Routine annual service

Routine annual service. The engineer was thorough going above and beyond expectations, fixing a fault on the thermostat after we were anticipating the worst. Bravo Ideal. System working perfectly.

The engineer, I believe his name was Ben, was incredibly helpful, professional, and efficient. He completed the job to a high standard and took the time to ensure everything was thoroughly tested before he left. I was very impressed with his attention to detail and excellent service.
