Ultimate Renewables Supplies

What Ultimate Renewables Supplies does

Ultimate Renewables Supplies Ltd (operating as "URS") is a UK-based private limited company (company number 14551374) headquartered at Unit M1, Telford Road, Bicester, Oxfordshire, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lords Group Trading Plc, a building materials and renewable energy distributor listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company designs and supplies air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, solar PV systems, battery storage, underfloor heating, and mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) systems to a nationwide network of URS Accredited Installers. Its product catalogue spans more than 20 air source heat pump SKUs from manufacturers including Clivet, Panasonic, Grant, Samsung, Mitsubishi Electric, Vaillant, Ideal Heating, Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Viessmann, Hitachi, and Navien, plus ground source heat pumps from CTC and Kensa, and an electric storage system from Clivet.

The company's central technical differentiator is a proprietary "open loop" system design that runs the heat pump at low temperatures continuously, eliminating buffer tanks and room-by-room thermostats, with claimed seasonal efficiency of 350–500% versus an industry benchmark of ~270% (per Energy Saving Trust/Ofgem) and 40% lower running costs versus standard buffer-tank systems. Beyond hardware resale, URS operates an MCS Umbrella Scheme that lets non-MCS-certified installers deliver MCS-compliant heat pump installations, with URS handling heat loss calculations, system design, commissioning, MCS certification, and Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant applications of up to £7,500 (£9,000 for off-grid properties). The company also runs a state-of-the-art training academy in Bicester offering a free one-day "Ultimate Accredited Installer" course, and pays accredited installers £150–£250 per servicing or commissioning job completed on its behalf.

URS operates a hybrid go-to-market: primarily a B2B trade supplier to its accredited installer network (nationwide coverage in England and Wales), with secondary direct-to-consumer touchpoints including the Bicester showroom, phone/email inside sales, and an online quote tool (Spruce). Revenue streams therefore mix hardware resale (heat pumps, solar, accessories) with professional services (MCS Umbrella Scheme design/certification, accredited installer training delivered free, and recurring servicing/commissioning work routed through the installer base). Certifications held include MCS, F-Gas, NAPIT, and RECC, and the company's main website directs both homeowners and trade installers toward BUS-funded installations.
