on Eddie's home were excellent also. Eddie is very happy with the job as are Rob and myself. We have had a few enquiries already who are very impressed with the result!!! Go Jason, go!!!!!! Rhoda, Robbie and Eddie Artane
Waiting for 2 months for this Company to call with me, they have cancelled twice... both times that they arranged and I wasted 2 days annual leave waiting for them not to come.
Bluebuild have done a brilliant job installing Solar panels, batteries, roof vents and insulation into our house in Newtownards. We are very happy. All the team were very friendly.
Mixed feelings about my setup, I have 15 x 430W panels installed across two roof orientations (South East and North West), which means I get solar generation throughout the day—morning, afternoon, and evening, this works amazing with the 3.6kw inverter as there is minimal clipping and works efficiently. I generated 28kwh on one of the sunny days in April which exceeds all expectations. However the installation process was quite messy, I had asked for a battery setup that would allow for future expansion, but instead, I was given a 3-piece server rack that’s already maxed out with the initial three batteries—leaving no space to add more later. On top of that, the setup in the attic looks quite messy and isn’t a clean setup, I shared an image of it on online and it got brutalised from it.. Then the paperwork has been problematic. I received an MCS certificate listing incorrect system details—wrong brands, wrong system power, incorrect number of panels, and even the wrong orientation. While I will say that Bluebuild have responded when contacted and have taken action when i’ve asked, but I’ve had to reach out 4–5 times about issues that really should have been handled correctly from the start, now to the point i’ve just accepted it the paperwork isn’t accurate, the rack isn’t expandable and the setup isn’t clean. I'm very happy with the performance, less so of the installation itself. If I would do it all over again I would probably change a few things
Amazing service!
My daughters home was recently completed with wrap around insulation and front of house cavity insulation pumping.The level of attention to detail, professionalism, cleanliness and customer support was tremendous. The work crew couldn't have been more proficient and my daughter will separately comment. I can recommend Bluebuild Energy company without any hesitation. I thank Colm in particular for his consistent communication and follow-up and the lads were top drawer. 10 out of 10 guys. John Nason/Dublin 3rd April 2025
Jason and his team have been absolutely fantastic through the whole process. The work done and the clean up process was excellent.
Great to work with Rachel and Darcy. Team had Loft insulation down in a couple of days and then completed vents. Building Control all.checked and passed! Well done BLUE.BUILD. D Martin, Ballymoney.

Had my solar system installed today by bluebuild energy. Delighted with whole process from start to finish. After contacting a few providers we settled for bluebuild, best price and double battery system. Panel installation was very good. Electrics and electricians were top notch! So neat amd tidy and all aspects explained in detail, including downloading the app and using for best results.
Excellent job and service. Bluebuild insulated my roofspace and did a great job. Two guys were great workers and very pleasant. Rachel (who works in the office) is a real asset to this company. She has excellent customer service skills and nothing was too much. I was able to avail of a grant. Rachel helped with the process seeing to the building control application etc. It was all completed promptly and very professionally. Building control inspected and passed all the work. I am very happy with the service and work this company carried out.
Bluebuild Energy insulated my dad's loft, which is is more than happy with result. A profession and effecient service. Rachel in the office a great help and very professional with any queries dad had. Thank you all!
Literally just this week had my wall insulation done by these guys can't thank them highly enough for the work done Conor and Ethan never stopped there work was quick and done an amazing job nice guys they were also big thankyou to Robert,Tom and Rachel for making this happen 👍
Got roof insulation done by Blue Build. From start to finish they were amazing with Rachel in the office sorting out the grant till the guys installing. Very professional and left the place spotless highly recommend
After enquiring about wall insulation, they sent out a guy to survey my property within a few days. He gave me super price compared to 2 other companies si I agrred right away to get the job done. They informed me it could be completed within a few weeks or sooner. A couple of days later they offered me a cancellation which i accepted. The installation was done super quick and the guys cleaned up after them. The house is now super warm and glad we got this done. Super service! Cheers
Amazing team from start to finish from helping with the grants to Rachel keeping informed on when things where going to happen. The heat in my house has improved 100% damp walls are drying out . It didn't take long to from start to finish in the process off my insulation of wall and roof installation. Once again a big thank you to everyone.
Bluebuild installed my roof solar panels some years ago. Recently some panels have loosened during the gales & I asked them if they could remove some of them. My inverter has also stopped working & needs replaced. My warranty has well expired so I obviously expect to pay for any work done. After a positive site visit I expected that they would be in touch but no. They have completely ignored all my calls over the last few months. I am now left with unstable & unproductive panels and am struggling to find anyone else to help. Now really regret having solar panels on my roof. It seems that once your warranty has expired Bluebuild will leave you high & dry.
Blue Build was fantastic to deal with. From the knock on the front door, planning, right through to both loft and cavity wall insulations. Professional and pleasant team to work with. Would highly recommend.
We had the roof space insulation done along with the water tank and new board walk to the tank. Tidy workers and a professional job, we could feel the difference in the house temperature right away. Highly recommended.
Bluebuild recently installed loft insulation in our home. Robert came out to inspect the job, and reassured us of the benefits of the insulation. Marty & Stephen were totally professional from start to finish during the job. Highly recommend BlueBuild 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I had loft and cavity wall insulation installed by Bluebuild Energy. The whole process ran smoothly, from the consultation with Robert, contact with Rachel in the office, to the different teams who carried out the work. All concerned were courteous, friendly and hardworking. The work was completed within the stipulated time frame. A small issue I identified was speedily dealt with.
We had the wall cavities and loft insulation installed by Blue build and we are very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of all the staff involved. Rachel had us booked in quickly and kept us updated on times, Robert who assessed our house and talked us through the process, and the team who done both jobs were very tidy, efficient and professional. 10/10 Service
Just recently got the cavity wall insulation done with Bluebuild Energy. True professionalism from start to Finish. Very clean efficient work. Great customer service throughout and a big shout out to Rachel for answering all of our questions.
I have used Bluebuild on two separate occasions, they installed an air heat pump about 12 years ago and 3 years ago solar panels. I had a serious issue with the heat pump, and Bluebuild replaced it with no hassle. Also, they have been brilliant with the Solar panels, installation was hassle free and any questions I had they always got back to super quick. I am so impressed with the high standard of work of Bluebuild and their customer ethos, I highly recommend them!
I phoned Bluebuild on a Thursday & they were out the following Tuesday & insulated the roof space, then on the Thursday they came out & removed all the old wall insulation allowed it to dry out for afew days, Monday was a bank holiday so arrived on the Tuesday & filled the walls with insulation & the holes, great firm & all the workers knew exactly what to do. If looking insulation Blue Build is the firm to call.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bluebuild has recently installed External Wall Insulation to my home. I look forward to the heat saving benefits during the colder months but that apart, the finished product has vastly improved the visual appeal of my home. The entire team, from coordinator Tom, to installers Conor and Ethan right through to foreman John who finished things off, I have only the highest of praise. They were at all times engaging, informative and thoroughly dedicated to providing a top class product. I would have no hesitation recommending Bluebuild to prospective customers.
From the start to end of the process everyone at BlueBuild Energy was really helpful. We had a site visit and possibilities discussed, as we had no idea what was available. The installation of our panels was booked for a time that suited us and was completed with no issues. When any arrangements were made the people were there, which is a definite plus in my eyes. Definitely recommend Bluebuild Energy.
Cavity Wall Insulation was completed quickly and with no fuss. From Rachael in the office to the fitting team excellent service. Highly recommend this company.
Loft insulated and cavity wall insulation replaced all within one week. A first class, professional company from original contact to job completion. Every step was fully explained at outset, and all installation staff were courteous and careful around our home. All work completed in 3 days. Would recommend BLUEBUILD to anyone contemplating improving their home insulation, 5 star company.
Bluebuild were recommended to me by so many people, and i can see why. It was such a professional and efficient process from start to finish. And the 2 lads who came to do the work at the end were really pleasant, tidy, proud of their work and good at it. Which is why I'm happy to recommend them to you, as others did to me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I'm so happy with BlueBuild, they did am amazing job from the first call with Will to the young men that fitted the solar panels. They where so knowledgeable, answered all my questions and really knew their product. They treated our home with respect, cleaned up and left no mess and where a pleasure to have about for the half day it took them to install. I genuinely would recommend BlueBuild if you are thinking of installing solar panels to your home.
I was interested in getting cavity wall insulation, used the "contact us" form on their website, got no reply. After a couple of weeks emailed them via their "info@" email address, still no reply 2 months later.
We are very happy with our solar panels supplied and fitted by Bluebuild Energy. They were very efficient from start to finish and would be happy to recommend them to anyone.
Efficient and delivered what they promised. Added a free Boost Buddy and connected the system to the immersion in the main house, so lots of hot water in January.
Great bunch of folks! The work was done quickly and to a high standard, and I've been enjoying sticking it to the man by saving money on my leccy bills since. Update Although the installation was great, the aftercare service is very poor. I've been waiting for a repair since September (4 months) and there has been no communication or updates. When you spend a 5 figure sum, you expect some level of care :/
Guys workmanship was 100% and the electricians were extremely tidy. I would highly recommend this company to anybody looking to get a solar system
The PV system was installed very quickly, and the whole process from planning to completion was swift. Matt the electrician is very knowledgeable, and his work is extremely neat. I would recommend this company.
At German Shepherd RRR, we have a completely off grid system set up by Blue Build. We are a German Shepherd Rescue Centre in Holywood and we couldn’t afford to connect to the main grid, nor would we be able to afford recurring electricity bills. We have always been interested in natural forms of power and had a few small solar panels running radios for our dogs. We got in touch with blue build and the quote we received was much more achievable than the quote we had received to connect to the grid. We were able to fundraise for the system and through kind donations from our supporters, we now have electricity which costs us nothing. At times during the winter, the system drops in power, but this is due to less daylight, not the system. We rectify this issue, by occasionally boosting the system with a petrol generator. This system is an asset to our rescue. It has allowed us to install lighting and cctv. In the last year a supporter enabled us to add further panels and purchase another battery to store power, which enhanced our system further. Blue build has done a great work at our centre and have also supported our rescue work by providing us with a raffle prize. We know they are only an email or phone call away. We had minor teething problems at the start, but the company rectified the issue and lately when we had an issue with the system where we managed to knock all the power off trying to switch to a temporary generator, blue build sent out an engineer to help us. We couldn’t fault the service we have received and are so thankful for to blue build for the system they have installed and also to our supporters who kindly donated and enabled us to purchase this system.
Bluebuild Energy installed solar panels and cavity wall insulation in my house and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the initial appointment to the final visit they have been amazing to deal with. The staff are professional, experienced, friendly, helpful and above all excellent at what they do. The advice and knowledge they have made decsion making easy, and all the staff involved with the job went above and beyond to provide me with the best service possible. The installed system is great and I couldn't be happier, I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner! Patricia
From start to finish a very professional service and installation, staff on site very thoughtful and tidy, special mention to Rachel in the office for all her help on the admin side. Would highly recommend this company
Was very impressed by this company from the very start on their efficiency on home insulation grant took us through all our options turns out was able to get wet cavity wall insulation extracted and replaced by beads top up of attic insulation and roof vented to help house breath the salesman was friendly and down to earth.A few months later a team of men came out to do the first part cavity wall extraction then the next day they filled cavity with the beads a few weeks later attic and roof vents were done and not like many trades people they were well mannered no swearing tidy they left the outside of the house immaculate you wouldn’t of thought any work had been done a credit to this company.WHAT A DIFFERENCE the house feels so cosy takes less time to heat up and when heating is off retains heat for way way longer a very pleased customer. I would like to pass on a very big thankyou to all that we’re involved HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 👌👌👍
Trouble free installation with a very professional and polite team. Fair price with no hards sales tactics. Recommended
Fair price. Quickly installed with no issues. Working well even in mid winter Would recommend and use again myself if needed
We had an extremely good experience using BlueBuild Energy , they came out and did a sight survey , went through the options that were available , very up front with pricing and expectations on performance , explained the warranties very well. And we got them installed quite quickly when they had an unexpected opening in the diary . The installers that came were quick , clean and professional , explained what was going on and had the entire system up and running in a single day . We aren’t producing much as it is winter, but we are producing some energy every day. We are excited to see how well the system performs next summer .
From planning to installation was so simple. The roofers had their part completed in three hours.(scaffolding was pre-erected.) The electricians were on top of their job. Really pleased with their placement and installation of the units required to make the system work.
Excellent service from beginning to end. Sales representative was informative clearly detailing the product and process. Installation was prompt with personnel arriving on time, completing all work without fuss, in a professional manner. On completion a full explanation of the system was provided. Follow up including billing, certification, and assistance with Power NI registration, was provided by the companies administration team.
Bluebuild Energy installed my 4KW solar grid tie system two months ago and I already see considerable savings on my bills, the iBoost hot water heater is excellent and we always have a full tank of hot water. The installation team were really professional and completed the job as scheduled. Bluebuild took care of the MCS certification and prepared all the paperwork to get the grid tie connection approve with NIE. Great investment and I highly recommend Bluebuild.
We were very impressed with the installation of our solar panels from start to finish. Work was carried out in a timely fashion, communication was excellent with Blue Build. Highly recommend them.
From quote to install process was quick and hassle free
Bluebuild was recommended to me by a relative. Stuart sorted eveything out quickly and installation was organised for 3 weeks time. They had a cancellation and my install was 3 days later. Almost 2 years of operation now. Very happy with export tariff and we use no gass between April and October to heat water. Our electricity from the grid is down by 36%. That includes an electric car and a mainly east facing roof. Some slight tile damage during installation was fixed, promptly, the next day.
Great experience. Had options explained to us and helped us choose the most appropriate one for us. Install went smoothly and we couldn't be happier with our panels.
So impressive, all the kit installed in a day - we retained our hot water tank after switching to gas, so now we have free hot water all summer and as bonus get payments from NIE.
Good clean quick nice and quick no problem
Very reliable service and expedient installation.
Very happy all round and great company to deal with thanks bluebuild
Good service installation went well and no issues with system since install
Solar panels, batteries and inverter are all performing well. After sales service was superb.
Had bluebuild install my solar panels over a year ago They did a fantastic job Highly recommended
Excellent service, everything was quick and easy. Installation was seamless. Due to increased cost of electricity, I'm so glad I got the solar panels.
Fully professional, from first visit and check to solar panel installation and connection. I’m already 1,5 year with the panels on my roof and it’s working well.
Sales rep Stuart picked up on my speculative out of the blue email. Prompt site visit. Good knowledge and advice. Quality Victron and BYD products. Prompt installation. Wiring could have been slightly tidier. Useful to view remotely and troubleshoot via VRM portal.
Installed on time, good clean workmanship, energy savings are immediate, and continuing to climb
A very straightforward process from start to finish. Everything was made easy . No mess no fuss . Enjoying our new investment , especially on sunny summer days when I can charge up our EV almost exclusively from the solar panels .
Work was tidy and done quickly, would highly recommend. Panels have been in just over a year, with the savings and the rebate from the grid they will pay for themselves in 5 years.
It has been a sound investment to use Bluebuild Energy. They proved to be a very professional service from initial assessment to installment. I totally recommend this firm if anyone is thinking about reducing their electricity bills.
Got a 5.2kw system installed by bluebuild (no battery) on a south facing roof, based on a full years use it cut my usage from the grid by 50% (up to 80% during summer but then this can drop to 15% in the darkest months), produced lots of hot water from the diverter so savings on heating and also paid out £360 pounds for my annual export of what I sold to the grid. Effectively paid my entire annual electricity bill itself all in, well worth it and you'd be mad not to with a 25 year guarantee
Almost one year after we got our solar panel system installed by BlueBuild, it's safe to say we already feel this has paid off. From the first query to the installation day, it was only about 6 weeks. The actual installation only took one day, and the team worked brilliantly. We were kept informed throughout the process and the system was explained well, including the pros and cons of battery storage (we decided against it due to upfront cost, but will probably retrofit at some point. BlueBuild also looked after all the paperwork and system registration with Power NI. In the first 10 months we've significantly decreased electricity consumption and, after the new import/export meter was installed, put over 500kw back into the grid for which we were reimbursed. Government really ought to incentivise these systems and support households to install them if they are serious about CO2 reduction.
Very professional company to deal with and only took 1/2day to fit 12 solar panels and all working great
PV panels efficiently installed almost a year ago. Performing as predicted. For me the important question is pay back time. Should be 9 to 12 years.
We are very pleased with our experience with Bluebuild Energy. We were given excellent service, sound advice and they delivered. IT WAS A COMPREHENSIVE, ONE DAY, SERVICE TO GO SOLAR
Used BlueBuild to install our solar panels and found them to deliver an extremely and efficient service with no mess and no disruption to our home. Thank you BlueBuild
Brilliant company, from Stuart calling to explain everything, to the guys that installed ....no complaints at all. Everyone did their job & made it all painless. Highly recommended
Installed November 2022 . Installation as planned. Clean and tidy and answered every query. Excellent paperwork and follow up. working as planned and savings on target.
The installation was carried out promptly and well. The scaffolding erectors came one day, the installers the next, and the scaffolders took the scaffolding down a couple of days later. Some minor repairs to roof tiles were done at no extra cost, and when the smart immersion heater failed after a few months, it was replaced very quickly and the replacement model has worked well since then. So overall we were very happy with Bluebuild Energy as our installer.
Bluebuild Energy are the company that installed a solar panel system for me at my house, have to say their work is of a very good standard would definitely recommend
Excellent service from start to finish. Very professional to deal with, from assessment to fitting was only a couple of weeks and all installed and operational within a day. Couldn’t fault anything and the panels work brilliantly
Bluebuild Energy arrived on time, installed 10 panels very neatly, works well and has saved quite a lot of energy costs to date.
Faultless experience. Quick efficient and friendly. Left no trace of having carried out any work at all and gave me a comprehensive handover when finished. I cannot recommend Bluebuild highly enough. After having my solar panels fitted I had them carry out an insulation survey. Extremely honest appraisal which is in itself rare these days.
First class service and advise from bluebuild. Very pleased with the install and the savings we have made so far including an incredible rebate! Highly recommended
Very happy to recommend Bkuebuild Energy following the installation of our solar PV system. Good communication with neat and professional work
Prompt and efficient installation.
We had Bluebuild install our Solar Panels over four years they were great- cost approx €8000 But our panels stopped working a 3-4 months ago We contacted Bluebuild after trying for weeks got to speak to a girl called Sam who promised to check with an engineer and come back to us That was 3 weeks ago We are very disappointed in Blue build aftercare We are now sorry we installed cost cos any money we saved on electricity we have spent on the panels
I purchased a 4k system with a hot water eddy last December. I'm retired and home all day, this means I'm able to use the electric generated, washing machine,lawn mower ect. My electric bill has been significantly reduced and want power wasn't used I get paid via the export meter. Bluebuild energy gave me a great price for top quality products and swiftly installed in, they also contact you regularly to check all's well. I'm very pleased 😁
We had Bluebuild Energy install our solar panels back in September 2022 and the process was professional and all done in a day. The system has been working well and whilst energy costs have been rising, the savings made over the last 12 months have been absorbed and some profit made exporting to the grid. Very happy to recommend Bluebuild Energy for those looking at ways to offset the cost of domestic energy rises.
Quick and easy installation. System working well and from day one we were saving money.
Professional service and speedy follow-up service. Recommended.
Had a 5.2 Kw solar installation - very competitive price, quick installation, engineers flexible to my specific requests, system seems to be working fine since may, 23 so far.
Contacted Blue Build Energy after a builder recommended them. They were very helpful and arranged a survey promptly. Survey very well carried out by an extremely knowledgeable gentleman. Advised me all about cavity wall insulation. Quote for price sent through quickly and work was booked and carried out within weeks. Yes it was noisy and a lot of dust was created outside but it was all done within an afternoon and they cleaned up afterwards too! I can feel a difference in the heat retention in my property already and look forward to (hopefully) reduced hearing bills! I would highly recommend this company. An excellent job done. Thank you Blue Build Energy
Very pleased with Bluebuild Energy. Good communication and information from throughout regarding the project with everything going to plan. The work on site was carried out at the time given by efficient, tidy workmen.
I was delighted to get solar panels fitted. Blue Build got the panels work done in a morning with the electrician finishing up a few hours later. I was disappointed that any grants or discounts ie no vat discount doesn’t seem to be available for NI . More to do with no assembly at the moment, than Blue Build. Even with that ,Blue Build seems to be a fair bit more expensive than it’s competitors. Overall though it’s a good neat job done by a reputable company if a little pricey.
Extremely prompt first class service. Job executed on time, leaving everything very tidy and all at a very competitive price. Highly recommended.
Installation complete in one day. Panels have been operating since May 2023 with no significant issues. Export payment received from NIE. Smart immersion appears to be beneficial.
Fast efficient service with very helpful post purchase backup.
We got our panels fitted in May 2023 and were really impressed by the efficiently of staff and workmanship.
Brilliant service in an exceptionally timely manner. From first visit to installation was 5 days including weekend with no pressure at all. Clean and tidy installation. What can I say about Will? He’s unique, in a good way!
Great turnaround time- Easy to deal with and neat and tidy job. Would recommend
Excellent service from start to finish. The system has been up and running for two months and we are delighted with everything. It has been working a treat. Especially like the apps which allow you to oversee what you are producing and using. The installation process went very smoothly and professionally. Thanks to everyone concerned, the office staff, the scaffolders, the roofers and the electricians. Special thanks to Matthew who supervised the installation and Sam for organising everything and getting the paperwork sorted.
Quick and very straightforward install, with no mess over the summer. 13 panels and 7.2kw batteries. We had been charged 1000 for 1st quarter this year in electricity before gwtting the equipment. However, since installing the equipment are now in region of 120 a month. That's expected to increase in winter, but will be offset be feed in tariff. Although the initial outlay isn't cheap, I'm hoping to make it back within around 5 to 6 years. Fully recommend BlueBuild.
Will, Gavin & Samantha from Bluebird Energy helped me get started into the world of solar for my home renovation. Very friendly, patient & knowledgable company. Their team of installers were excellent and I am delighted with the solar panels, the solar boost system for hot water, the car charger and the app. Highly recommend.
Very happy. Makes a real difference to our home.
The team that installed my solar panels and car charger were excellent. No mess at all in my house or outside,I would highly recommend their services.
Excellent service. Installation teams were very punctual and efficient. Had the panels installed within 3 hrs. Everything was left clean and tidy. From survey to Installation was just over a week. Thanks BlueBuild
BlueBuilt Energy is a great team. The photovoltaic installation was quick and professional. I recommend them to anyone looking for an inexpensive, reliable company.
BlueBuild provided me with an excellent service from beginning to finish - they are very attentive with an attention to detail. Answered all of my questions and installed the solar panels when they said they would. I would highly recommend them if getting Solar Panels.
Professional polite and to be recommended.
Excellent service from Bluebuild. From the initial discussion (PV System) with Samantha, survey, scaffolding, fitting and electrical everyone I encountered has been extremely helpful and polite. A big thank you to the team and a well deserved 5 stars!
So glad I saw the solar panels advertisement from Bluebuild Energy and followed up. They installed 13 panels on my roof within a morning and I could not be more pleased with the results. Really professional company with great customer support. They guided me through all aspects of legalities I needed to comply with and provided everything I needed to register with my electricity provider in order to receive payments for spare power that went into the grid from my system. I am more than happy to recommend Bluebuild for the quality of their work, their materials and their customer support, which has been a pleasant and positive experience for me.
Purchased solar panels and battery. It was competitive and installation was well organised and tidy. I chose them as they where the longest trading with panels in (NI) which give me comfort as this is a long term investment. The panels exceeded the predicted output by 510kw which totalled 4018kw. I was delighted as I have a east to west facing roof. Highly recommend.
Very positive experience from initial phone call to Rachel in the office. Roof space insulation carried out soon afterwards by the team and my thanks to all concerned for the help, advice and the excellent quality of the insulation work carried out. Deirdre Conlon
I used Bluebuild for Loft Installation and Roof vents. I am absolutely delighted Bluebuild and the excellent work they carried out. With the whole process from Robert surveying the job, the Office team, to the team of installers, it was seamless and so hassle free from beginning to end. The install team were polite, clean workers and extremely quick and proficient at doing the job and nothing was too much of a hassle to them. I would not hesitate to recommend Bluebuild at all, they are the best team of contractors doing work in my home for a very long time, if not ever. Thank you Bluebuild!
This company is the worst I have every had to deal with , a consent chase on information and pricing , I would advise not to waste your time with them. the representative attitude was a disgrace
From my initial enquiry dealt with by Darcy, to assessment by Robert and loft and cavity wall insulation carried out by the Teams, it was seamless throughout. I would recommend this Company to anyone considering this type of installation.
I cannot thank bluebuild enough for their work. The whole experience has been amazing from start to finish, from Darcy being so lovely on the phone, Robert for the survey and the 2 gentlemen who installed my loft insulation. It’s not autumn yet and I can already feel such a massive improvement. There’s no cold breeze anymore, the entire house is warm and cozy! Thank you so so much for the amazing work and for being such a wonderful team. I highly recommend bluebuild!
I recently had Cavity Wall Insulation installed and it was a slick experience from initial quote to getting it done, this is my second experience of Blue Build after a recommendation from my father who was equally impressed and I couldn't recommend them more.
Great job by the team setting up my 4kw solar system. Done in a day, working well and integrated with my Zappi smart charger.
Delighted to get the cavity wall installed by blue build. Very quick and very competitive price. Feel a real difference in the house.
Would recommend them to anyone brilliant squad of workers very clean and tidy workers sales team very helpful and polite from start to finish surveyors easy to get on with and good crack
Very happy with the service, the team were fantastic, would definitely recommend this company
Very competitive price. Surveyor arrived on time and was very thorough. Explained everything very well and gave written quote. Installers again arrived on time on the day, and carried out a very tidy job. Would definitely recommend using Blue Build.
I recently got solar panels installed and I highly recommend Blue Build Energy. Gavin from sales did a home visit and was friendly and informative. The price shown included a winter discount and although still not the cheapest the solar panels come with a 20 year guarantee. The installation team were very professional and on the day of installation they were done within 4 hours. The electrician was very good at installing the power unit inside the electric box and the panel installers were very professional. Everyone cleans and tidied up after themselves and you wouldn't even know they were there. So far the panels are producing electricity and I've started turn my washing machine and dishwasher during the day. Considerable savings! Will update this post in a few months on my verdict.
Amazing service and a great sense of professionalism about the company. Would definitely recommend
Very poor work.
For years I had considered getting cavity wall insulation in my house, but never did anything about it , finally after the birth of our first child , something had to be done - i called bluebuild on a recommendation from a friend. A surveyor called out a few days later and explained the process and also the costs for both cavity wall & loft insulation. Prices for both were very reasonable and included a grant to bring costs down. Getting it done was a no brainier once the cost was revealed. The actual work took only a few hours and the place was left like they had never been. Very impressed from start to finish.
Great service and a high level of professionalism received when I used BlueBuild Self Storage. The staff were friendly and helpful with regards to how much space I needed and I found them competitively priced in the local market.
If you have a big heating bill, cold house and bathroom you would rather stay in your clothes as it is cold as ice. Have I got the best thing in Bangor for you! Bluebuild Energy. This company were contacted for a survey,a very knowledgeable gentleman called Rodrick told us what would be done, how long it would take and best of all what amount of mess would be created. The van arrived the work started and the man got to work, there was some noise and yes some mess as well, but at the end of the first day it was cleared up. Next day it was stage two of the work yes more noise and mess and all cleared up. The final stage was started and finishes so fast you could not make a cup of tea from start to finish and guess what ALL DONE. We were told that you can notice the change of heat retention in the first day or two. I can say that is the case, as a family we could from first thing in the morning to well after the heating had gone off at night. We are so very glad that we contacted this company, to do the work that was done to a very high standard, polite staff in the office and workmen that are also polite and clean and are more craftsmen than workmen.
