Common Questions
We understand that before you invite us into your home, you want to understand a bit more about us, the company, and our products, that’s completely natural.
As you can imagine, as we conduct our free surveys, remove old heating systems, and install our new electrical storage heaters and instant hot water systems, the same questions come up time and again, so we thought it would be helpful to publish some common questions / FAQ’s and answers, to better help you along the way.
If you have a question that isn’t answered here, we’d be happy to personally talk to you, so please do give us a call on 0800 193 4320.

Why Not Buy Really Cheap Electric Heaters From A DIY Shop?
Cheap to buy means expensive to run usually. They don’t last either and are generally lightweight thin metal and mass produced in China. For these reasons they don’t have long guarantees either because they are not designed to last, and finally, lets face it, they don’t look very nice either do they?

What About Insulation, Does This Matter?
Double glazing, loft insulation, and general draught proofing, are essential to help keep down your bills, regardless of what heating you have in your property.
I Live On My Own, Should I Have Someone Else Present At The Survey?
Absolutely, two heads are better than one. Why not ask a relative or friend over to help with the decision making, we’re here to advise and offer professional advice, we are engineers not salesmen, and also advise on what the most efficient and economical solution.
