How to avoid being mis-sold

My top ten tips

- By Norman Paterson DipDEA

Choosing a renewable heating system is a big decision. Possibly the most important one you will make for your home. So it makes sense to do your research in your own time and don’t allow anyone to pressurise you into making a quick decision. We are lucky in Scotland. We have the Energy Saving Trust who provide free impartial advice along with interest free loans. They and the Scottish Government are very supportive of the renewable energy industry. And are only a phone call away. So, the first thing I would recommend when looking into a new heating system for your home is to them a call on 0808 808 2282. I believe choosing a new heating system is one of the most important decisions you will make. You will be living with it long after the job has been completed. For me the first visit to your home is simply a fact finding exercise. There will be lots of measuring and photograph­ing. And you will probably have a lot of questions I can answer. Be wary of anyone who can price up a new central heating job during a visit. It takes me a good number of hours back at the office to do this accurately. On average I see clients four times from the start to the end of the project. This gives them one point of main contact throughout the process. If you are unhappy with your present heating system and I can be of any help I will be happy to drop in for a chat. I am on Arran usually twice a week. You can get me on 079 1234 6360.
