How it started.
The Westcott Venture Park site with its deep and historic roots in the aerospace, rocket-propulsion and defence industries seemed a fitting home for the creation of Optec Group, a new company enthusiastic about providing customers with renewable and efficient smart technologies. Optec Group originally formed as a department of Home Power Services, an established contractor undertaking both air-conditioning and electrical installations for luxury garden building manufacturers like Green Retreats, the UK's market leader. Optec Group became a separate independent company as increasing commercial demand for its services grew, and has since ventured into variety of technical disciplines across the electrical and renewable sectors. We have quickly gained a reputation for being amongst the most reliable providers and maintainers of electrical, renewable, air-conditioning, heating, and climate systems in the UK.

Frequently asked questions

How often should an air-conditioning unit be serviced or maintained?An air-conditioning system should be tested at least once a year, or as per the manufacturer's guidance. Regular servicing not only preserves the manufacturer's warranty of your system, it also ensures that it stays as efficient as possible. Another benefit of having your system tested regularly is that it will catch any potential issues early, saving you money on costly repairs and reducing ongoing energy costs. Additionally regular servicing will improve the air quality in your space aiding the elimination of harmful pathogens such as Covid-19, keeping you and your loved ones healthy and comfortable. For many systems it is a legal requirement to perform annual maintenance, and the government have the ability to penalise non-conformance with unlimited fines.
