Frequently asked questions
What UK grants or schemes apply to a solar install with Plumbcore?
Current UK support includes 0% VAT on residential solar PV and battery installs (HMRC zero-rating until at least 2027), the Smart Export Guarantee paying for exported electricity, and — for heat pumps — the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (England/Wales) or Home Energy Scotland Grant + Loan (Scotland). Eligibility depends on the property and the install. Confirm with Plumbcore which apply before signing.
What questions should I ask Plumbcore before booking a survey?
Key questions: panel and inverter brands (and warranties for each); installer MCS number; expected install lead-time; deposit terms and refund policy if cancelled before survey; who handles the DNO application; and roof/structural inspection responsibility. Plumbcore should answer all of these without hesitation.
How many Google reviews does Plumbcore have in York?
At time of indexing, Plumbcore's public Google business listing showed 25 reviews averaging 4.4★. Numbers change daily — open the Google Maps listing for the live count. When reading reviews, sort by 'lowest rated' as well as 'most recent' — the negative reviews tell you more about how a York-area installer handles problems than the average score does.
Does Plumbcore offer Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBG)?
An IBG is essential — it covers the workmanship warranty if the installer ceases trading. MCS-certified installers usually offer IBG via the MCS scheme. Confirm Plumbcore provides an IBG certificate at handover; don't accept a workmanship guarantee that's only as good as the installer's continued existence.
Is solar still worth it in York given the climate?
York gets enough annual sunlight for a typical 4 kW domestic system to produce roughly 3,200–3,800 kWh/year. Payback periods are typically 8–11 years at current electricity prices. Ask Plumbcore for site-specific yield modelling based on your roof orientation, pitch and shading.
