What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Heating engineers who turn up when they promise, explain each step as they go and leave a household warm again are what runs through these accounts of work across Plymouth. Servicing and repairing boilers recurs most often, alongside emergency call-outs for lost pressure, leaking radiators and hot water that will not run. Martin, Martyn, Robbie, Rebecca, Dave, Jackson and Nathan each feature by name, and reviewers repeatedly mention a confirming call or message before arrival, followed by a prompt appearance at the agreed hour.

The diagnosis is described as careful and informed, with parts sourced and fitted without delay and faults such as a hidden gas leak or a stubborn hot water problem dealt with safely. A detail many reviews return to is the willingness to mend rather than replace, explaining findings in plain terms instead of pressing for a new appliance. Customers also note respect for the home, shoes removed, patience with children and dogs, and a friendly, professional manner throughout. Repairs and servicing that restore dependable heating and hot water, with several people saying they would use the firm again, close the pattern.

Brilliant service. Martin was on time and very professional and friendly. He kept me informed of every step of the boiler service. Very nice and friendly chap who even the dog was impressed with! Thanks again

Had our boiler serviced and repaired by South West Heating SERVICES. The boiler service by Rebecca was the most thorough and extensive we've ever known. Unlike previously we felt Rebecca actually cared about our boiler, she explained everything in a clear and friendly way and didn't try to sell us a new one. The chaps who did the repair were equally brilliant. All arrived when they said they would. Highly recommended.

Martin and Robbie were excellent. They rang 10 minutes before coming, were polite and friendly, took their shoes off at entry and explained what they were doing as they went along. They would be welcome back Thanks

Instructed through my home emergency policy via AXA, engineer reset boiler without repairing overheating fault at all, resulting in immediate failure again. Instructed again via AXA only to wait 2 weeks with no hot water and no contact. When a complaint was raised with AXA, they then finally arranged an appointment only to turn up with the most rude attitude, assumably due to my having to lay a complaint, so bad I had to tell engineer to leave my home. Asked around and several other people have experienced the same.

Eric O'Donovan arrived on time and even though the part wasn't the correct one, he stayed on and sourced a fix solution from our area, so that he could complete the job successfully. Very grateful and relieved to have such an experienced and problem solving oriented technician. Thank you!
