new installation

[northernstar]

as i said its going to be signed off with gas safe and local council and with wb, i do have second thoughts about using this guy becuase of the price, but being approved by baxi & vallent i was thinking i cant go wrong here along with 000s positive reviews, im going to be taking a day off work (2nd day of fitting) which is i believe thats when the powerflush will be done, i will if i can post pictures on here of the installation and let you guys see the end result

Any installer can become Baxi or Vaillant approved

 

[Riley]

It's as simple as going on some of their training courses

You can check him being gas safe registered online (think it shows a photo as well)

 

[northernstar]

yes he is on the gas safe register

"The bitter flavour of poor quality remains long after the sweet taste of low price has faded."

Someone's been on the baileys...

 

[Riley]

That's almost a cocktail

 

[ShaunCorbs]

By all means post some pics up if you are going with him

But some advice don't pay him till complete / if you do only do 50% until complete/ happy

Something is not going to get done for that money. I guarantee a corner will be cut

Paying the tax man might be overlooked.

 

[northernstar]

i wont be paying him anything until the job has been completed, ive done loads and loads of research watching powerflushes reviewing everything online, went over and over done my homework for sure so i know what the powerflush looks like, i think i need a baileys now

Good luck.

 

[Riley]

Are those dates from his card?

 

[Riley]

I really don't understand why you'd risk your home to save a couple of quid

 

[northernstar]

risking my home? he is a gas safe approved or am i missing something here

 

[ShaunCorbs]

doesnt say the standard will be high tbh anyone these days can get gas safe 6 week course and 4-6K and your gas safe

 

[Riley]

True completely agreed however The price is just not realistic for a qualified engineer running his own business. Something does not add up mate. I am just thinking about you

 

[Riley]

If I were you I would get 2 or three more quotes

i really do appreciate all the replies dont get me wrong, last thing im wanting is not wakening up 1 day (not funny) and a sys thats not going to come back and bite when/if it does breakdown because of sludge, his reviews are going back to 2009 and been doing this for over 14 years inc doing landlords certs, fully insured for £1mill,
ive had 4-5 prices but all been with them supply the unit, so i am just paying for labour only
