Boiler installation

The three man team arrived punctually and were ably led by Ryan Harris, a very experienced and competent engineer. Throughout the four days that the job required they were all professional and tidy. Their motto of "There are no problems, only solutions" was tested a few times but all minor problems encountered were resolved easily. Each member of the team was competent to carry out their tasks. The boiler recommended by their manager, Richard, appears to be ideal for our circumstances. All four were cheerful and enthusiastic approaching their work as a vocation rather than a job. This was mirrored by the administrative staff with whom we had telephone contact. They dealt with matters promptly and efficiently. We had gone to this firm because it had been highly recommended by a close friend for whom they had installed a boiler a couple of months previously. We concluded that they would approach all customers in a similar manner.

I have had 2 scheduled visits from DB engineers and they were all kind, courteous and exceptionally tidy in their work. Billy and George did a fantastic job of removing and re-siting a radiator and Alistair serviced the boiler. I appreciated the open and honest conversations I had with them all. As a single female, you can't help but think you might be getting scammed a bit, but not with this company. No hidden charges and the work was completed in a very timely manner. The contact with the office staff has been a delight too, so friendly and helpful. I will definitely continue using this company in the future. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

We are delighted with the friendly professional service we received from Lee and his colleagues when they installed and re sighted our new boiler. They went above and beyond what I expected of them, dealing with issues as they arose with a friendly can do attitude that put us at our ease. Very capable, communicative, competent and helpful. DB heating were totally professional from quoting for the work to completion. They also provide comprehensive after care. I highly recommend this firm.

DB Heating have been servicing our boiler for several years, they have always be well organised, punctual and polite. Recently they completed an installation of a new toilet and radiator as well as replacing an old radiator. They were as good as always. Ryan and Jack arrived as organised, with a cheery and helpful disposition they worked solidly throughout the day to complete the job and cleaned up after themselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending DB Heating and will continue to use them ourselves.

New central heating boiler installation
Customer Service

We had no heating throughout December which was miserable. We decided to have our ancient heating boiler replaced and the installation brought up to regulation standard. We chose DB Heating and after surveying the job on the 11th of January, they provided a detailed and comprehensive fixed price quote without delay. Being a very busy time for installers, we were amazed that they gave a start date of 1st February. They always arrived early, were Covid 19 safe and the crew were friendly, considerate and efficient. Each night the site was tidied. The installation was extremely difficult due to access to the rear of the house for the tank and the necessary position of the boiler. A team of them man-handled the fireproof tank into position and the system was installed very neatly. Our house has never been so warm because the system is so efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend DB Heating to anyone. Thank you all at DB Heating!

Annual boiler servicing, by Neil Robins on this occasion. Arrived as scheduled and asked about any specific issues. Identified and rectified one issue and then carried out service thoroughly and promptly. Not invoiced yet but DB have done our servicing for some years now and charges have always been reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Combi boiler failed at the weekend. Engineer turned up mid-morning Monday, diagnosed problem as a faulty fuse (not the PCB he feared!), he went off to source a new fuse, and boiler working again by lunchtime. Huge relief!

DB Heating visited to assess our need for a new Worcester Boiler. They gave us options and after our choice was made they were efficient in keeping us advised as to date of installation and then installing and commissioning the new boiler. The work was done to high standard and we would not hesitate to recommend this firm.

The gas function was part of an 'all-in' kitchen fit, but the 'booked' trader had to cry off. This young guy drove from Tavistock after 5pm and then home to Plymouth. He actually put right a fault in the original installation, so left us in a safer situation. Dependable & effective.
