Boost Energy Systems

Boost is a small British business that has been manufacturing phase converters since before 1957. It has always been owner-managed and prides itself on delivering a reliable product at an affordable price combined with high quality service. For many years the firm traded as Boost Electrical Engineering until late 2003 when it incorporated as Boost... Energy Systems Ltd. It has always been run by professional chartered engineers.

In late 2005 Boost acquired Ampair the world renowned, wind, water and solar energy specialists who are the UK's oldest wind turbine manufacturer. This move was part of a growth plan to create a business servicing all sectors of the worldwide small scale renewable energy market. This was a friendly acquisition and we were able to relocate most of the staff to the main manufacturing premises in Berkshire, or make arrangements for them to continue on an outsourced basis. AmpairTM and AquairTM are brand names that we have taken over with Ampair. In 2010 this situation reversed and the Ampair side of the business became dominant, taking over the business assets under the name Ampair Energy Ltd. In early 2014 Ampair expanded again by acquiring the Westwind turbine business which was based in a modern factory in Antrim and relocated all production to there later in the year. We are a professional manufacturer. This means we operate from commercial premises, build to our own designs, have our own test equipment, have product liability insurance, offer ...Read More
