How It Works
- Submit this application form to Shetland Heat Energy & Power Ltd (SHEAP).
- SHEAP will assess the possibility of connection and advise you of their decision. If a connection is possible, SHEAP will arrange for a visit by a representative to visit your business to determine the pipe route, point of entry, position of the meter and heat exchanger and advise on any other relevant matters. A written quote for works will be provided.
- When quote is agreed an invoice for 25% of connection fee will be issued. The SHEAP representative will then draw up a customer agreement form.
- You will need to contact a plumber approved by SHEAP for internal works. The quotation should include fitting of the meter (supplied by SHEAP) and connecting to the power supply. Earth bonding works will be required to be undertaken to the pipework to the correct engineering standards.
- SHEAP will arrange for the pipe to be laid from the mains up to the premises and be responsible for all reinstatement. The contractor may request you to sign a form confirming that the reinstatement is to your satisfaction.
- SHEAP will advise you when the supply is available so that your plumber can put in your installation and connect up immediately. The plumber will be required to undertake any tests requested by SHEAP and instruct you on the operation of your new heating system. SHEAP will then seal the meter and inspect the installation.
