Inspection of existing faulty combi boiler; Contract Heating’s engineer, Eric, was diligent and pragmatic with his advice and recommendation, leaving us to decide to replace the boiler with a new one.
They came back with a quote on the same day which we reviewed and accepted, and fitted the new boiler two days later.
The installing engineer, Dean, was meticulous, tidy and very well-mannered.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Contract Heating to anyone else.

I have used contract heating for around ten tears. They are responsive, adaptable and very knowledgeable about their products in general.
In this instance i had an emergency call out that was dealt with and fixed within 2 hours which was fantastic- i was delighted with the professionalism and communication provided.

Thank you so much for such amazing service. From the person on the phone with the initial phone call who gave great advice on the phone. The next day Graham Quinn the Engineer was friendly and professional. He assessed and quickly identified the problem. He then went out of his way to source a part within an hour. A great professional service from the company. I can highly recommend.

Contract Heating has serviced our elderly J&S warm air central heating efficiently for years. Its thermocouple failed suddenly, leaving us shivering. Contact Heating came out the next day with a new part and fixed it in 20 minutes. Can't recommend their service and workmanship enough.

I had all the landlord electric and gas checks performed on a two bed flat. From first contact to finishing the job customer care and communication was excellent. Surpassed my expectations, especially as the cost was lower than I had been charged by other traders. Will be using them again, they are now my go to for landlord checks.

Contract Heating were such a professional set up from the get go. I have a new town property that structurally was causing me a headache to get a new boiler fitted. They visited a few times to help me find a solution for how the boiler flue would be fitted, provided me with help to submit planning application which subsequently failed. Then we found another solution which I’m more than happy with! Initially accepting that I would lose some living room space with a stud wall needing to go up, Ross did an exceptional job on keeping the pipework neatly adjacent to the ceiling meaning minimal space will be lost and I couldn’t be happier with the result!
FYI joiner will be boxing the pipe work in shortly.

I've had a Service Contract with Contract Heating for almost 25 years now, and am now on my second boiler installation with them. The first was due to the age & poor reliability of the boiler which was in the flat when I bought it, and last week I had a new boiler installed after the current one was damaged irreparably when the roof was torn off our tenement during the recent storm, tearing the boiler flue right out of the boiler and off through the ceiling, leaving water to pour in and run through the boiler for a number of days!)
I had the new boiler installed in a day, only three days after calling to arrange the job (following an estimator visit the week previously). The engineer was there at 8am as promised, and was very friendly, efficient and did a great job getting the old boiler out, the new one in and then dealing with a minor electrical issue in conjunction with a Contract Heating electrician, caused by the strange wiring to the hall cupboard in my flat. He also worked in conjunction with my roofers to get the new flue installed whilst they were finishing off putting a new roof on the building, ensuring that the new roof guarantee wasn't voided before it had even started.
Everything was tided away and hoovered before he left, so you wouldn't even have known that he'd been there - and he ran me through the new boiler controls and features, the new condensate pump and the CO detector as well as explaining about the flue, firestop and the ceiling void so I had the necessary answers should my insurance assessors ask me about it later.
He also knew his stuff about bacterial risks too - I was advised to run the hot water until my HW tank was fully heated up to the 70C set on the boiler in order to kill off any nasties that had been growing in there over the two weeks since I'd lost the boiler, then to run the hot water tap in the bath until the water went cold. After that, once the tank was full of hot water again later, I'd be safe to use it.
As I have been since first becoming a customer all those years ago, I was delighted yet again with the amazing service from Contract Heating, and overjoyed to have heating and hot water again after two very cold and uncomfortable weeks waiting for the new roof installation to be at a stage where the boiler and chimney work could be done.
I am a confirmed customer for life!

The service I received was second to none.
When the work was carried out the first engineer was courteous and friendly.
Unfortunately (due to a faulty part) a different engineer (also courteous and friendly) had to attend the following day to work out why my radiators hadn't re-started following the boiler flush.
He arrived in a timely manner and persisted for some time to work out what was going on. He then fixed the problem and waited to ensure all the radiators were functioning properly.
I then received an unprompted courtesy call a few days later to check everything was still OK before being invoiced.
All in all an excellent customer experience!

I had my Boiler serviced and Ian from Contract Heating was so helpful and also shut off a gas pipe so I could install an electric Hob. He guided me on installation etc. Ian also said to send in type of Bosch appliances I was buying and he would check if they were suitable.
Keith then came to install my new Hob and Oven and he was so kind and installed them both so quickly. Keith took the old appliances away which was so helpful.
My experience of Contact Heating has been extremely good and everyone has been so helpful and professional in every way.

We had our old domestic boiler removed and a new one fitted. The speed and efficiency of the work was remarkable - our first call was made on the Monday and the installation was completed on the Friday of the same week.
The level of service and professionalism was outstanding at all times - the first telephone contact, the initial visit to prepare an estimate, the issue of the estimate and follow up, and the installation were all handled seamlessly. Everyone we interacted with with polite and helpful, and we were lucky to have an amazing engineer doing the installation work. Well done everyone !!
Fantastic service at a good price, we have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Contract Heating engineer Rob called yesterday to repair a leak in my 12 year old Ariston combi boiler. He did a great job! and Contract Heating went some extra miles for me yesterday. Rob called in the afternoon, identified the spare part required for the repair, went back to his office and returned to my property the same afternoon to replace the manifold - all done in the one afternoon and your office co-ordinated that another engineer called at my home with the spare part. Rob had to dismantle part of my kitchen unit to access the job properly. He worked on until after 6.30pm to finish the repair , put my kitchen back together again and tidied up everything perfectly before leaving.
Previously this year I had had 3 visits following the scheduled boiler service in June. Over last months, I had been topping up the boiler pressure myself several times, and with this current leak , I was beginning to lose confidence in Contract Heating's ability to fix my boiler properly , and I was even starting to think they were nudging me towards getting a new boiler!
Rob was aware of this yesterday and he took the time to explain all the previous visits and the work carried out in detail. He said my boiler could be repaired 100%. His work on the repair yesterday and his explanation of the job he was doing on my boiler has restored my belief and faith in Contract Heating. He also told me about the number of qualified engineers employed - 30 + - and the Contract Heating training academy and gave me a different perspective on this family run business.
They have , in fact, never let me down in my 12 years as a customer and I'm happy to continue my contract for the coming year and now have no hesitation in recommending Contract Heating .

Contract Heating installed a new combi boiler for me & upgraded all the plumbing, removed old water tanks etc…
When my old boiler initially broke down, the company sent an engineer out the next day and provided detailed quotes with various options for replacement. The work was then agreed & booked in within a matter of days. The price was also very reasonable.
The engineers, Johnny & Lachlan were punctual, knowledgeable, professional, courteous and managed to finish the job a day early.
I received a courtesy call the next day to make sure I was happy & was provided with my warranty paperwork etc which they registered on my behalf.
An efficient, well run business - I’d highly recommend.

Contract Heating services my gas boiler annually. Last Wednesday, Calum arrived on time and carried out the service professionally and efficiently, also checking my meter and linked appliances such as my radiator to check the internal fluid was of sufficient standard. He took the time to explain to me what he was doing and why each step was necessary. Calum took photographs and these were included with my invoice and accompanying safety report. A very thorough safety check by a very pleasant Calum, which is reassuring. Thank you.
I will certainly go to Contract Heating again next year and would highly recommend the company.

I've been using Contract Heating for over ten years. Every time we need a big job done in one of our properties, I always shop around, but always end up going back to them because I know I can trust them and they'll get the job done with the minimum of fuss. I phoned on the Tuesday to say the boiler in our rental flat was broken, Graham attended on the Wednesday and quickly identified the problem. Unfortunately it was more economical to replace than repair. A new one was fitted by Johnny on the Friday. This is just the level of service I have come to expect from Contract Heating; they're efficient, the team are professional and courteous, the office staff are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and I highly recommend them as a local business.

As a landlord, I contacted Contract Heating on a Tuesday because I needed to have some regulatory checks completed as quickly as possible. CH had the job done by the following Friday - three days later. I was impressed with their speed of response, whether by phone or email from the office. The phone was always answered and calls were followed up. The two engineers turned up within the time slot I was given and they completed the jobs efficiently, good chat too :)
I really liked the CH tracker which was sent to me by text. I could see where my job was in the list and where the engineer was on the map. Very reassuring and all in all great value for money. Would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Christine and her team did a fantastic job and spent significant time to resolve our issue. The boiler and installation was good however the exemplary after sales service was over and above and really reflects very well on the company and their team.

As a family and as a business involved in property, we have used Contract Heating for many years.
My mum had a new boiler installed a few years ago but when it stopped working, the manufacturer couldn't have cared less, despite the fact that it was still under warranty.
She is 77 years of age and they wouldn't even give her a day for an engineer to attend.
I rang Contract Heating to explain the situation and they were kind enough to arrange a same-day visit. It was sorted within minutes.
Special thanks to Leanne, who went above and beyond to help, proving that no matter what size of job, a personal service is incredibly important to them.
My mum was delighted to take out a service contract with Contract Heating, just to never ever have to deal with some call centre in England fronted by an extremely sarcastic man.
Thank-you to Contract Heating for saving the day! I know my mum is now in such safe hands.

I had the company arrange all five of my house letting certificates in one hit which was a Godsend for someone who is not always at the property. All completed in day and time agreed and certs provided. A call out for Patrick Hannigan who spent much time answering all the points from an extensive fire safety Cert document I was unsure of following the visit (which was most of them). Really great service and he gave some great follow up advice. Will use them again for sure!

Contract Heating have serviced and repaired our boiler for a few years. This time our boiler developed a fault too expensive to repair. The company provided a highly detailed and competitive estimate to install a new remotely monitored Ariston combi-boiler.
The service engineers are professional and undertake their work with great care. The installation engineers, Ross and Lewis, did a fantastic job. They straightened the new pipework, replaced the flue, flushed the system and set up the new boiler.
Flushing the system appears to have improved the temperature of radiators and we look forward to a warmer home next winter. The Ariston boiler looks smart, is smaller than the old boiler and provides hot water more consistently.

Installation of a new fuse box and associated electrical work.
Ryan did a brilliant job. Considering the difficulties that the job provided he thought up novel solutions and remained determined to complete the job. He is an asset to Contract Heating, I hope he continues to do well.

Both Leanne who took my calls and organised appointments and Andrew McLeod who came out and did the work were excellent. I needed PAT and Fire risk tests for my Airbnb properties. I found them friendly, professional, helpful and timely and I would highly recommend this company to any other airbnb people and landlords.

I'm a tenant in a rented property and, as such, am unable to comment on the cost of work carried out (but there's no 'not applicable' in the rating scale for that). In terms of customer service, my comment relates to the consideration that Contract Heating's team still take in terms of precaution against spreading Covid-19. As an immuno-compromised person who remains in near-total isolation during the ongoing pandemic, it's a grave concern that few others still appreciate that protections are even necessary, let alone be prepared to implement them.
If you're in the Edinburgh area in similar circumstances, in my experience staff are receptive to concerns about contractors wearing masks when they enter a property; I'd mentioned in advance that this would be necessary, expecting the incredulity or dismissal that's become common, only to receive assurance that at least one of their employees still takes their own PPE to every assignment. Ask for Kenny, who was also considerate and proficient in every other aspect of the work carried out. Thanks once again,

Excellent service from contract heating as usual. Not only did they fix our central heating quickly and efficiently over Christmas they also went out to help my elderly mother whose central heating stopped working on Christmas Eve. From the engineers to the staff in the office, everyone was so efficient, helpful and understanding. Thank you so much

Fantastic work by Contract Heating once more.
Whenever an issue arises they have always been top drawer in terms of both quality workmanship, professionalism, speed and accuracy.

Consistently they are excellent. Work is always of the highest standard and they know the technical issues so well.

We have had a new boiler installed, plus extensive pipework replacement. This work was finished today, the whole job taking 3days as we had been advised initially.
The engineer, Rob Hamilton was unfailingly friendly, courteous, always letting us know what he hoped to be doing on a particular day and extremely hard working. An apprentice, Dean was assisting Rob today and he too was very polite and respectful.
We are delighted with the new boiler and will definitely be more than happy to recommend Contract Heating.

My boiler system was flushed to remove iron solid sludge and an magnetic filter was fitted in line with the boiler water system. Rob Hamilton and Dean provided a friendly, efficient and very professional service. The quality of the finished water was very clear and the the clarity should be maintained by the insertion of rust inhibitor and cleaning of the filter during the annual service. This was an impressive service from my point of view.

I had booked an annual boiler service. Graham Pryde, the engineer, arrived and I asked him to check if we had a gas leak as I had noticed a strange smell. He went above and beyond to ensure that our gas was not cut off overnight. He found the leak and resolved the issue and then still went on to service the boiler which definitely made him late finishing for the day.
We also received a call from the office reassuring us that the issue would be resolved.
An excellent service and a professional, friendly engineer…. Thank you

Alan Reid and and Rob Hamilton absolutely went the extra mile to get this job complete in order that we could continue to remain open and able to provide childcare.

Rob Hamilton and his team fitted our new Ariston Boiler on 22/12. This was carried out in one day instead of two as it had been booked in for the 29/12 & 30/12 and we were very surprised when they turned up a week early. Rob stayed late to complete the installation to inconvenience us as little as possible. We are very happy with the work carried out. The new boiler works really well and Rob & his team were courteous and observed covid regulations.

A terminally ill boiler the week before Christmas. I phoned Tuesday, the engineer called the next day - efficient and friendly. fault diagnosed, part ordered - called when later that day to say part arrived - full quote given - the next day, Thursday, part fitted, all fixed by 10:30am.
Very good service, fast, efficient and extremely helpful. Hot water and a warm house for Christmas.
The best part was that the labour cost was so reasonable - only £120 for short notice emergency, and the subsequent repair.
I cannot recommend more highly - and, unlike British Gas - not tut-tutting and attempts to upsell etc.

At a time when I have completely lost faith and grown ever frustrated with the service standards and customer relations operations of many other service suppliers, Contract Heating is an outstanding example of how a company should operate.

Our boiler had served us for 18 years. Serviced annually by Contract Heating. It was time to replace the boiler before it would eventually breakdown.
We had an estimate by Contact Heating for a new Ariston Boiler.
Delighted with the price.
It was installed in one day. Installation team talked us through every stage.
We now feel the difference with new boiler and house heating. It is remotely monitored by Contract Heating and Ariston for any fault to be detected immediately.
We have a handheld device to set heating . Super.
I wish to compliment Contract Heating and the Installation team.

Contract Heating has serviced my gas boiler for12/15 years and over last few years kept it going despite its age. Decided would replace it before winter set in and got 3 quotes, surprised to find Contract Heating marginally, least expensive of the three. Discussed details with supervisor Craig and got all the answers I needed, accepted quote and within 7 days new boiler delivered and installed including arranging sub-contractor.
Alan and Johnnie arrived as arranged, took ownership of the job and I was comfortable to leave them to get on with it. Estimate had been one and half days but completed in one. New boiler doing its job, installation flawless, guys punctual, smart, cleaned up fully after they had finished, all waste and old boiler removed that afternoon.
Could not fault Alan and Johnnie in any way and good back-up from Craig, and Jodie in the office. Would recommend them without hesitation.

I’ve been using Contract Heating for over a decade; both for our own home and our rental property, and I have always been happy with their work. For this job, Eric and his team re-routed some gas piping and replaced the broken heat exchanger on our home boiler. All the work was done within 4 hours to a high standard with no mess and no fuss. The quote was also the lowest out of 3 reputable companies we approached for an estimate. Highly recommended.

First heard of Contract Heating in 2008 and used them until I moved away in 2020. They are reliable, skilful and courteous. Their prices are always fair and the work is first class. They conserved my ageing Worcester boiler in an older property and upgraded the heating system making it more sensitive and responsive. Their one-off non-contractual charging system for annual services makes them very competitive.

We have used Contract Heating Ltd to service our boiler in our house for the last 3-4 years. We are now remodelling our kitchen and we employed Contract Heating to renew our boiler and adjust the pipework to relocate the new boiler in a new position in the kitchen along with a new radiator . They undertook all the works in a very professional manner. The installation team for our new boiler was led by Rob Hamilton, and he had Mark and Austin working with him. They were all polite, Covid respectful and their standard of work was excellent. They were in our house for 3 days and always kept their work area clean and tidy. Every day they cleaned up after them and turned up every day at the time they said they would. I have had a similar positive experience during the three years of servicing our old boiler. I have got to know a few of the Contract Heating engineers over the last few years and it is always to good to hear reports from them about the high regard they have for Contract Heating as a company. I would recommend Contract Heating unreservedly.

Short version - If you are a small scale private landlord (I have <10 flats) you are not the kind of customer ContractHeating want or will look after these days.
Longer version - I used their landlord services for about 10 years and they used to be fine but I have got more and more unhappy with their service as they have grown. Boiler service contracts - as soon as you have one year where it costs them more than your annual premium they do not renew. DD debits continued to be taken even when service contract cancelled BY THEM. Their quotes for new boilers are not competitive in my experience. I did have them replace one and it was a nightmare with them having to come back several times because of issues with the flue siting, eventually resulting in me having to have the boiler relocated. Recent electrical fault is final straw, fault not even identified and unnecessary, unrelated work was done and then quoted another day's investigative work being required which could not be scheduled by them for approx 2 weeks, meantime tenants with no power. Another electrical firm identified the problem in 5 minutes and fixed it in about 30 mins on a same day call out. ContractHeating also wanted to charge me for an EICR which reported a fail due to the fault I called them out for and they did not fix! When I complained ContractHeating boss Pat said he was happy with his guy's work, but they would not charge me for that visit. Then when the next routine safety check came up on another flat a few weeks later he asked did I still want to work with them. I said OK, because I had not looked at alternatives - this stuff is just a chore. Then he came back and said well they would rather not continue our relationship. Why didn't he just say that in the first place? So agreed that will I take my business elsewhere, and having looked at alternatives there are certainly several that offer better value for money on the face of it, and the recent service standards from ContractHeating can't be hard to beat.

Removal of old gas central heating boiler and installation of a new one. The people working with this company were all very professional, communicative and helpful. This includes the staff answering the telephone, the engineers and the joiner. They turned-up when they said they would, kept me informed about progress and next steps, and they were careful about tidiness. The initial cost estimate provided was based on a thorough on-site survey and conversation. The final cost was just below the estimate. In summary, very professional and very reliable.

I have used Contract Heating in my own home and in a church manse for several years and have always had excellent service. At Christmas 2020 the manse heating boiler came to the end of its life. Despite the obvious difficulties of timing and weather (external boiler room) a new boiler was fitted within a day and heating to the manse restored. A further visit was scheduled to install new controls and flush the system which also went well. I was completely satisfied with the care and attention given by the Design Engineer Craig Hunter and the two Installation Engineers, Alan and Dean. Covid procedures were properly applied and the manse family have expressed their appreciation of the respectful way in which work within every room of the manse was carried out. I can recommend Contract Heating without hesitation.

Alan Reid and Dean were brilliant and very professional at all times. The new boiler was up and running in no time and Alan and Dean even cleaned up, moved all of our furniture back for us and even set our timers back on the new boiler. Great job- thanks!

Rob Hamilton and Austen from Contract Heating completed a Combi Boiler installation and conversion. From start to finish the work and the results were professional, prompt, and above best expectations. They even left us with heating and hot water after Day-1 before continuing the next day. They arrived on time, left everywhere clean and tidy, and removed all surplus packing and materials. They're good guys too. The new boiler and piping work looks great. Not a single gripe, hence a score of 5. Thanks guys!

I have used Contract Heating Ltd since 2014 using the company to carry out annual PAT testing, boiler repairs, installation of hot water tank & most recently EICR testing.
On every occasion I have found the staff to be most helpful & their engineers to be friendly carrying out the works efficiently & to a high standard.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company based on my dealings with them over the years.

Annual Boiler Service
I had forgotten all about the annual boiler service until Contract Heating sent a friendly email reminder, I booked an appointment and Graham arrived a couple of days later at a time to suit me. The staff in the office whether you speak to them by phone or email are extremely friendly and helpful - the engineers who attend are always very polite, smartly dressed, friendly, professional and efficient, they tidy up as they go and leave the house in the same condition as when they arrive. You can also track your engineer to get an indication of arrival time. I would highly recommend Contract Heating.

Our central heating boiler had broken down and we phoned Contract Heating. An engineer was sent the same day and identified the cause of the breakdown. Parts were ordered and fitted within 3 days. Our boiler was also serviced during the visits.
The engineer, Craig, who appeared on both occasions was courteous, considerate and abided by the rules raised by the Covid 19 pandemic.
When he left after the second visit, the boiler was working very efficiently.
We cannot thank Contract Heating enough for their efficient and prompt service.

Boiler broke down in the middle of a snow storm, despite the last minute call and the limited resources available with engineers being all booked out already, Contract heating went over and beyond the call of duty and managed to help out remotely. Outstanding level of dedication and kindness with top professionalism - will definitely recommend this company and will use again in the future. Was particularly impressed when they followed up to make sure everything was still working correctly. Made my day! THANK YOU.

I am delighted with the new Ariston boiler I have just had fitted by Rob Hamilton and Lewis. They did a great job (very professional and efficient) while being friendly and helpful and explaining everything very clearly. For added convenience, you can even control this boiler from your phone with an app if you like! When I drag myself into the 21th Century (sometime before 2021 hopefully) I'll be able to do that. In the meantime it is working brilliantly. Many thanks to Rob and Lewis.

We just had a new boiler installed by Contract heating in our house in North Berwick. We have previously used Contact heating for the past 14 years in a flat in Edinburgh and always found them helpful and efficient. They are tidy workers and ensure all carpets including the stairs were covered during their work. They took time to explain what the work was as it went on and were excellent at making the control of the boiler seem simple. We felt we were always consulted when appropriate.

I first contacted Contract Heating when my old boiler started to malfunction because they came recommended by neighbours. They subsequently fitted a new boiler and have maintained this for the past few years for a what seems a very reasonable price. Their service is excellent both out in the field and in the office - prompt, efficient and reliable - with a tracking app to let you know when they will arrive. I am glad to know that they have my back especially when winter comes.

This is the second year I have used them and again impressed with their service.
Boiler service was arranged swiftly and at very reasonable cost.
Rob the engineer was on time and under the current COVID situation wearing mask and gloves which I appreciated as he is possibly going from household to household this is what I would be expecting him to wear.
Bearing in mind some other companies do not even have their engineers wear masks when coming into households.
Rob was professional, courteous and one has no complaints.
I will be using them again and have no issue in recommending them

Old boiler removed and New Ariston Genus 1 combi boiler fitted.
Fitters Rob and Colin arrived exactly on time at 8am and were polite and organised. PPE of face masks, gloves and shoe covers were worn. They worked solidly through until the job was completed at half past three which I thought was exceptionally quick. The boiler had been neatly fitted and re - boxed in to the kitchen unit, copper pipework installed and instruction manuals neatly laid out. The whole area was clean and tidy and outside paths had been swept clean and all old parts etc. removed. I have used Contract Heating before and been very pleased with the service but Rob and Colin were exceptionally good and I would have no hesitation in recommending them and their company to others. Indeed, on the strength of today's work I already have to both my neighbour and a work colleague.

Graham came within a couple of hours with a mask and gloves on due to the Coronavirus. He fixed the problem promptly, carried out a full service as it was due at the end of the month. He also went back to the office to get another tap and showed me how to adjust it if the pressure dropped.

Fault in boiler and central heating system presented problem in identification and remedy. One approach involved sourcing a replacement part from Italy - difficult to source as pandemic took hold. That didn't solve the problem so as soon as lockdown allowed a further visit - again with face mask and every courtesy - traced the solution.

Combi boiler installed to replace old boiler, old hot water tank removed, chemical flush of all radiators (also 20 years old). Was a two day job so no heating to look forward to on coldest night of the winter. Rob went the extra mile, helped out by Colin, by remaining on site up till 6.30pm to ensure we would have heating. This was very much appreciated. The next day Rob & Liam spent many hours working on a very thorough chemical flush of all radiators. Overall excellent customer service and a very thorough and high quality job carried out.

4 years ago, after various heating engineers and bills, I went to Contract Heating to assess whether I needed a new boiler, heating system etc and from the start, they were polite and efficient when I called and arranged an engineer to assess things. I wasn't sure they could be trusted then and the promises and contract seemed too good to be true. They first of all saved me money as they found an ongoing fault in my boiler and repaired it. That was great as my boiler had been seen by 3 other companies who didn't find the fault. Then they offered me a contract with included service and parts and each year, the service engineer has without fail sorted some minor thing out, replaced parts without costs and been totally on time and efficient. I have passed their name to several friends, some of whom are now their clients and feel like me that they are pretty damn good.

Contract Heating were efficient, reliable and pleasant to deal with. I found their employee who carried out a safety check for my boiler and other appliances very helpful and the best-informed contractor I have ever come cross in explaining how things work - so much more helpful than the manufacturers themselves, in his explanations and instructions. Highly recommended.

Used this company after a recommendation from a friend. New Ariston boiler fitted by Chris Allison and Liam, who worked hard and left everything clean and tidy at the end of the day.
Extremely friendly and a credit to the Company.

We got an old back boiler removed, and a new Ariston Evo Combi boiler put in.
The standard of work was first class, the Engineers, Rob, Austin and Adam, were very knowledgeable, explained everything as the work was getting done. All the waste materials were removed and our house was left very tidy.
All in all, would recommend them to everyone.

New Ariston boiler fitted and very happy with it so far. The fitters Chris and Lewis were great - friendly, cleaned up well after the job and talked me though the process the whole way. I would definitely recommend Contract Heating, as I have used them for 15 years and have always felt I have been supported well throughout my boiler history!

I have been impressed by the plumbers who have come out to assess a major problem here, and dealt with it subsequently. Efficient, hard-working, polite, tidy; they worked away conscientiously. Well done!

Another excellent job from start to finish by Contract Heating.
The boiler installation was completed cheerfully and efficiently by Chris and Aaron who worked hard and left everything clean and tidy at the end of each day. Chris explained clearly how everything worked when they were finished. They are both a credit to the Company and the tenant was happy to have them in his home.
Thank you all.

Work carried out was a standard boiler service. Chose the company due to the proximity to my house. Engineer came with the allocated slot and service provided was good. Would recommend the company for a boiler service, cost was comparable to other companies I rang.

As an overseas landlord it’s important to use a company that I can trust to do a good job and to liaise with my tenants for access. They have never ever let me down.
They do all the safety checks and repairs as and when necessary. They send all the certificates and invoices to me by email. Great service.

We have used the Contract Heating team for over 8 years now on multiple properties including our own for Gas Safe and electrical checks, EPC's and boiler repairs. Our tenants comment on how professional, friendly and efficient they are. And they even fitted a boiler in my own home!
Their prices are competitive, they provide safety documentation quickly and electronically and first time visit fix rate for boiler repairs is high.
Thank you for the continued high level of service. Christopher Gladden

We had engaged Contract Heating to do (what I thought) was a complicated Boiler replacement. The 3 guys from Contract who did the installation were professional, polite, helpful and patient. The job took 3 days and they were very keen to keep the house as tidy as possible after each day.
They answered ALL my questions and made sure we understood each stage of the job.
I cannot recommend this firm highly enough on the basis of my experiences with them and would definitely use them again.
Great job!

We needed to replace our 20 year old boiler and this was completed on 11th June 2019 by Chris Allison and his team from "Contract Heating" based at Sighthill.
They did an excellent job of the installation and commissioning of the new boiler and filter and I have no hesitation in recommending them for any future work.
Many thanks,
Alastair M. McKirdy

The engineers at Contract Heating are always courteous and make a special point of keeping their working area clean, as well as tidying up afterwards. Excellent service - the annual combi-boiler check gives peace of mind and is good value for money. I really like the new app which gives accurate arrival time!

Contract heating was recommended by a friend when I needed the gas boiler and electrical equipment inspected.
Contacted Contract Heating via email on their website and received a reply within half an hour. Very efficient and friendly staff member for booking the appointment who helped with all my queries.
Engineer who came out kept me up to date of his arrival by phoning an hour before. I was also able to keep track via their app that had been sent to me. When he arrived he was very polite and got to work immediately. Was finished within the hour.
Certificates and report were sent within 48hours. Would highly recommend.

We had a replacement boiler fitted. There were several problems to be overcome, as the outlet hole had to be adjusted, and the boiler housing needed to be repositioned.
This work was carried out by Rob Hamilton and his assistant Lewis. They were very efficient, courteous, and professional. They left our kitchen clean and tidy, and back in its former state. We would be happy to recommend them to anyone who needs similar work carried out.

A broken boiler fixed by an excellent engineeer, Gary, who explained clearly what caused the problem and what repairs were needed. The company was in close touch on when to expect the two visits needed. Price was reasonable. This company is recommended.

Ariston boiler was installed quickly and efficiently. Because I had some difficulty following the instructions for the programming of the system, I contacted office staff on a number of occasions. I found that the advice I received was invariably helpful and given in a patient, clear manner. An engineer was sent specially at no extra cost to help me understand the system.

Boiler Installation Saga (summarised):
Pros -
- The Equipment installed is of a very good quality.
- If they make a mess of the installation they will repair any damage to a good standard.
Cons -
- 18 days between reporting a repair they carried out had not worked, to then starting work replacing the boiler.
- 4 days to actually install the boiler. 1 day to install it in the wrong room and 3 to install in the cupboard it should have been in.
- Further 9 weeks for the holes in the wall to be repaired after initially installing the boiler in the bedroom.
- Further 5 weeks of emails, phone calls, written letters, stress and a visit to Citizens Advice Scotland, to eventually receive an invoice that contained any Compensation, in recognition for the shambles that took place.
I could right an essay incorporating all the things I was surprised and unhappy with, but the summary is, there was a complete mess of the installation,
- Leaving me with no working boiler for weeks in December,
- Leaving holes in my bedroom wall for weeks,
- Having to take time off work twice to let the builder in to assess and then repair the holes (interior wall in 2 rooms and exterior wall),
- Leaving me with permanent patches on the exterior wall.
I was incredibly patient with Contract Heating throughout the experience. But repeatedly I was sent invoices that not only offered zero compensation, they at times even included the cost of work that wasn’t carried out (specifically the services of a joiner was invoiced to box in the flue pipe, but I had cancelled the joiner, as I wanted to find my own joiner and have my dealings with Contract Heating over).
I find it insulting that after showing a great deal of understanding and patience, there was repeatedly no offer of fair compensation. The best I received after several attempts equated to 3.6% discount and 2 free services - as I don’t intend on using Contract Heating again, I didn’t feel 2 free services was a serious offer.
In the end I took another morning off work and visited Citizens Advice Scotland for the first time in my life. It took a written letter, sent by recorded delivery, which requested an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Process, if fair compensation wasn't offered - to eventually gain a fair invoice, reflecting the nature of what had taken place.
I would suggest to anyone considering using Contract Heating to make sure they get at least 2 other quotes from competitors before booking them. If you do then hire them and there is anything at all you are not happy with, put it in writing in an email right from the very start and make sure all replies are in writing. Take photos of anything you aren’t happy with too.
Funny enough the answer on how to progress is then found in the copy and paste response the owner has put in every Google review that isn’t 5 stars - have your notes and photos concisely prepared and ready to submit to Edinburgh Trusted Traders and NICEIC. I did not require an ADR, I was eventually offered fair compensation and the matter is finally closed.

Finlay Blyth
Moderator Response
Response from Contract Heating:At the time of this response, we have now reviewed all correspondence with Finlay; he has confirmed that he is satisfied with the product, the completed job and the invoice which has now been settled. We have invited Finlay to our premises to review all aspects of the work but he has declined the invite.
The boiler was initially installed in the wrong location as a result of a misunderstanding between Finlay and Andrew (estimating engineer), a discrepancy on the initial estimate and our understanding of the use of the premises. When working in an owner occupied property the engineer would discuss the job with the owner on arrival and it is highly unlikely in this scenario that an appliance could be installed in the wrong location. When arranging access Finlay said he would not be present but his partner would, however Alan was given access to the property by a tenant who advised they were not aware of the work that was to be carried out. Had we known this we would have had a more detailed discussion with Finlay before arrival as we always do with any tenanted property.
On completion of the works Craig arranged a contractor to carry out what would be considered snagging works, patching holes that were caused by the incorrect siting, we had a problem with the initial contractor which caused a delay but all contact with Finlay was amicable and suitable arrangements were then made with an alternative contractor.
On completion of the works to Finlay’s satisfaction an invoice was issued which was based on the original estimate, this included a joinery fee for boxing in a cupboard which was now not necessary. When Finlay notified of the error, this charge was removed and the invoice was re-issued, Finlay then asked for compensation and declined the initial offer made which was for services with a value of approx. £150. Finlay then negotiated a £200 discount with Craig which he said was satisfactory to him.
In Summary: The main problem was the siting of the boiler; this was the result of communication problems which both we and Finlay contributed to. There was a delay completing remedial works and negotiation on compensation which were all resolved without dispute. We understand the mistakes we have made and from now on all estimates will be provided showing photos from site of existing and new boiler location.











I provided evidence from an external source to support the classification that we had used but the other contractor’s opinion (“since nothing is exposed and the crack is not such that the cover is likely to fall off/fall apart, he doesn't see it as a significant risk, especially if a bit of glue or tape was applied.”) was considered to be more relevant than ours, and therefore we were not to be paid for the EICR we had carried out. I felt the criticism we received relating to this work had been unjustified and that our advice had been unfairly ignored in preference of that given by another contractor. Unable to reach agreement on this I made no charge for the work we had carried out.
The customer did want us to proceed with other work but not EICRs and indicated this was because we had not done a good job. There are jobs that do go wrong and there are times when we make refunds and rectify mistakes, but it is difficult to move forward with a working relationship when you are receiving criticism and cannot agree that what you have done was incorrect. I explained this to the customer and he asked us to close his existing service contracts and refund in full unless works had been carried out. Although this would not be the usual terms for cancellation we did this in order to bring things to a close as amicably as possible.
In summary, this customer has been a customer of ours for 10 years and it is not a good outcome for us that the relationship has come to an end in this way. We have tried to do this as amicably as possible all in the hope that we could move on without any further ill feeling. Unfortunately this review would suggest that we were unable to achieve that and I can now only hope that on reading this response the customer will consider this from our perspective, and at some point accept that as a contractor the position we were placed in was not conducive to a good working relationship moving forward.
