Edinburgh Heating Ltd

Following a strong smell of gas and the emergeny people coming out and switching supply off at the meter, I eventually contacted Ian on the strength of reviews from this site. He came that day, confirmed the problem, but as the job was bigger than I had thought he wasn't actually able to do it due to other commitments. However he put me in touch with another excellent engineer and he didn't charge, which I thought was very fair. Am going to get him back for my boiler service. Very pleasant and helpful guy.

Following the reviews I read here I invited Iain and another local heating engineer to quote for replacing the ancient boiler in our Grade A listed building. Iain responded to my emails and carried out a survey and quoted for the job in a timely manner. He took the trouble to understand what we wanted from our new boiler and took account of our budget, timescales and how we liked to work with our trades. On the back of his fully scoped quote Iain carried out the work in April 2012 subcontracting the roofing work to vent the boiler. He worked efficiently, tidily and was a pleasure to have around. Although the job overran due to hitches inevitable in a building of this age whose heating system falls far short of current building regs he managed this all without drama and was extremely fair in only charging for additional materials not his time. I also love the fact that he was sensitive to our neighbours and never had the radio blaring when working (a pet hate of mine). I have already recommended Iain to others.

I contacted Iain based on the recommendations here and I am glad I did. He replaced a kitchen tap for me. On the face of it a simple job but it required some creative pipe work to complete the job. This was in part necessary to correct the fitting of the old tap by the previous plumber. As has been written, excellent work, great value for money and highly recommended. Will use again.

I found Iain to be very professional and approachable and although we didnÍt end up using him I would have no hesitation in employing him for any future work. He came out when he said he did and gave a very competitive quote. I asked him numerous questions over email, which he always responded too in a timely manner.

We are first time home buyers of a period property needing some TLC. You can imagine how we felt when British Gas condemned our 20yr old boiler on the 23rd December and quoted £4500 for a new combi boiler system to be installed. Over a rather chilly festive season, we obtained several quotes for the job. Iain was first to arrive and straight away went to try and fix the boiler (something British Gas failed to do) only to find the BG engineer had taken the valve from our old boiler. We knew that our existing boiler location was not going to be able to be used as the flue vented into our neighbours garden. Iain took us through the various options for locating the boiler (some which others told us couldnÍt be done!) so we could flue into our own garden. By this time Iain had disappeared under our floor to examine gas, water and waste pipes, wiring and how radiators were connected, etc. He gave us a rough quote there and then for a Valliant combi-boiler, disposal of old hot water tank system and boiler, new flue through the 2ft walls, plumbing, etc. He then hen called back the next day with a fully worked estimate (which was half the cost of our BG quote even with their £400 discount voucher - examine their estimatye breakdown as they quoted £1100 for a boiler I could buy myself online for £550). We instructed Iain and he started after New Year as promised. He was professional, timely, informative and above all very personable and friendly (he is an interesting character when you get chatting to him!!). He worked late if he stumbled upon problems (left by the pervious cowboy tradesmen that worked on the house) that caused time slippage and didnÍt charge us when he needed fittings beyond those quoted for (e.g. an extra flue bend was needed that cost £50 and despite me offering to pay Iain never added an extra penny to the original quote). We are delighted with our new heating and water system and have nothing but praise for Iain who kept us informed throughout the installation. We have already recommended him to friends and colleagues and would have no hesitation in providing him with a glowing reference. Give him a call _ youÍll be glad you did!

We had just moved into our house and the combi boiler failed I emailed Iain on a Saturday and he replied quickly even though he was in the middle of his son's birthday party. He inspected the job 2 days later and gave me some good advice and a competitive quote. He was able to start work 3 days later and did an excellent job installing a Vaillant Combi boiler. He had to upgrade the gas feed pipe back to the meter because the original combi conversion done 10 years ago had not been done properly and there was insufficient gas pressure, so he returned the next day (Saturday) to complete the upgrade. Iain is a very skilled tradesman and I would definitely recommend him for any central heating maintenance or servicing.

Really fantastic level of workmanship and service. Minimum fuss, job done to very high standard and very quickly. If you want a job done well and don't want to over pay over the odds then I can recommend 100%

Radiator fell of wall called monday night at mine on tuesday great service great price highly recommended Excellent value for money

We had a problem with our boiler when we returned from our holiday. Iain was recommended to us by a friend and gave us first class and personal service that you just don't get from large companies. He came when he said he would (straight away - on a Sunday), diagnosed the problem and got the system working. Over and above that, he offered some advice on energy saving which we have since acted on which is saving £30 / month on our gas bill. Price a lot more reasonable than a large company with the personal touch and the added value. First Class.

We had a fault with our hot water system as well as an old Baxi boiler that badly needed servicing. Even though Iain was very busy he came out (after working hours), identified the problem straight away (a faulty motorised valve which he managed to coax into a working state) and serviced the boiler there and then. A couple of days later he returned (again after hours) with a replacement - and better quality - valve which was quicky fitted with no mess. All for a very reasonable price. Iain is very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us good advice. I wholeheartedly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.
