As Worcester Accedited Installers we can offer a 10 year warranty on new Worcester Bosch CDi boilers (with the fitting of a Worcester magnetic filter). This is 10 years peace of mind on a new, high efficiency condensing boiler.
Contact us for more details and to get a free (obviously!) quotation.
Having had previous van for a few years, it was time to find another one. I know
that some customers think along the lines of 'well if he has a new van, he must
be rolling in it', or similar. Those people can rest assured that the van is not
brand new, he is not rolling in it, and the van will be paid for in three years
time!
We have started using an electronic record keeping system, instead of the paper-based method. This is to reduce the amount of paper we use, and store, and to generally improve the details we keep.
During visits, instead of writing on expensive pads of pre-printed forms, we use an electronic system to record details of the address and findings from the work we carry out. These details can be printed if needed, but ideally we can provide the documents by email, saving paper and printer ink. This helps reduce costs, and the amount of paper records we have to store.
It would be appreciated that those customers who use email would let us provide documentation (including invoices) electronically. We promise not to use email addresses for any other reason than to send the documents relating to the work we carry out.
In previous years, we have sent out Christmas cards to most of our customers, and were happy to buy cards from preferred charities. However, we stopped sending cards a few years back when postage prices increased. We will make a small donation to Cancer Research (but not to Royal Mail!)
Happy Christmas to all of our customers and hopefully 2018 will be good for everyone.
Proud to say that we are trying hard to keep prices at same level as they have been for a few years now, other than costs of parts and equipment imposed on us by suppliers. Servicing charges have not increased for over 3 years. Contact us for more details.
We are aware of at least one national company (who's name we aren't going to repeat here!) that claim to be able to install a Worcester Bosch boiler with a 10 year warranty, for a lot less than we can. Having looked at their website, we can see a few things that need further consideration:
There is a lot to consider when selecting a new boiler and installer. We do not feel this can be done simply on a website, if you want to make sure you get the best boiler solution, sited in the best position, and installed by a good installer, of YOUR choice. Contact us for more details.
We can fit a
Honeywell heating control that provides wireless access to your central
heating boiler, PLUS, remote access through an app. This allows control of
your boiler while away from home - ideal for people who do not work regular
hours, or who want to put heating on or off while away from home.
Contact us for more details.

We've taken the decision to stop taking payment by card. This is because very few people actually asked for the service, and when they did, it came at a cost, in the form of a transaction fee.
Payment is often easier by bank transfer, as this saves writing a cheque and doesn't cost to pay, or for us to receive payment.
Proud to say that we are trying hard to keep prices at same level as they have been for a couple of years now, other than costs of parts and equipment imposed on us by suppliers. Servicing charges have not increased for over 2 years. Contact us for more details and to get a free (obviously!) quotation.
We are installing a lot of Honeywell controls, which are known to be very reliable and versatile. There is almost always a Honeywell control solution for a heating system. We do fit some Worcester controls, especially the Wave control, but we have seen some cheaper controls being used with Worcester boilers. See this article regarding what is being called "copycat" controls
Not really sure if it is a useful tool or a distraction, but it gives another way for customers to get in touch, and for us to pass on anything that might be interesting. Follow us!

Also, recently re-assessed for the Worcester Accredited Installer scheme and passed the rigorous exams on the installation and servicing of their products. Happy to say that we can continue to install Worcester boilers and give an 8 year parts and labour warranty on their products.
Undertaken training with Honeywell on their new evoHome control system. See Honeywell's website for more information, and contact us to discuss the possibilities to remotely control your heating system via the internet and your phone. As well as offering remote control of your heating system evoHome allows you to divide your heating system into zones and control each zone according to your needs and save money by reducing your energy costs....more
Having just be re-assessed for gas safety, which is something gas engineers in this country have to do every 5 years, pleased to say that asessments completed and all passed. Hopefully this is a factor in customer's decisions to have work done in their home - is your chosen engineer registered with Gas Safe Register AND is their registration current and appropriate for the work you are having done?

This is the redesigned Harry Willis Limited website. Please feel free to
contact us with comments, suggestions, or just to say 'hello'!
Website designed and built by Harry Willis, using CSS and standard HTML, without Javascript.
Tested in various browsers. Seems to work fine, other than some text resizing issues in Opera and Firefox - if you use these browsers and resize the text, strange things may happen! While it may be nice to spend time to correct these problems, there are more essential things to be done, here in internet land and real life.
Our CRB check has been completed and we are in posession of an Enhanced Disclosure certificate. We are happy to say that this should show customers that we seriously value the trust they place in us by allowing us into their home to carry out work.
Customers who get their boiler regularly serviced often do not bother to have their gas fire or fires checked. The usual reason for this is that they do not use the fire very often, only on a winter night or something similar. It is often found that when a gas fire has not been serviced for some time, the chimney contains twigs, soot and other debris that can cause partial or even complete blockages....more
