What J L Phillips Renewable Energy Ltd does

J L Phillips Renewable Energy Ltd is a Nottinghamshire-based installer of renewable energy systems serving homeowners and commercial clients across the East Midlands, founded by Jason Phillips in 2010 and now operating as part of the 21Degrees group. The company delivers air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, underfloor heating, and solar PV systems, using established manufacturer equipment (notably Mitsubishi Ecodan for commercial ASHPs and Nibe for commercial GSHPs) along with Mibec Heat Interface Units and Insta monitoring for multi-occupancy residential projects.

Its core technology offering is the design and installation of low-temperature heat pump systems optimised for UK properties, including horizontal and vertical ground loop collectors (boreholes up to 100m depth) and air source units capable of operating at ambient temperatures down to -15°C to -20°C. Solar PV is offered as a complementary technology for electricity generation and battery/EV integration rather than as a standalone product line.

Commercial activity is one-time installation projects priced on a bespoke quotation basis (pricing not publicly disclosed), supplemented by an annual service and maintenance stream with free call-outs within 24 months of commissioning. Lead generation is sales-led via a website quote-request funnel, on-site Sales Surveyor assessments, and direct field sales across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and the broader East Midlands. The company handles Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant administration on behalf of customers and is MCS-accredited and Trustmark-certified.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Air Source Heat Pumps Survey, design, supply, installation and commissioning of air source heat pumps that extract heat from outside air and transfer it into heating and hot water systems for homes and commercial properties; systems remain operational at outdoor temperatures as low as -15°C to -20°C and can be paired with radiators or underfloor heating.
• Ground Source Heat Pumps Survey, design, supply, installation and commissioning of ground source heat pumps using buried horizontal collector loops at 1.2-1.8m depth or vertical boreholes up to 100m deep to extract ground heat for heating and hot water; provides consistent performance regardless of weather and can be paired with underfloor heating or radiator systems.
• Underfloor Heating Water-based underfloor heating installation that distributes heat evenly across floors; designed to operate optimally with heat pumps at lower flow temperatures for improved efficiency, and is offered as a standalone or integrated solution.
• Solar PV Supply and installation of solar photovoltaic panel systems that generate electricity from sunlight for residential and commercial properties; can be integrated with battery storage, heat pumps, and EV charging.

Broad incumbents

• Nibe: Nibe is a Swedish-origin heat pump manufacturer whose F1345 ground source systems are installed by JL Phillips on commercial jobs. Nibe operates its own UK installer certification scheme, making it a partner-supplier whose network partially competes with JL Phillips for end-customer heat pump projects.
• EDF Energy: EDF Energy is a major UK energy retailer that has launched heat pump installation and broader home decarbonisation services. Its national footprint, customer base, and integration with energy supply make it a broad incumbent competing with JL Phillips for the same end customers.
• British Gas: British Gas (Centrica) operates a large-scale heat pump and boiler installation business serving UK homeowners under regulated and non-regulated frameworks. It competes with JL Phillips for residential heat pump demand but operates at vastly greater scale and with broader geographic coverage.
• Daikin UK: Daikin is one of the largest global heat pump manufacturers and operates an established UK installer network (Daikin D1-certified partners). It serves the same residential and commercial heat pump demand as JL Phillips and represents a broad incumbent on the equipment and installer side.
• Vaillant UK: Vaillant is a major European boiler and heat pump manufacturer with a UK installer network. As households transition from gas boilers to heat pumps, Vaillant's incumbent installer base and aroTHERM heat pump range place it directly adjacent to JL Phillips' residential installation offering.
• 21Degrees Group: 21Degrees is the parent group that JL Phillips now operates within, providing scale, capital, and group-level capabilities. It is broadly comparable as a multi-brand renewable heating and decarbonisation installer group, but operates across multiple UK regions and brands rather than as a single regional specialist.
• Mitsubishi Electric: Mitsubishi Electric is a core equipment supplier to JL Phillips — Ecodan heat pumps are installed across multiple JL Phillips commercial projects. As a leading heat pump manufacturer with its own installer network, Mitsubishi is both partner and adjacent incumbent in the same value chain.

Regional players

• Geo Green Power: Geo Green Power is a Midlands-based renewable energy installer offering heat pumps, solar PV, and biomass to residential and commercial customers. Its overlapping product set and nearby geographic footprint make it a regional peer competing for similar customers in adjacent East/West Midlands territories.

Direct peers

• Kensa Heat Pumps: Kensa is a UK ground source heat pump manufacturer and installer network specialising in shared ground-loop arrays for social housing and newbuilds. Its focus on GSHP and multi-occupancy installations closely overlaps with JL Phillips' YMCA Lincoln and commercial GSHP work, making it a focused direct peer.
• Octopus Energy: Octopus Energy has rapidly scaled a national heat pump installation service alongside its retail energy business, making it a directly comparable installer with far greater geographic reach and brand budget. Both companies target UK homeowners seeking renewable heating solutions.
