Electric boiler installation near Huntingdon

by

We were invited by the client to change his existing electric boiler which was over 30 years old within his property in Kimbolton. The unit was tired and in need of replacement. It was also uneconomical to run in today’s climate.

We surveyed the property and discussed fully the client’s requirements to come to the conclusion that the best way forward was to fit him a new electric boiler based on what was already installed.

The original installation had a 3 Phase electric boiler and we recommended this to be replaced with another 3 Phase 24kw electric boiler allowing enough capacity to not only heat the house, but the hot water as well. At the same time, we recommended replacement of the cylinder to allow fitment of a modern, unvented cylinder. This allowed the removal of all the stored water within the loft space, and any shower pumps within the property. This reduces your liability under insurance from the storage point of view and reduces noise within the property when showers are in use.

We put our proposal forward to the client along with costings which were accepted and we then moved forward to installation. The first thing to do was to remove the existing boiler and then re-fit the new boiler in the cupboard that the original boiler came out of. This required modification of the pipework to allow fitment and fitment of new controls – that’s the picture of the boiler on the wall. We then removed the existing cylinder, modified the pipework as necessary in the airing cupboard and fitted the unvented cylinder including a discharge pipe to allow the house to be updated to a modern installation which gives plenty of hot water and at the same time allowing for a much more economical installation when it comes to running costs.

The client was over the moon with the results and not only did we reduce his electricity bills, but we gave him a far superior supply of water and the heating was far more effective in its use too.

Feedback

For the past few years, James has dealt with all my plumbing requirements and I am so grateful that I found him as I wouldn’t now use anyone else. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy.

He has installed a new boiler for me, serviced the boiler, replaced a sink and other plumbing jobs. He is coming back soon to fit a new bathroom shower, taps and new radiator.

He has also carried out work for my sister (new radiators, replacement shower room) and he installed a new bathroom radiator for my inlaws.

James is very friendly and is a great problem solver. For example, my boiler needed to be replaced and it was a small size that fitted into a cupboard in my hand-made kitchen (i.e., the kitchen was designed around it). The new boiler would not fit in this space so he opted for the cupboard that held the boiler magna-clean unit and associated pipes and although this made things very complicated and more time consuming, he was determined to ensure that I was happy with the boiler still being housed and hidden in the kitchen. It all worked out perfectly and I now have extra space in my kitchen with the use of the old boiler cupboard. All of this came at no additional cost as he did not increase his original quote.

James will always go the extra mile, over and above the call of duty. An example of this is that when I was away on holiday, my inlaws were checking in on my property regularly. When they realised that the heating wasn’t working, as the property was freezing, we contacted James and he immediately came round with an electric heater so that the house was warm on my return.

I must also mention that he did some work for my father who has dementia and he treated him with care and dignity.

I cannot fault James and cannot recommend him highly enough.

We run a nursery and had problems with the existing heating system. James discovered that the pipework that was in a concert base had ruptured and therefore he carried out the work of getting all the pipework above ground and updating / stabilising our central heating – this was a big job that James carried out to the highest standards.

Since then, he has dealt with other plumbing issues for us and is now our preferred plumber of choice for the nursery.

He has always provided us with a great service and excellent after-care. He is also very conscientious about health and safety whilst working in the nursery, ensuring everything is kept clean and tidy and all tools are locked away.

A very affable person and a pleasure to have onsite. 100% trustworthy and I am comfortable to just let him get on with the job in hand without having to check anything.

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
