Cotswold Heating Solutions Ltd

I would certainly recommend Cotswold Heating Services. I had 3 Elkatherm radiators installed to replace old storage heaters. Simon visited initially to check the property, gave comprehensive advice and options, and provided the quote. The heating engineers, Ricky and Charlie, were a great team. They were careful about checking everything before they started the work. They installed and checked everything, and they left the place tidy. The set up of the app to control the radiators was straightforward too. I'll see how the heating is longer term when I've moved in completely but so far so good. It's a transformation! And not forgetting Jo in the office, always quick to respond, it was a pleasure to work with this family business. Thank you!

The work was split into two phases. 1st was strip out (gas CH, radiators, visible pipework), installation of sunamp (hot water) plus a requested variation to replace the WHB taps to the bathroom with better quality taps that I'd acquired. This occurred 5 November 2021. The 2nd phase occurred on 19 November 2021 (requested 1-2 weeks between visits, enabling some re-decoration, particularly to bathroom). During the second, we had three elkatherm heater/radiators installed, plus heated towel rail and a further requested variation - a new extractor fan. A truly excellent team of three (M, R and C), highly competent, friendly, tidy and trustworthy, were involved in the installations (including fitting interior and exterior ventilation grilles where the gas flue went through the masonry walls). We LOVE the sunamp and the elkatherm (bespoke colour) radiators. My views are that the sunamp provides water at better pressure to the shower/bath and at more immediate, consistent temperature. The heaters are versatile in the degree of control (4 mode settings) and a surprise for me was the integrated control display (no separate thermostats on walls). Gas CH cannot continue (my view) if we are to meet our environmental targets and we are glad that we have done this NOW. CHS are, in my view, well ahead of the 'field', were more competitive than the competition we invited to price, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to others considering making a similar eco-friendly move.

When we first bought our apartment the only heating was night storage running on eco 7. We knew very early on that this will not do and it g=had to be replaced with a more modern, convenient and maybe even a lower running cost. The problem for us that due to the property being Grade 11 listed Gas would be very difficult to install so electric had to be the way. I looked at various options and quotations and arriving at Cotswold Heating Solutions ticked all the boxes. We had a very good and clean installation with an Elkatherm system that worked a treat. But I made a mistake... I failed to have a radiator in our spare room which I use either as a study and a second bedroom. Over a year later I called Simon, the MD and requested this to be done. Maybe a week or two later and it was fitted - perfect. It was fitted superbly well, no panic and now our apartment is so ready for winter. Fitting these radiators may not be the cheapest solution but for us its about our comfort and thats where CHS come into their own. The programing took me a while to get my head around but now we're there. And to use an old expression 'we should have done it ages ago' - with Cotswold Heating Solutions. If this reads like a solid piece of promotional advertising copy, then its only because the service and the product deserves it. Brilliant, cant say better than that.

From start to finish Cotswold Heating Solutions were brilliant. They surveyed our house and installed our radiators so quickly and were professional and polite throughout. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them if you need a heating solution!

Cotswold Heating Solutions had been recommended to me by an experienced sustainability consultant and colleague, who provides an advisory service to Parochial Church Councils in the Diocese of Gloucester. My own domestic scheme involved C.H.S. advising on the product, the sizing and installation of three Elkatherm rads. in a reasonably large house extension. The whole process, including deferring the installation for the build to catch up with the wiring second fixings, was handled with care and attention to detail; with a very efficient installation team that happened to be led by a member of the C.H.S. family business. It has been good to support a local business, and we wish it well for the future.

I was directed to Cotswold Heating Solutions by another company in the Elkatherm group who suddenly realised they didn't actually cover my area. My enquiry was dealt with very efficiently, including an apology for the situation, which was not their fault. The radiators were installed in the estimated half a day and I was shown how to operate them. It's still early days but initial calculations seem to indicate that costs will be comparable with the previous gas central heating, and the property is at the temperature I need.

Needed to replace 2 old night storage heaters and had several companies out to quote. Simon (the managing director) was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative during the survey. I felt very assured that the Elkatherm radiators were the perfect choice for me. One of the things I love about them is their A++ energy performance rating. Having used the radiators I can only say how impressed I am with ease of operation and their great looks. I won't hesitate to recommend this wonderful family company to all my friends and family!

Think very carefully before using this company. No consideration was given to the lack of sockets by the salesman. This necessitated additional costs to provide spurs to radiators. After having paid £10k and losing programming during a recent power cut, I am now told it is not their problem. The call out to reprogram will be £80 plus VAT - shameful.

I am so pleased with both my new heating system and the friendly professional assistance from Simon and all the staff I engaged with from my first phone call until the installation of my 4 Elkatherm radiators. I was seeking to remove my ancient storage heaters and couldn't be happier with my choice. The old radiators were removed and the new ones installed in optimal new locations in my flat. The work was done just as Simon described it would be and at the costs he quoted on his initial visit to my home. The 2 men, Ricky and Charlie, that installed the radiators were friendly, respectful, engaging and exceptionally tidy throughout both the removal and installation process. They arrived at the time they said they would that morning and had the job completed by early afternoon. They were also very patient in their teaching session for using the system once the job was completed. I could not be happier with Simon and his team, as well as the product they have installed. Thank you Cotswold Heating!

I engaged this company to install an electric heating and hot water system in my Victorian terraced house. The managing director, who is a qualified electrician, came to carry out a survey. He did not look to see if the existing electrical system was suitable to support the new installation. It wasn’t. An hour after the installation team left I had no electricity on the ground floor. They came later to provide a temporary remedy. The MD, Simon Rhys-Davies states “your electrical installation and associated condition is not our responsibility “. I would agree. However, I would suggest that the installation of a new system should not be sold to a customer without checking that the existing electrics can support the new installation safely.
