we've been doing about 1-2 domestic installs a week, but mostly at relatively knock down prices, partly because a lot of them came from the home building and renovation show, and there was another company there advertising 4kW for ÂŁ5k, but most don't seem to want them doing the job so we've split the difference between our pricing and theirs one 2-3.
TBH we've had too many leads to properly follow up recently as we had 30 odd from the HBR show, and another 12 from a farmers event we did all within the space of a week. I reckon we've got most of the domestic work form that, but cocked up most of the farmers just by not having time to follow them up properly - kinda the wrong way round really, but we needed to prioritise the work that'd come in before winter which wasn't anything needing a G59 application.
We've got an email campaign planned for after Christmas targeting high energy businesses (paid for most of it last year, then kept delaying it) which we're going to be focussing on the idea of companies using up the capital tax allowance that's just been upped from ÂŁ25k to ÂŁ250k from January, so many March-March businesses will have ÂŁ225k to invest to use up their tax allowances, and I reckon for high energy using businesses there could well be around a 4-5 year payback time once the offset tax is taken into account (20-24% saved in year 1 or 2).
Very tough last few months tbh, but we're working on the basis that it will pick up significantly in the spring for those companies still in business who're able to get the word out one way or another.
