Replaced boiler and radiators

Well executed by Callum and Jez. Considerable thought given to ensuring the best way to install the system. A couple of minor problems were promptly solved without arguement. Polite cheerful and hardworking. Worked around timings to suit us, including early morning starts.

Replacement of aged central heating system with new combi boiler

What we thought would be a hideous nightmare of a job turned out to be a moderate inconvenience due to the thoroughly professional attitude of First Call Heating. First contact was with Jez who provided the quotation and arranged the works. The heating engineer, George, arrived as scheduled and carried out the works in a timely fashion, leaving the property in tidy and clean order at the end of every day. We could not have asked for better service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend First Call Heating, especially George, to carry out any necessary work.

Boiler replacement

Having never heard of them before, spoke to the company at the Swan Centre in Eastleigh. Their special offer was a replacement boiler, fully fitted and guaranteed for 7 years, for £2012. Having had quotes from several other people, sounded too good to be true – WorcesterBosch boiler and all. But they turned up when they said they would, sent 2 very competent and pleasant guys to do the work (Callum and Ben) who were consummately professional and focused on their work. At the end of the day, there was a problem. Callum and Ben got their boss to come and assist, in turn getting support from the manufacturer and then Transco. Long story short, potentially very unhappy customer turned into very impressed customer (and I take some pleasing). System works fine (or, appears to - but no reason to suspect that might change anytime soon; and in any event, it comes with the 7 year guarantee!). Callum’s boss (Jez) said he wouldn’t go until we were entirely happy. He was good to his word and left us with a brand new boiler, professionally fitted and commissioned into use. Callum and Ben were excellent. If you are looking for a good deal and value for money, stop looking; it’s here.

Broken Hot water

Returned from holiday to an unwelcomed cold shower. I phoned in the afternoon and they were over before the evening. No work needed to be done, a simple problem to fix.However because it was our error regarding the hot water tank they didnt charge anything! I was very surprised and grateful for this act of good will. Would highly recommend this company!

Repair of Worcester boiler

James was recommended to me by a colleague and I would definitely recommend him to others. He came to our house within 1 hour of calling him, on a Thursday evening, and instantly diagnosed the problem (another non-worcester plumber had already been and spent 3 hours with the boiler with no success). He was able to locate the part we needed without any difficulty (it was a worcester part) and fitted it extremely quickly the next day and for a very reasonable price.
