Abysmal customer care and communication
We returned from a week away to find our boiler not working early on a Sunday morning. I contacted BHC the same day as they installed and had last serviced the boiler. An engineer attended that afternoon and advised that a new PCB was required. I was also told the manufacturer’s warranty was not valid, and I was quoted over £500.
When the engineer returned a few days later, I was informed that additional parts were needed, increasing the quote by almost £300. At this point I contacted the manufacturer, Alpha, directly.
Alpha confirmed the boiler was still under warranty and sent an engineer within 24 hours. The issue was fully resolved free of charge. Their engineer also queried aspects of the earlier work and diagnosis.
I later tried several times to speak to someone at BHC to clarify the situation but did not receive a call back.
While I appreciate the initial attendance, the incorrect warranty advice, escalating quotes, and lack of follow-up left me without heating and hot water unnecessarily. Based on this experience, I would not choose to use BHC again.
After leaving a review on another site, I have been contacted by the company months later regarding payment for the parts and work carried out, even though the part fitted did not resolve the issue and the fault was ultimately fixed under the manufacturer’s warranty. My replies have never been responded to or acknowledged.
While the firm may perform well when everything goes smoothly, my experience showed that when things do not go according to plan, the service and accountability fall short. I feel it is important to include this as part of my overall experience
