About Allan

Fifteen years on the tools.Now running my own ticket.

Allan trained at Aira (heat pump installer), then went out on his own in late 2025 because Aira's upsell-driven model wasn't the trade he signed up for. MacDonald Plumbing, Heating & Renewables is heating done the way Allan would want it done in his own home.

The number that matters

15

Years on the tools — gas, oil, heat pumps, plumbing.

Two-person operation

Allan runs the business and does most installs himself. Gary holds the gas ticket and covers servicing and emergency call-outs across Renfrewshire. Both Renfrew based, both Gas Safe registered.

Get in touch

MacDonald Plumbing, Heating & Renewables is a Renfrew-based heating engineer covering Glasgow, Renfrew, Paisley, and Renfrewshire. Gas, plumbing, central heating, and air-source heat pump installs (MCS pathway via Alto Energy short-term, own MCS in progress).

Why we exist

Allan spent four years at Aira fitting heat pumps. Good training, but the high-volume sales model meant pushing systems that didn't always fit the property. Clean Energy is the antidote: one engineer, fixed quotes, the right system for the job.

How we work

Survey first, fixed quote, no commission-driven brand pushing, Gas Safe certificate on every gas job, Building Standards notification on installs, MCS pathway for grant-eligible heat pump installs.

Coverage

Glasgow (all G postcodes), Renfrew (PA4 base), Paisley (PA1 PA2 PA3), wider Renfrewshire (PA1-PA19). Most jobs same-day diagnosis.
