Customer reviews:

• Name of the customer– Bob
• Rating– 5 out of 5 stars
• Feedback– Very efficient service

Detail- Marc arrived on time, throughout his visit, he satisfied all COVID-19 face covering and distancing guidelines in a very competent manner. He asked relevant questions about the boiler issue whilst removing the front panel. He determined the problem very quickly and explained his diagnosis whilst he set about the repair. When he had done a few minutes later he told me what he had done and assured me that he didn’t think I’d have any further trouble. I cannot fault the service at all, from my initial phone call to the problem being fixed the service was extremely efficient, top marks to Potterton.

• Name of the customer– Mr. Kim Wedgbury
• Rating– 4 out of 5 stars
• Feedback– The engineer was fine

Detail- The engineer was fine, arrived within the given timescale was courteous and professional. He identified the problem within an hour but this meant a replacement part due to the age of the heater he does not carry. Therefore, it had to be ordered. So far so good. Except that it would be a week to get a slot for him to come back and fit it. We have been without hot water for 11 days already. What I would like to know is whether Potterton prioritizes emergency calls i.e., no hot water at all over routine servicing calls? The engineer is not now available for a week. IF some of that unavailability is due to routine servicing, I would expect Potterton to rearrange one of those calls to make space for an emergency repair. I do not know if Potterton is able or willing to do this – so no hot water for another week.

• Name of the customer- Kirsty
• Rating– 5 out of 5 stars
• Feedback– New Year’s Eve – what a wonderful time for a Boiler Breakdown…

Detail- Our Boiler stopped working on the morning of New Year’s Eve (Thursday) which was a complete nightmare as we had no hot water or heating. Speaking to a Neighbour they spoke very highly of Potterton coming out direct so we made the call.

Lady we spoke to was very efficient in a friendly manner and explained the options to us & we went for the monthly payments over the year (for the same price as the one-off call out fee).

Being Bank Holiday Weekend we understood Monday was the quickest they could get here & the chap came this morning as agreed, having phoned to say what time we could expect him.

A professional service all round and we are very pleased – would highly recommend it.

FAQs:

What is a condensing boiler?

A condensing boiler makes more of the energy it runs on by using heat normally expelled through the flue. By converting over 90% of the fuel used (rather than just 50% in the case of some old boilers), a condensing boiler makes your fuel go further. Therefore, a condensing boiler can help to save 30% on your fuel bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

What is a combi boiler? 

Combi is short for “combination”. It refers to the way this type of system serves as both a central heating boiler and a water heater. That means there is no need for a water tank, as hot water is provided on demand. As well as saving the space normally taken up by a water tank (in the loft or airing cupboard), a combi boiler saves on hot water costs as well as giving you hot water at mains pressure.

What is the minimum water pressure requirements for your boilers?

All products need a minimum of 1 bar.

Does Potterton Commercial offer optional room controls and thermostats?

Yes, for more information please refer to the specific sales literature for each unit that we supply. A complete range of controls for the Paramount five, Eurocondense five, and Sirius boilers is available. These improve functionality for some of the advanced benefits of the range including zone control, compensation, optimisation, and hot water control. Up to 12 boilers and 12 zones can be accommodated.

Can Potterton Commercial products run on LPG?

Yes, our entire product range can be adapted to LPG except for the Sirius FS 400kW and 525kW models.

Real-World Use Case:

by Thomas Screene

I phoned Potterton on Wednesday 30 Dec 2020 reporting that the Boiler that they had recently serviced, (27 Nov) was now experiencing problems. ( i.e. losing pressure all the time)

They confirmed a Visit by the Engineer for 4 Jan 2020

I should expect a call from him in the morning for the visit.

which I duly received from Engineer Steve at 0800 on 4 Jan 2021

He confirmed that the visit time would be between 1100 and 1400

I asked if he could phone later with an update nearer the time – he said he would

I then received a call at 1040 saying that his ETA would be 1115- I met Steve outside the property exactly on time.

He quickly ascertained the problem – Leaking PRV and Deflated Expansion vessel and set about correcting the faults, and whilst working on the boiler spotted a leak on the 3-way valve which he also repaired.

I must say that this work was carried out with the utmost professionalism from the response time (it was over Xmas / New Year!) from the office staff to Steve on site

Many Thanks to all!

Tom
