Proud to Back Highland Businesses
We’re proud to be a sponsor of the Highland Business Dinner – an evening that celebrates the people, ideas, and innovations driving our region forward. It’s a chance to come together, share experiences, and recognise the incredible work being done across the Highlands.
As a local company, we know how important it is to invest in the places we live and work. That’s why we’re committed not just to helping businesses become more efficient and sustainable, but to backing the events, initiatives, and partnerships that help the Highlands thrive.
Time for a Rethink: Is Your Home or Business Energy Costing More Than It Should?
Rising energy prices. Evolving efficiency standards. Breakthrough technologies. It’s no longer a question of whether you should reassess your energy systems – it’s when. And the answer, increasingly, is now. At McInnes Group, we help both homeowners and businesses across the Highlands make smarter energy choices – lowering bills, improving performance, and enhancing comfort.
Why Rethinking Your Energy Systems Pays Off
Energy use is often one of the largest controllable costs for any property. Yet many homes and premises still rely on outdated or poorly configured equipment, leading to wasted power, higher bills, and uneven comfort. By taking a holistic view and applying modern, integrated solutions, you can:
- Cut running costs through higher system efficiencies and smarter controls
- Reduce maintenance headaches with reliable, factory-backed equipment
- Future-proof your property against tightening performance standards
- Improve comfort & consistency with tailored zoning and automation
Business Solutions: Scale, Resilience & Return on Investment
For offices, hotels, workshops and retail units, energy resilience is about more than cost – it’s about ensuring operations run smoothly, guests stay comfortable, and breakdowns don’t disrupt your bottom line. Typical upgrades include:
- Integrated Heat Pumps & Thermal Stores to smooth peak demand
- Solar PV & Battery Systems to generate and store renewable electricity on-site
- Smart Building Controls for automated zoning, demand-response and real-time optimisation
Many of our commercial clients see substantial reductions in monthly energy spend, with payback periods often within just a few years.
Domestic Solutions: Comfort, Control & Support
Homeowners can achieve similar benefits – often with shorter payback horizons and attractive financing options. Popular upgrades include:
- Air-Source Heat Pumps offering up to 350–500% efficiency
- Solar PV & Battery Storage to cut electricity bills and smooth usage
- Smart Thermostats & Zoning for personalised comfort and reduced waste
Through our funding partners, we can help arrange low-interest loans, grant support or tax allowances to make your retrofit even more affordable.
From Boilers to Whole-Building Energy Solutions
Choose the right mix to suit your building and budget:
- Air-Source Heat Pumps – Draw ambient warmth from the air for space or water heating
- Ground-Source Heat Pumps – Access stable underground temperatures via buried loops or boreholes
- Exhaust-Air Heat Pumps – Recover heat from extract or ventilation air to pre-heat fresh air or water
- Solar PV – Generate electricity on-site to offset grid purchases
- Battery Storage – Store surplus solar or off-peak power for use when generation dips
- Ventilation Systems – Supply fresh, healthy air with optional heat-recovery to minimise losses
- Energy Management Systems – Monitor and automatically optimise all your energy assets in real time
- Traditional Oil & Gas Boilers – Retain or hybridise where a full heat-pump retrofit isn’t yet feasible
- Air Conditioning – Provide efficient, controllable cooling for staff areas, server rooms or retail spaces
When these technologies work together, you smooth demand peaks, maximise seasonal performance and unlock the greatest cost and efficiency benefits.
