Installed summer ‘24

Installed summer ‘24. Water pressure has dropped right down when trying to increase temperature. Always had Mira in the past. When manufacturer doesn’t comment on these web sites, you know product/ service is rubbish.Will be changing back to Mira asap.

Ordering was straight forward and simple
Unfortunately the dispatch email was not sent otherwise everything was OK
As for the delivery company DPD they were somewhat less than professional not only leaving the Parcel at the wrong address ( ie next door) it was thrown over the rear garden gate and Left in the rain.

Good Customer Service Dept.

The online order process was straightforward, and the order confirmation email was prompt. However, I did not receive a delivery date. After several days waiting I contacted their Customer Services. The operator was very helpful and immediately followed-up on my enquiry. My replacement part arrived the next day. Initially disappointed, then satisfied with the service, hence the 4 stars.

Parcel damaged

The packaging was in a very poor state. The order details were missing. I'm quite concerned that my details are out there somewhere. I realize that the fault lies with the delivery company. You might take up the issue with them. Luckily the contents of the package were umdamaged. Thanks

Shower engine 8.5kW

Shower engine arrived when expected and has now been fitted and works fine. Although it took DPD Local three attempts to deliver running out of time on the first two attempts and the box was damaged on arrival. The identical shower engine it replaced had lasted about 11 years in this hard water area.
