PBT Installations is an MCS-certified, NAPIT-registered renewable energy installer based in Cheltenham, at the heart of the Cotswolds, and we regularly work in villages across the wider National Landscape — Winchcombe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Northleach, Bibury, Chipping Campden and the smaller villages in between. We design and fit heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage and air conditioning as one integrated system, tailored to the honey-stone cottages, thatched roofs and listed buildings the Cotswolds is known for.
Renewable heating for the Cotswolds’ listed and characterful homes
A large share of Cotswold properties are listed, in conservation areas, or sit within the Cotswolds National Landscape (the area formerly known as an AONB) — which means planning considerations can come into play, particularly around where an external heat pump unit is sited or how solar panels are mounted on a thatched or stone-tiled roof. We factor this into every consultation, and we’re experienced at finding installations that work with a property’s character rather than against it. Solid stone walls and older windows also mean insulation and heat loss need proper assessment before a system is sized — we won’t guess.
Our technologies, available across the Cotswolds
- Heat Pumps — Stiebel Eltron air and ground source systems, sized for solid-wall period cottages as well as newer village homes
- Solar PV & Battery Storage — Solarwatt, and Tesla systems, fitted with sensitive positioning for listed and conservation-area properties
- Air Conditioning — cooling that can double as efficient heating
- Energy Management — smart controls tying your whole system together

Frequently Asked Questions
Often yes, though it usually needs extra planning consideration — particularly around where the external unit is sited and how it’s screened. We’ll assess this as part of your consultation and advise honestly on what’s achievable for your specific property.
t depends on the property’s listing status and whether it’s in a conservation area, but it’s often possible with the right panel positioning and mounting approach. We’ll talk you through what’s realistic before you commit.
We regularly work across Winchcombe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Northleach, Bibury, Chipping Campden and the surrounding villages, in addition to Cirencester and Stroud, which have their own dedicated pages.
