New offer launched by HARNCE can save homeowners hundreds of pounds this winter

July 2, 2024

As HARNCE Heating & Plumbing launch their new website and VIP Service Club with a £60 boiler service promotion, Technical Director Neil Harpur, has urged Staffordshire residents to get their boilers serviced as an effective way to slash energy bills and save on costly breakdowns this winter.

The experienced Gas Safe Engineer said that a national survey recently conducted by OVO, the UK's 3rd largest gas supplier showed that most homeowners put off maintenance work on their boiler and many don't realise that a regular service keeps the warranty on the boiler valid.


In the poll, 59 percent of households admitted that they have been meaning to get the chore done for over a year, while 46 percent have been putting it off for two years.


Neil noted that "a regularly serviced boiler can reduce long-term expenses", adding that such maintenance is also generally cheaper than costly one-off repairs and replacements.


Another benefit to servicing your boiler is that it can use less energy to heat your home if running efficiently, and it is better equipped to withstand cold spells in winter.

Research from the Heating Hub has found that a boiler that is 10 years old wastes about 15 to 20 percent of energy on running itself, while about 25 percent of the energy is lost on boilers that are 20 years old.


To incentivise homeowner to service their boilers, HARNCE has announced that it will be offering a £60 discounted full boiler service to all new VIP Service Club customers during August and September, when they take out their £7 service plan, making it the "cheapest on-demand boiler service in Staffordshire".

Neil promoted the offer saying "Our discounted boiler service, means that homeowners and landlords can get a full service for just £60 (normally £90), when they take out our boiler service plan".


Customers who pay for their annual service via monthly direct debit also pay a reduced fee (£84), to those who choose the Pay as You Go option (£90).


HARNCE Plumbing & Heating provide new boiler installations boiler services, gas safety certificates, plumbing services, thermostat installations, bathroom installations and general heating repairs."


This offer comes at a time when inflation is driving boiler servicing pricing upwards, making it harder for people to maintain their boiler service, and will help households keep their boiler running efficiently this winter.  It is open to anyone not already in the HARNCE Service Club,  and can be booked in a matter of seconds either on Facebook, WhatsApp or through the website - www.harnce.co.uk.

Isla Harpur, part of the family run Lichfield based company added: "A healthy boiler is essential for effective heating and protecting households from cold spells this winter.


"Our winter offer represents great value and an effective measure for all households - to benefit from a service that can extend their boiler’s life, reduce heating costs and keep it running smoothly during the cold months."


HARNCE launched in January 2023 and have already received fantastic reviews from all their clients.  In the last month, they've replaced 6 boilers, fitted a NEST home thermostat system, replaced 2 sinks, fitted a gas cooker and plumbed in a dishwasher.


Winter is always an incredibly busy period, so homeowners are urged to book their boiler service in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

With energy prices on the rise, homeowners and landlords are looking for practical ways to reduce heating costs while keeping homes warm and comfortable. At Harnce Heating and Plumbing, we believe small changes can make a big difference. Here are some expert-backed strategies to lower your heating bills without sacrificing warmth. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Heating Systems If your boiler is over 10 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Modern boilers are designed to be much more energy-efficient, helping to cut down on unnecessary energy use. If you’re unsure about the efficiency of your current system, our team can provide a professional assessment. Optimise Your Heating Controls Investing in smart thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) can significantly reduce energy waste. The new Honeywell Home Thera-6 TRV, for instance, is designed to help those with vision impairments easily control their heating while maintaining efficiency. Smart controls allow you to set heating schedules, ensuring you’re only using energy when you need it. Consider a Recirculation System Did you know that recirculation systems can save an average household 7,787 litres of water per year? They can also reduce gas bills by up to 38% by ensuring that hot water is available instantly, preventing unnecessary water and heat loss. Improve Insulation and Draught-Proofing A well-insulated home retains heat better, reducing the need for constant heating. Consider upgrading loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and sealing draughts around windows and doors. Even simple solutions like heavy curtains and draught excluders can make a noticeable impact. Adopt Smart Heating Solutions Heat pumps and multi-temperature systems are becoming increasingly popular as energy-efficient alternatives. Solutions like Danfoss Ally and Icon2 integrate seamlessly with heat pumps and allow for zoned heating, meaning you only heat the rooms that are in use. Regular Boiler Servicing & Maintenance A well-maintained boiler operates more efficiently, reducing energy waste.
