BOYCOTT THIS COMPANY FOR LIE!!!

ANY GAS ENGINEERS LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE BUYING.

This company is horrible.
They will lie to you to get sales. They block every company from calibrating their equipment. (The only company in the uk to do this) you loose the right to shop round or get it down locally.
They charge extortionate prices which rise fast every year.

Currently I sent my analyser in with gas leak detector and personal Co alarm. I paid £214.80 to have the equipment checked as calibrated but they sent only the analyser back.

At first they denied having any other equipment. Then they changed it and said I have to pay around £230 MORE ON TOP if I want my equipment back
Costs I was not told about or expected
When I brought the gas leak detector at the birmingham show they told me to simply send it with the analyser each year

I called to complain. And was spoken down to. Told basically tough luck and the person put the phone down on me.

I called back and spoken to a guy who promised to look into it and call me back that day. That wa a last Friday. It’s now Tuesday. And NOTHING

IT SEEMS THEY HAVE STOLEN MY EQUIPMENT worth £100s Unless I pay £100s to get it back

I’m absolutely fuming
I will never ever buy from this company ever again and I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NO GAS ENGINEER DOES EITHER

BOYCOTT A COMPANY LIKE THIS
I’m contacting trading standards about this company. They cannot be allowed to block local calibrations and shouldn’t be allowed to hold us to ransom

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your review – we’re sorry to hear you feel you’ve had an unpleasant experience.

Having reviewed the details, I can see that our team advised you of the calibration costs associated with the additional equipment you sent to us. While KANE CARE covers your analyser and its accessories - such as the bag, printer, probe and charger - gas leak detectors and personal CO alarms are standalone pieces of equipment and therefore require separate servicing and calibration that is chargeable.

We would also like to clarify that we have not withheld or stolen your equipment. We understand how concerning it can be when there is a misunderstanding about what has been booked or the costs involved, and we’re sorry if our communication has contributed to your frustration. Prices are always displayed up front if booked in via kane.co.uk or a quote is sent before any works are commenced. You are not obligated to pay if you don’t wish to proceed with any work and we will be more than happy to return your equipment if requested by yourself.

Only KANE is authorised to calibrate KANE analysers in accordance with our required calibration standards. This ensures that our analysers are calibrated correctly and enables us to provide the LIFETIME WARRANTY associated with our products.

We hope this helps clarify any confusion and address some of the concerns raised in your review. We’re keen to resolve the matter with you directly and can arrange either payment for the additional work or the return of your equipment, depending on your preference.

Please contact our team on 0800 059 0800 and we’ll be happy to assist.

Best wishes

Delivery Service

Can't fault service.
However free returns label was not given as an option so had to pay for postage. I spoke to customer services who confirmed this has happened to other customers and they wouldn't refund my postage and asked me to lodge a complaint. I lodged a complaint without success. This service is extremely disappointing due to the cost of recalibration/service and the hefty price increase from last year.

We'll take a look into this to ensure this doesn't happen again but please do reach out to us if you have any issues so we can assist before you pay any unnecessary charges.

Thanks for again for your review and for being a KANE customer.

Kind regards

Everytime I send my device to Kane for calibration, it comes back clean with fresh filters etc. This time the screen had a few lines of pixels missing that I never mentioned to them, it came back working perfectly so they fixed it without asking for an extra charge. Any staff that I've had dealings with over email or the phone have been really helpful. I used another brand for years beginning with A and sometimes they would have the analyser for 2+ weeks and would always find something that needed replacing making my bill higher. If the device fails between calibration, the will fix it for free. Really great service. Thanks

Excellent Service Every Time

We’ve used Kane International for our analyser servicing and calibration and have always received excellent service. The whole process is straightforward, communication is great, and the turnaround is incredibly quick, which is really important to us as a busy heating company.

Professional, reliable and hassle-free from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kane and will continue to use them in the future.

Hi Andrei

Thank you for your review and we're sorry that your analyser wasn't delivered when you expected it to be.

I've taken a look and can see that we dispatched this within 24 hours of receiving your analyser.

Sadly, I can see there was a slight delay with our courier which is why you didn't receive this as expected, so I do apologise it wasn’t delivered to you sooner.

Any questions, please reach out to us by calling 0800 059 0800 or by emailing uksales@kane.co.uk
