Why are home owners reluctant to commit to a Home Heating Cleaning Service.

Due to various reasons there can be a general reluctance by home owners to sign up for a cleaning service, even a single clean. This has become more apparent since the coming of the cost of living crisis.

  • Not a priority: 
    For some, a heating system service is a lower priority than other household expenses, especially if the system is currently working without issues. 
     
  • Lack of immediate need: 
    If there are no apparent problems, homeowners may feel there is no immediate need to book a service, especially if it involves an upfront cost. This is compounded by the feeling that the benefits of cleaning are not always immediately apparent. 
     
    High cost: 
    The cost of cleaning and maintenance can be expensive, especially for newer technologies like heat pumps, which can lead to disillusionment. 
     
    • Two bed house: £300-£400 (6-8 radiators)
    • Three bed house: £400-£550 (8-10 radiators)
    • Four bed house: £550-£700+ (10+ radiators)
     
    Hidden costs: 
    They may be unaware of how much they are spending until the bill arrives, particularly for additional parts if a repair are needed. 
  • Poor installation: 

    A negative experience with a previous installation can make homeowners distrustful of the entire process and the companies involved.
