any part of our service or our products, please contact us on info@gammaheating.co.uk. We will deal with your matter as soon as
possible but if we can’t, we will inform you regularly.
Domestic Use: GPHE care plans are only available for appliances used inside your home for domestic purposes only. These
packages may benefit landlords and gas safety checks (CP12`s) can be provided at additional cost.
Price Changes: Your prices will remain as agreed and will not change for duration of agreement (every 12 months your agreement
is reviewed)
Internet Based Heating Controls: We do not cover internet-based controls under any of our current care plans, however, most
controls come with manufacturer’s warranty and if it’s within the manufacturer’s warranty we will replace them free of charge in
the event of a failure.
Our Responsibilities: We will meet our responsibilities under your agreement(s) within reasonable time unless it's impossible
because of circumstances outside our control.
First Initial Inspection: Before your agreement starts, we will need to carry out an initial inspection of your boiler and its controls,
plumbing, gas pipework and electrical installation to make sure they are in good working order. Our engineers will issue an
inspection certificate to show what they checked. We will carry out this inspection before your agreement(s) starts. If the initial
inspection revels a problem, we may: (1) Tell you what work is needed and what it will cost you for that work to be carried out. (2)
Refuse agreement until the problems have been solved.
Types Of Emergencies: We at GPHE will determine the severity of the emergency which will determine the speed in which we will
react. Please note, in cold months this may take a little longer. However, you are a priority as you are within our care plan(s).
Change of Ownership: We will not carry out a first inspection, if we have already done so at the property within 12 months.
Annual Service: We will inform you when your annual service is due and will carry it out same time each year where possible. This

cannot gain access to your property, we will arrange another appointment at suitable date for you and us. If we cannot gain
access to the property on second visit or you do not arrange second visit your agreement will continue even though we have been
unable to carry out the service and you may not be eligible for repairs. Third visit will be charged £82.50+VAT

Magnetic Filters and Scale Reducers: We will repair and maintain any magnetic filters and scale reducers on gas or electric
appliance under our care plan. We will also clean magnetic filters as part of annual service. Unless it is deemed unpractical to
access or it is clear that leak may occur.
Powerflush: We use powerflush pumps to clean the system to remove sludge and corrosion deposits from your heating system. If
we recommend you require any powerflush work done, we will charge you to undertake this work £35+VAT/radiator, boiler or
cylinder. Once it is finished, there will be no charge in the future, for any powerflush work that may be needed, as long you keep
continuous GHPE central heating care plan. When repair is needed due to sludge or corrosion deposits and we have not told you
that you need powerflush. We will attempt to carry out the repair (excluding powerflush) and will do so at no extra cost. However,
at that point we will advise that powerflush is required and until the powerflush has taken place (either done by us or test sample
is sent for analysis at extra cost), we will not cover any ongoing sludge or hard water issues within the boiler or any components.
