Q: Can I speak to any of your past
customers?

0800 056 1691 and we'll put you n touch with past and
present customers we've done installation work for. And
don't forget to look at our Testimonials.
Q: What is the best system for
me?
A: The best system for you will depend
upon your lifestyle and the size of your family. For example,
a single person or a couple would probably need a 24KW
combi-boiler, whereas a family of four in a three-bedroom
house could be better with a 30 to 35KW combi-boiler.
Q: Do you install the most energy
efficient systems?
A: We always recommend the most energy
efficient system. This helps reduce global warming, reduces
your fuel bills and increases your comfort levels.
Q: Do you clean up your mess after
you finish a job?
A: We make sure we make the minimum mess
and always clean up during and after the installation.
Our dedicated Environmental Department makes sure this
is done to your satisfaction.
Q: What's the difference between
a combi-boiler and a conventional system?
A: The difference is simple. A combi-boiler
does not have a stored hot water cylinder or a cold water
tank in an airing cupboard or the loft. It heats the water
instantaneously, as you need it. Therefore you don't have
to heat up a tank full of hot water, and you save on your
hot water running costs.
Q: What is a condensing boiler?
A: A condensing boiler reuses the gas
it burns, recycling it to heat the water coming back to
the boiler. This makes it more fuel-efficient and reduces
the high flue temperatures of exhaust gasses going into
the atmosphere. Condensing boilers can be combi-boilers
or non-combi-boilers.
Q: Will I save money on my gas
bills with a condensing boiler?
A: A condensing boiler will slash your
gas bills - so why not upgrade your existing boiler?
Q: Do you have the relevant licences
and qualifications?
A: CHIEF Engineers have all the relevant
licences. We are, of course, CORGI registered and ACS
registered, we have the energy efficiency accreditation,
are approved Worcester Bosch installers at the prestigious
Gold Member level.
Q: What warranties and guarantees
do you offer?
A: As a Gold Member of Worcester Bosch
we offer our customers a three-year parts and labour warranty
on our boiler systems.
Q: How long does an average installation
take?
A: An average combi system upgrade normally
takes approximately three days.
Q: Is it wise to have my system
power flushed?
A: It's recommended you have your system
power flushed. A full power flush using the latest power
flushing equipment will defiantly enhance the performance
and efficiency of your new boiler and existing radiators.
It will also prolong the life of your system.
Q: Do you offer service contracts
and when will I need one?
A: We offer full service contracts for
every installation we carry out. Note: a full service
contract will not be required within the first three-year
warranty period. But the boiler will need servicing every
12 months, and cost £75.00+VAT.
Q: If I have a shower with my
new combi-boiler will I need a shower pump?
A: When you have a new or existing shower
connected to your new combi-boiler, there is no need for
a shower pump as the mains pressure will give an exhilarating
shower.
Q: Will I have new heating controls
with my new boiler?
A: When you have your new boiler installed,
as a part of energy efficiency best practice we fit thermostatic
radiator valves, a room thermostat and a programmer as
necessary.
Q: Can I have a condensing boiler
installed?
A: You can have a condensing boiler installed
provided it complies will all relevant regulations which
we will confirm when we visit your property.
Q: When can you start work?
A: We can normally start work within
two weeks of a property survey.
Q: Are your prices competitive?
A: Our prices are competitive. Generally,
if you get three quotes, you'll find that our price is
in the middle. We position ourselves there so we can afford
to provide you with a high level of service.
Q: Will I have to pay a deposit?
A: Once you decide to go ahead we will
require a 30 per cent deposit and the balance when the
job is completed to your satisfaction.
Q: How can I pay?
A: You can pay by debit card, credit
card (two per cent surcharge) or building society cheque.
We also offer finance.
Q: Will I get a cheaper price from
a one-man-band ?
A: A one-man-band will certainly charge
less, but are you prepared to lose all that a CHIEF registered
can offer you - and that all-important Peace of Mind!
