Vaillant Ecotec Heating


All systems/upgrades are installed to Part L Building Regulations, more info can be found Building Regulations Part L - Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC)

 

I fit mainly Vaillant heating solutions because after years of using all types of manufactures I always end up back with Vaillant and now with the EcoTec range of boilers we can't go wrong. Because I am a Valliant approved installer I can offer a 5 year manufacturer warranty as standard. Great back up and support from Vaillant both for the customer and installer. Vaillant have a new training centre here in Bristol Aztec West where I have attended the EcoTec training course. The EcoTec range of boilers have the best onboard diagnostic to date making fault finding and troubleshooting so much easyer than any other boiler I have come across not that its needed.

 

       

 

Most problems with modern boilers are due to the installer not following the proper code of practices. This can be down to poor system design or not cleaning the system as per the manufactures instructions. I use the Kamco power flushing system along with the Kamco power flushing magnetic filer to clean the system.

 

After each installation the job will be notified by myself to the Local Building Control on your behalf who will issue you a Building Regulations Certificate of Compliance, for you to include in your Home Information Pack.


All heating systems are power flushed unless it is clear that the system dose not need flushing due to proper maintenance of the system.

Fernox MB1 or F1 will be added at the end of each job and for added protection a Fernox TF1 Filter is fitted as standard.

The Benchmark Scheme
What is Benchmark?
Benchmark is the nationally-recognised Scheme that places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers to ensure best practice in the installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic heating and hot water products in line with Building Regulations in England and Wales. It is managed and promoted by the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC).
Benchmark covers all aspects of installation and servicing to deliver the following benefits:
• Installations carried out competently to manufacturer's instructions so that it operates safely and at optimum performance
• Demonstrating compliance with Building Regulations
• Support for competent installers and increased isolation of unregulated or illegal installers
• A means for members of Competent Persons Schemes to notify local authorities about commissioning. Assurance for product suppliers that products are installed correctly, such that there is a reduction in warranty callouts and an improvement in after-sales support
• Customer protection and advice
• Encouraging regular servicing and maintenance
• Contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions
How does Benchmark work?
Manufacturers and product suppliers sign up to the Scheme Requirements to supply products which meet all required standards and provide support to installers and customers in the supply and after-sales service related to their products.
Installers work to a clear, effective Code of Practice to competently install, commission and service products in lie with manufacturers' instructions and provide support to the customer.
Customers receive documented evidence that their product has been correctly installed and is left operating at optimum efficiency receive clear information about how to continue to ensure optimum performance and efficiency from the product supplied; any servicing requirements and gain access to effective advice and assistance from installers and product suppliers.
Scope

""I really shopped around whilst I was trying to find a competent and reliable expert to mend my boiler. John stood out amongst the rest because of his competence and integrity. He made himself available with little notice, accurately diagnosed the problem, and mended it successfuly at reasonable cost. He also resolved my shower problem whilst I wasn't even in the country and I've not had any problems with my boiler or shower since. He is extremely reliable and advises on the cheapest but most effective fix and I highly recommend his services.""
"I would have no hesitation in highly recommending John Presland. He has performed numerous services for us, including installing a new boiler, removing old water tanks and fitting additional radiators. He is, without fail, friendly, prompt, efficient and carries out any work with the minimum disruption to our family. "
"Thank you John for the hard work and professionalism you put into replacing my boiler. The new Vaillant purrs away unnoticed, and the new unvented cylinder has made so much difference to hot water delivery to the remote kitchen. Interrupted showers are a thing of the past. Your tidy workmanship and 'nothings too much trouble' attitude made a refreshing change. I have no hesitation in recommending you to colleagues, and miss our many cups of tea and chats. Once again a big thank you. All the best Geoff Perkins "
