Harry serviced my ASHP and did a great, thorough job. Took time to explain some functionality and really friendly too. Would definitely recommend

Harry is a really nice person & easy to relate to. He responded very quickly when he heard that we had no hot water. The air pump system in our new build has been fitted with many errors.
