Common south London boiler repair rip offs to watch out for

Incorrect fault finding whether deliberate or not, is a serious problem for unsuspecting home owners. Don't fall for it; the link below shows you some of the most common cons and rip offs about central heating and gas boilers.

There are quite a few old chestnuts that have been used many times, and still are used to rip people off. As always when it comes to scams, the stories that are half truth and half fiction sound the most convincing. What the fraudsters like to do, is to spin their lies around something that has been in the news so people have heard about it, without knowing or understanding the finer details. It is not entirely dissimilar to the energy suppliers and oil companies blaming the dollar or the problems in the middle east for the high retail prices of gas, electricity, petrol and diesel. We all know that those problems play a roll in it, but at we hear time and again how they have made another record profit. Luckily, there still are central heating engineers that have ethics and enough of a business not to have to resort to padding bills. I specialise in repairing and prefer to get your current boiler working rather than installing a new one. Yes, it is more difficult than flinging a new one on the wall, but that makes it more interesting to do. It involves working smarter rather than harder. It is a mixture of understanding, knowledge, experience and diagnostic tools that are key to solving the puzzle. You do need this combination to be good at diagnostics/fault finding. 30 years of experience alone won't do it any more than a master's degree in engineering, or ten thousand pounds worth of gadgets. Possibly the most crucial part, is logical thinking; the ability to combine your knowledge and experience, and work out what must be wrong if A happens in stead of B. Or alternatively, why D does not happen when A, B and C are there. And last but not least: when you have found the culprit, you need to be able to figure out how you can stop it from happening again. For a good boiler breakdown repair business in south London and Bromley, you need all four elements.

The need for the combination of skills makes it part art and part science. This is probably why there are countless books about central heating design, plumbing in general and even books on just one aspect, but hardly any on repairing or fault finding.

Boiler breakdown repair south London differences

Some of the points where my central heating service differs from most other companies are:

I don't have a call out charge as such and don't expect you to pay me if can't your find the problem; I do not get paid for just turning up.

You can choose whether you just want me to just diagnose the problem, or correct it too. Some of the faults are hard to find, but easy to sort out once it is clear where the problem stems from. For those that feel they are up to the job, I am more than happy to do the diagnosis only and get paid for that, and then leave the rest to them.

Where possible, I give you the choice between the minimum that is absolutely to get the central heating or hot water going again, and what is needed to make it reliable in the long term. Sometimes it is just not worth doing a lot of work to gain long term benefits. If you know you are going to move next year, have building works done or a number of other reasons, you may only want something that will last you until then.

Occasionally, I find a situation where the boilers is in a really bad state and I can reasonably expect to have to keep patching it up on a regular basis. If that is the case, I will also tell you what you can expect. It is then your choice whether you take your chances and hope for the best, or decide to avoid more unpleasant surprises and opt for reliability. I don't believe in replacing one problem with another, and only use high quality models for replacement if that is what the client wants.
