Good service pleasantly done

James Lawson was very pleasant and carefully serviced my boiler. He was very methodical.
A pleasure to have him here. I think the cost was reasonable.

Excellent communication

Excellent communication. They phoned the day before, to check all was OK, messaged the morning to confirm, and then phoned again to say the engineer was coming in the next hour. Which he did. He even brought his cup into the kitchen for me. Great service

Reliable and competent service levels

We have been customers for a number of years and our annual boiler service was carried out by William Martin. He was very professional in his approach and cleaned up the area after the work. He gave us advice on our CO2 detectors and even rectified a small leak for us.

Would recommend Custom Heat to anyone seeking a reliable and competent firm to look after their heating arrangements.

Home Air Conditioning Unit Installed

The installation of an air conditioning unit at my home was carried out promptly, efficiently and with minimal disruption to my day by Custom Heat. The 3 chaps involved set about their task very swiftly after confirming the job notes with me.
They were clean and tidy; they cleared up at the end of the day with the unit in place.
I’m very pleased with the whole process from quotation to installation and will be happy to recommend Custom Heat to family and friends.

Efficient and trustworthy service

Efficient and trustworthy service

I filled in a form online and a staff contacted me and came to have a survey the next day.
They have 6 teams of installers so we have our air conditioners installed within 2 weeks.
The installers were very punctual, arriving before 8:00am as promised and worked till after 5:00pm. They almost didn’t break except for lunch.
Customer hotline is always available, which made me feel very secured.
Even more surprising, they did everything within taking any deposit. We paid only after the project was complete.
Impressive!

It's great to hear the installation was completed to schedule and that our team's punctuality and commitment on the day made such a positive impression. The no-deposit approach is something we're proud of, as we believe you should only pay once the work is done to your satisfaction.
