Heatable

I didn't have a good experience with Heatable. - The engineer was late, and didn't communicate until after the agreed arrival window had passed - The engineer was messy and careless. They left mortar sprayed over the walls and ceiling; were going to leave holes in the external wall until I asked them to fill them; stood on parts of the boiler during installation; did not install the products I had ordered and paid for; installed the thermostat receiver in a place where it wouldn't have worked; let a stranger into my home while I was out for half an hour, and allowed them to wait in my living room until I got back (someone who was looking for a room to rent); and finally asked if they could sign the completion documents on my behalf because their phone had run out of battery. - To their credit, Heatable did agree to refund the products which hadn't been installed and sent another engineer to replace the damaged cover and 'audit' the installation. This engineer told me the boiler should work OK but it had been installed messily with poor soldering. - At no point in a 20-minute conversation did Heatable offer an apology, until I suggested it might be appropriate. Even then, the aftersales agent was quite stroppy when I described the experience as an example of poor service, bizarrely maintaining they had provided a good service. I was attracted to Heatable by the offer of spreading the cost over time. I now wish I had found a local engineer and paid up front.

Having trusted Which's recommendation I arranged a new boiler installation from Heatable. Absolutely appalling initial installation. Scruffy, messy and significant damage caused by sub-contractors who couldn’t care less. Very slow to begin rectifying problems. Several revisits needed to resolve primary issues. From that point on, emails were ignored. The roof is now leaking from flu installation. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but overall, very poor.

Installation took only 3 hours and the result was .... 1. They removed an old pipe and "forgot" to seal it. It took 3 visits for them to fix it ( they should have replaced the pipe but they only applied some silicone). Downstairs neighbour property damaged twice. 2. One month later we noticed a gas leak, they repaired it after saying 'it was only a small one'. 3. They removed all the plaster when removing the old boiler (answer after complaining - check our policy) 4. They broke the back of all my kitchen cabinets to set up the condensate pipe. They did not even ask or mention it while in the flat. 5. Over a year later, we found that this condensate pipe was leaking, we fix it 6. Over 2 year later, we found another condensate pipe leak ....We are still investigating if we need to replace the whole pipe.
