MacDonald Plumbing, Heating & Renewables

With fifteen years of experience on the tools, MacDonald Plumbing, Heating & Renewables is a Renfrew-based company specializing in heat pump installations and central heating services across Glasgow and Renfrewshire. Unlike some high-volume sales models, the company focuses on providing a personalized service, starting with a detailed room-by-room heat-loss survey to ensure the correct sizing of heat pump units for each property. This approach aims to cut customer bills and ensure optimal performance.

The company emphasizes a direct approach, with no middlemen or call centres, encouraging customers to call directly for a free survey and quote. They are approved installers for Alto Energy and are working towards their own MCS certification, facilitating access to grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and interest-free loans from Home Energy Scotland. They install equipment from leading manufacturers including Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung, Panasonic, Daikin, Vaillant, Viessmann, and Worcester Bosch.

Founded by Allan, who previously worked with Aira and Stron Renewables, the business prioritizes quality workmanship and customer confidence. Allan runs the business and performs most installations, while Gary, who holds the Gas Safe ticket, handles servicing and emergency call-outs. They are committed to Gas Safe registration, Building Standards notification on all installs, and providing a fixed quote with no commission-driven brand pushing.
