Great service

The local plumber called Ideal regarding my boiler. They arrived first thing next morning. The representative was very polite and dealt with the problem swiftly and professionally. Said if I experienced any further problems not to hesitate to call back.

This guarantee is worth the paper it's written on

Our system boiler is 8 years into it's 10 year guarantee and whilst it didn't fail, it began to make a loud noise when igniting. I called the helpline and the staff member I dealt with was very friendly and organised and engineer visit but warned it might be two weeks away. The next day I received a message from the engineer to say he would be with me the next day, which was a Saturday.
The problem was quickly fixed - it was dirt in the gas valve, and a new valve was fitted. The boiler is back to it's best.

Break down and service contract was…

Break down and service contract was easy to set up and although we have only gad to use the breakdown element once, the engineer was able to rectify the issue in a timely and professional manner. Annual service now carried out twice and very happy with the work carried out. Ideal have been easy to deal with as we had to rearrange this Years annual service as the date offered initially was clashing with our time out of the Country. Ideal were very helpful in rearranging the date for us to our satisfaction. All in all a very positive experience.

Noisey boiler

From the first phone call to the engineer arriving they were very professional and helpful. Even when I had to change the engineer appointment at short notice it was no trouble at all to get an alternative date. Overall an excellent experience

Timely and efficient

It was nice to sort my problem via a phone call. The engineer came within two days of my call to Ideal. (This I assured them was fine as they offered to look for something sooner). The work was done quickly and efficiently. The part was covered by warranty.
