We have been a customer for many years since their very early days. The owner and management are very honest, reliable and its not a surprise that the business has done as well as it has over the years.

Report
Now that we have had some cold weather I wanted to provide some feedback on the excellent work carried out by Techniheat at Withington Golf Club. The installation was carried out with the absolute minimum of disruption and the end result is also very aesthetically pleasing with the vents not being noticed at all. The heating warms up the room quickly and the cooling is very effective when needed, with the temperature controls being very user friendly. I would like to thank Techniheat for an excellent job so please pass on our thanks to all those involved. Many thanks

For the most part, companies will churn through a few a few contractors before they find the right ones.
Fortunately for me, I engaged the services of TPS almost ten years ago. During this time, they have provided a cost-effective and highly responsive service. We operate in the depths of the Peak District where the weather is not always kind. Any sort of heating problem in the Winter can quickly become an emergency. It is therefore critical that our HVAC contractors are able to respond quickly and effectively when we report issues with the heating. TPS have provided this for us in Spades.
