Confusion over Warranties
We are aware that there is a little bit of confusion over the 5 year warranty which we offer for the Vaillant boiler range. We are creating a leaflet to explain it in depth but we will explain the matter here a little also.
Direct Line Maintenance offers 5 year warranties on all the Vaillant boilers it fits. Most of the boilers have a manufactures warranty for 5 years. On the Vaillant Eco-Tech Pro range there is a 2 year warranty but we will extend it to 5 years ourselves so its a 5 year warranty.
To qualify for the 5 year warranty you need to have the boiler serviced yearly by Direct Line Maintenance Services Limited. The confusion arrises from the cost of the servicing. Let us make it very clear. We will freeze the cost of servicing for all customers who have a boiler installed, its £49 including VAT.
Switching your gas/electric supplier, but you've had the same supplier for years?
While our company is fitting new heating systems and new boilers in homes, at some point we will try to talk about who supplies the customers gas and electric e.g. British Gas, Atlantic, Eon etc If you have never changed your gas/electric supplier this sounds like a strange proposition. Often I hear the reply "We have had the same gas/electric supplier for 10 years and we are very happy". It's hard to get a customer to change from a service with which they are happy with.
When confronted with a happy customer I often ask them about their car insurance. Through many television campaigns of a man singing "Go-Compare" people are changing their car insurance and saving money. These people also know how much money because we pay a fixed rate for our insurance for the year. You can see the cash and you know it's not fraud.
Gas and electric are just the same. There is a service called U-Switch (click on the link below). U-switch will help you to switch your gas/electric to a cheaper supplier, just like with car insurance. I personally saved £200 plus the first year I switched and it was easy.
We are very enthusiastic about switching utilities and saving money. Our company sells and installs boilers which do exactly the same. They use less gas, recycle heat and save customers money. We make no money if you switch to a cheaper supplier, we do not recieve commission. U-Switch makes 50 pence every time they make a switch, which is a bargain. What have you got to lose? It's also nice to help someone you know to change and save also.
If you want to save some money then let U-switch help you. You call them and do it over the phone on 0800 404 7902 or visit there website.

Binswood Hall - Solar Hot Water System Completed
Direct Line Maintenance Services Ltd has seen the completion of its innovative collaboration with Butterworth’s builders in the installation of Solar Hot Water Technology at its Binswood Hall site in Didsbury. The solar panels, manufactured by Baxi, will help to provide the hot water needs of flat owners and reduce their gas usage. On average the solar panels will generate around 50-60% of the annual domestic hot water requirement**.
The combination of the solar panels with the Alpha CD28C complete with Alphas pioneering Gas Saver unit gives the building project a very green environmental status. The Gas saver boasts independent testing results showing domestic hot water savings of up to 37% and can reduce gas consumption by up to 52%*.
The Gas Saver is a device fitted between the boiler and flue. It recycles heat usually expelled in the flue gases which saves energy, helps the environment and also reduces instances of pluming.
The installation of solar hot water technology will provide financial benefits and environmental piece of mind for the tenants of the Binswood Hall in Didsbury for a great many years to come.
For a look at the installation and the Binswood Development please follow the link below.
* Source: Tested replacing an Alpha standard efficiency boiler with an Alpha high efficiency boiler and GasSaver. Test conducted by independent scientific test house. Calculation based on an average household's consumption of 100 litres of hot water per day.
** Variable saving dependent upon usage patterns.
