You shall at your own expense obtain all necessary consents for the installation of the works, including (without installation) building regulations and planning consents, consents from neighbours and mortgages.

This provision does not exclude the company’s responsibility for damage, which is beyond what is reasonably commensurate with the installation. It is anticipated that certain areas in your home may need redecoration following completion of the central heating installation. This will be your responsibility and is not included in the price.

If during the execution of the works, asbestos is encountered, the company reserves the right to withdraw its installation staff immediately until the site is made safe. The cost of removing asbestos is not included in the price. However, the company upon request of the customer will provide a cost for removing asbestos and will add this fee to the total quote.

27. We try our best to finish the job on hand prior to 6 pm but on certain occasions, overtime might be needed.

28. Changes in the water pressure and damage to existing plumbing might occur after the installation. We are not liable for such changes or damages which might take place due to the incompatibility of existing pipework, showers, taps, valves or any appliances.

29. For safety and health reasons, our engineers must have access to working communication devices. The customer agrees to provide our engineers with access to his telephone or internet connection if our engineer is unable to get mobile phone coverage and reception.

30. Products and building materials have different ranges of colours, textures and the way they look. We are not responsible for these variations. Finding a suitable match might not be possible. We hold no responsibility and shall not be liable to for matching materials.

34. According to Construction Regulations, workers need to have access to welfare facilities such as a toilet, washing facilities, drinking water and facilities for rest in a warm indoor area. If you wish for the company to find an alternative arrangement for these facilities, then we must be notified earlier.

35. Your order as accepted is subject to the condition that there must be an adequate gas supply to the dwelling prior to the commencement of the work. Without prejudice to the company’s rights where such supply is not laid to enable work to commence, the company may cancel the contract and shall not have any liability for any costs, loss or damage arising from such cancellation. In certain circumstances, the size of the existing gas rate cannot always be determined. If a new gas line is required, this will be charged at our standard hourly rates as set out and will be in addition to the quoted price.

36. Where the company needs to connect new equipment to your existing plumbing or heating system, it will not accept liability for the cost of repairing or replacing parts of your existing system, which subsequently develops faults. In certain situations, the company may charge for visits made to your home by the company’s engineer if your system is faulty or has developed a fault after the installation has been conducted. The company will not accept liability where your central heating system does not function properly because your water supply becomes inadequate, or the water pressure becomes invariable.

37. Let’s Heat accepts no responsibility for any existing installations that are present. This relates not only to any pipework, radiators and radiator valves, heating valves, pumps, shower pumps, electrical controls and/or bathroom / WC services that might be affected as a result of a conversion from a tank-fed system to a sealed system or from power flushing of pipework and radiators. This change to a higher pressure-rated system and power flushing can cause leaks in components that Let’s Heat will not be liable for. Any cost of repairs for which Let’s Heat is not liable will be charged in accordance with our standard company charges. If your system is excessively full of magnetite and sludge, a further power flush might be required at some point later (e.g. 3 years). Further power flushes will be chargeable at our standard power flush rates as shown on our website. Furthermore, if the buyer has requested that an existing appliance be re-installed or moved (e.g. boiler), Let’s Heat accepts no liability for any internal leaks or malfunctions of this boiler, as a direct result of this installation.

The steps of installation:

 1. Your current heating system will be disconnected and removed. To protect your house from any damage we use a dust sheet.

2. We will install your new boiler according to the highest standards. On some occasions, your gas supply pipe will need to be upgraded.

3. Our engineers always work carefully to cause as little disturbance to brickwork as possible.

4. Your system will then undergo the flushing process.

5. Your new boiler and system will be tested by our installers who will not leave the site without ensuring your system is working properly. Safety checks will also be carried out.

6. Our engineers will take pictures of the work they accomplish for our records. These pictures might be used for marketing.

7. Unwanted materials such as packaging, your old boiler, the storage tank, pipework and hot water cylinder will be removed and disposed of properly.

8. If you wish to keep your old materials, then we must be informed in advance so that these items will not be included in the removal agreement.

9. The tank in your loft will not be needed anymore after you convert to a combi boiler. We can remove it if we are requested by the customer to do so. However, in some cases, it will be impossible to remove. In such a case, it will be only decommissioned.

4. In case you face a problem with your boiler during the warranty period, you should reach out to the manufacturer. However, if you have an only-parts warranty of 12 months and haven’t extended it, then you’ll need a third-party engineer to attend and fix your problem.

However, any existing components or pipework not changed

are not included in this guarantee. Furthermore, all boilers need to be serviced annually to remain under warranty. If the warranty becomes void due to the appliance not being serviced, then Let’s Heat accepts no responsibility for this. We will contact our clients to remind them to have it serviced, but the responsibility of having it done lies with the customer.

6. Up to 12 years warranty the length of warranty is dependent on the brand of boiler, the uptake of an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer to maintain the warranty and other recommendations including filters and power flush. The warranty period will not be extended even if we repair or replace any product or part.

7. If we replace any component or product, the part or product removed will become our property. Any claim made under the terms and conditions of the warranty must be made within the warranty period.

10. Guarantees will be null and void if payments aren’t made on the due date.

11. Neither the company nor the manufacturer will be liable to repair or fix damages caused as a result of vandalism, circumstances outside our control or variation in the flow rate of water to any fitted equipment.

12. Any existing controls, timers, towel rails, radiators, pipework, drains, other equipment or other devices are not included in any warranty offered.

13. We are under no obligation to visually inspect or test existing equipment unless it is part of their regulatory duties.

Vulnerable Customer Policy:

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that our operations don’t have any negative impact on vulnerable customers. For the purposes of this policy, vulnerable customers are customers and prospective customers whose ability or circumstances require us to take extra precautions in the way we sell and provide our services, ensuring they aren’t disadvantaged in any way.

We understand a vulnerable customer to be someone who is especially susceptible to harm, particularly when a business is not acting with appropriate levels of care. Vulnerable customers are individuals who are deemed to be more at risk of ‘detriment’ due to their personal circumstances for a range of reasons, including short-term, long-term, or permanent emotional, mental, physical, financial, or social circumstances.

We recognise that certain groups of customers may be vulnerable. Whilst not all customers in these groups may be vulnerable, we will consider a customer’s individual circumstances where a potential vulnerability is identified. These groups may include, but are not restricted to:

• Customers with communication difficulties (including learning difficulties and English not being their first language, dyslexia)
• A customer with a reduction in physical or mental capacity
• Customers with health issues – illness, whether physical or mental illness, severe or long-term
• A sudden diagnosis of serious illness to the customer or close family member
• Personal circumstances of the customer – factors such as financial difficulties, bereavement, caring responsibilities or redundancy
• The customers age particularly older and younger people. For example, a younger person may be considered inexperienced and the older person may be less technologically able

Our staff are trained to identify vulnerable customers so we can take extra steps to assist outside of our standard procedures. However, it is not always possible to recognise these characteristics. Therefore, if you believe you may fit the criteria for a vulnerable customer, please read this policy and notify us immediately of your particular needs.

As soon we think we may be engaging with a vulnerable customer, whether this is through our identification or you are approaching us, we will:

• Immediately make a record of this and ensure we adhere to this policy
• Provide additional opportunities for you to ask questions about the information we have provided
• Continuously seek confirmation that you have understood the information that has been provided
• Ask if there is anybody with you who can assist. If not, and we believe this will be beneficial, we will make arrangements to continue with the subject matter at another time
• Offer you the opportunity to complete the transaction after a period of further consideration

If we can’t help a customer, we will try and make sure that they understand what alternative options are available to them.

Business Complaint Procedure

Upon receipt of your complaint, the business aims to respond within 5 days.

The business will arrange a convenient date to come and view and/or remedy the situation.

In the unlikely event the business is unable to resolve your complaint having exhausted the business complaints procedure, it may be necessary to use another complaint service. Where the business cannot resolve the complaint to your satisfaction and/or agree to the final resolution requests confirmed to us; and both parties agree a ‘deadlock’ has been reached, you can then escalate your complaint.

All complaints must be submitted by email at ( [email protected] ) or through our Contact Us page (https://letsheat.co.uk/contact-us ) using the enquiry form. A member of staff will review the complaint and respond in due course with feedback and/or a resolution. It is very important as a company we review the complaint in depth which may take some time, but we aim to resolve all complaints and provide any resolutions within 7 days of receiving them. If the complaint includes insurance companies and/or external bodies then the 30 days may increase due to circumstances out of our control. The Company is not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or business opportunity under any circumstances.
