After over a year of weak showers and inconsistent hot water, I finally faced up to one of the…read morebiggest downsides of being a homeowner - replacing the aging boiler. Decision made, it was time to do some research and find a plumber to handle the installation. Enter Google which quickly sent my hopes for a quick and easy job crashing down as story after story of being ripped off on labour charges or boilers that needed repairs due to faulty installation. Long story short, I found a pretty solid company (after an exhaustive search) called Heat, Light, & Power which provided a clean installation, impeccable customer service, and an overall stress-free environment. I started with RatedPeople.com to locate a boiler specialist with good reviews and found a local plumber with a handful of positive feedback. They offered a free quote so I rescheduled my evening plans to get it sorted. The plumber took a cursory look around the place, suggested an unvented boiler to bring my hot water up to mains pressure, and then left without taking any measurements. A few days later I got the quote: £1,800 with little other detail. Being an avid reviewer and blogger, I find it hard to take things at face value without either having experience myself or reading other people's reviews. So a boiler without a review and scant detail from the plumber (I was told several times to stop asking questions and just accept the quote) isn't really going to work for me. Enter Heat, Light, & Power which got in touch with me through Thermaflow (a top-end boiler manufacturer that offers a free referral service). From the start HLP were head and shoulders above the previous guys. It seems to be a small family run operation, but this is a positive rather than a draw back. Le runs the admin and customer service realm and was a delight to work with. She responded to emails within hours if not minutes and provided a wealth of detail in both the original quote and follow up emails to my questions. Le also efficiently organized both the initial free survey and the installation around my schedule which meant I didn't have to take any time off work. The main engineer is Keith, a friendly guy who exudes a reassuring degree of competence and confidence. He came over for the initial survey and took a close look at the plumbing and electrics and explained in considerable detail why he recommended an unvented cylinder boiler and the type of work that would go into the installation. By the end of the survey, I actually felt as though I knew a good deal about the boiler and works required so for once was without any questions. During the installation, a similar degree of assurance was provided with Keith being onsite to supervise the installation and ensure the disruption was kept to a minimum. Although the work took two days, they were careful to leave the flat clean after the first day and store the equipment out of the way to the point it was barely noticeable. When there was a minor leak from a fitting the day after the installation, Keith rushed over at 7.30am to sort it out and offered to come back if there was any damage (thankfully there was none!). A couple of key things that really distinguish these guys from the usual mob is that a) they turned up exactly on time and b) they didn't try to up sell or install unnecessary equipment. I had actually asked for a timer which wasn't installed as Keith didn't believe it would be cost-efficient given the tariff I was on. That's a fairly rare quality that they'll go against an order if they believe it to be unnecessary expense and I appreciated it. Keith also fixed my kitchen light switch for free as he said it was a simple 5-minute job - that's above and beyond for taking care of your customers! It's been about a month and so far no problems. I'd definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking for plumbing or electrical work and they'll be my first call for any future projects!

Unfortunately, my experience was far from 'fast' and efficient. I called in a plumber to sort out the leak under my sink. Unfortunately, it was out of his capabilities as the leak was inside the building wall. I have asked the plumber, named Meguid, to have a look at the shower head that also has a leakage issue. Meguid did not have the parts with him but tightened the existing fitting and secured it with a tape, and offered to come back with necessary parts if it continues to leak. The leak indeed occurred again, so I tried calling Meguid to get him to come back with the necessary parts. To sum it up, I had to chase him by calling twice a week over a period of 5 weeks trying to arrange for him to come back. On various occasions he answered my calls, every time coming up with excuses and promising to call back. Never happened! So I gave up on waiting, and called RedMound and complained. They took 2 weeks to investigate and their solution was to call another plumber, pay full call charge again plus the charge for the parts. I wasted 7 weeks waiting for them to sort out what is a relatively simple issue and they do not feel responsible for the wrong doing and attitudes of their plumbers.
