Had problems with oil-fired combi boiler not heating water consistently (intermittent issue). My usual boiler engineer got the Firebird rep out to help and between them they fixed the problem very quickly, also at zero cost to me. Great service, highly recommended.

I purchased a new boiler from Gary and Matthew cook back in feb 2023
Sadly it developed a fault so left with no heating or hot water

After talking to Gary in sales and Matthew in the office within a day a new one turned up
They took my boiler engineers number and arranged at no cost to have old one removed and new one installed

Fantastic after sales service and would recommend these
To anyone else who wanted a new boiler

Well done Gary and Matthew a credit to you both 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I have a Envirogreen Slimline Combi HE 26kw fitted in the kitchen with a 10yr warranty. I’ve received excellent aftercare and advice. The house water pressure was too high (9.5bar) and pressure reducing valves were fitted. The engineer also advised that the radiator thermostat was set too high. Now I’ll be using less oil. All good. I’m very happy with the service I’ve received from Firebird. Thank you so much Matthew and Kenny.

Had nothing but trouble

Had nothing but trouble, was told by the heating engineer it had a 10 year warranty when I contacted firebird they said not. I have now contacted Hall and Featherstone whom are coming to price up for a Worcester boiler I had one in my last house for 14 years. So goodbye firebird 👋

Most unreliable boiler going

***Update***
Well credit to Firebird they contacted me the next day and sent someone out that morning to look at the boiler. Turns out even though it’s been serviced numerous times since installation nobodies picked up on numerous faults with the installation itself. The engineer that came out managed to fix most of the flaws and it’s been working flawlessly since.
***
After the 3 years I’ve had my new Firebird Combi boiler it’s completely broken 5 times resulting in 90% of the boiler being replaced on 2 occasions . I don’t think there’s been a month it hasn’t been leaking. We’ve had 2 Christmases without heating and even though some of the repairs have been covered by warranty it’s broke yet again and won’t be covered under warranty. Absolutely dreadful product and will never go near their boiler again.

Hi James, thank you very much for taking the time to update your previous review. We are delighted you are happy with our customer service.

Terrible, terrible service

It's now nearly 2 weeks since the control unit for my boiler has been identified as broken. It too nearly 5 days for a new one to be supplied only to find out that that which was supplied was incorrect. That was reported on Wednesday it's now Friday and no replacement part has been delivered to the plumbers merchant. So another weekend without any heating. The supply of parts by this company seems not be a priority at all.

Gary Davies - Firebird

After nearly a month with no heating, money down the drain paid out to local plumbing engineers, Gary Davies at firebird saved us and we now finally have heating. He had an engineer come straight out and it was simply fixed within an hour and we were given some brilliant tips to maintain the efficacy of our boiler!
Customer service is outstanding, brilliant communication and really have gone above and beyond for us and we really couldn’t thank them enough!

We are an installer and purchased a…Firebird combi oil boiler

We are an installer and purchased a Firebird boiler, installed October 23 for a land owner with many properties within Northamptonshire, which incidently have a lot of Firebird boilers in their properties.
We had a lot of issues initially with the boiler, eventually getting it sorted after many stressful conversations and site visits.
Today the customer has no heating again, i called up Customer Services at 9.35 am to arrange a warranty call, i was assured i would get a call back within 2 hours by Jake. 3.30 pm i called again, i even called the Firebird Engineer as i had noted his number.
Again i was promised a call back straight away, nearly an hour later nothing. The customer has no heating.
Your reviews all look extremely good, however i can only say from my experience the customer service is horrendous.

Hi Beccy

We are sorry that you feel the need to give us a 1-star review. Please see below the following points:

When our engineer first attended your boiler, we found the flue was installed incorrectly which is not a boiler fault. Firebird bore the expense and you were not charged for the non- warranty call out.

When our engineer attended again, it was found that the boiler was incorrectly set up. This also, is no fault of the Firebird boiler and again Firebird bore the cost. You were not charged whatsoever for the non-warranty call out.

Our service call logs show that we did indeed try to contact you but were unable to get through.

Considering your issues have been down to installation and commission, which is not a product fault, we have worked with you to rectify these at no expense to yourself. We find it disappointing and hard to understand why you would give us a 1-star rating.

As the temperature dropped below freezing our boiler stopped working. Having been diagnosed with a burner fuel pump problem, Matthew at Firebird customer service swung into action and a new burner (under warranty) was delivered next day, fitted on arrival and we are warm again.

when your heating world is falling down around you - a complete disaster - & aged 81 as we are find replacement a confusing nightmare, reccomended FIREBIRD comes flying in with sympathy, advise, solutions, great suppliers, efficient friendly installers, and at very reasonable costs a total solution to our oil heating problems. Such a delight to find this superb all round service in an age where it is no longer, sadly, expected. Well done Firebird & associates.
