What customers say about… our advice

August 11, 2017 Admin

At Nu-Heat we answer hundreds of customer questions every week. From “can I have underfloor heating?” to “do I need planning permission for my heat pump?”, we are always happy to share our experience and knowledge to help you confidently choose the right heating system.

Here’s what some of our customers have to say about the advice we provide:

“Nu-Heat have been excellent. From first contact through to ordering the kit, you guided me the whole way, providing telephone and on-site advice. From what I have seen so far, Nu-Heat is a business with honesty and integrity.”

“I had a call with Holly about your products and services. I was really impressed with the conversation and the ability to make sensible proposals on limited information from me. Also, Holly has sent through more information, as she said she would.”

“I have just completed my order, having been advised by Lyndsey as we homed in on the right solution for our particular project. In all cases Nu-Heat has been responsive, no matter how often we changed our minds and looked at alternatives. Above all the advice has been knowledgeable and dependable. We are now looking forward to enjoying the comfort benefit of the installation.”

“Spoke with Like for the first time today. Extremely helpful and very clear in his explanations.”

“Purchased and fitted a OneZone kit after great advice from your sales and tech teams. Rather than quoting me the most expensive option, they quoted me the BEST option, which although cheaper was the perfect fit. As a manager of a sales team, this is the exact kind of customer focused approach I expect within my own company and to find it in practise elsewhere is really refreshing. I now have a toasty new kitchen, thank you!”

The above customer comments have been collected through our customer surveys and customer feedback process.

Celebrating our Customer Service Champions

October 13, 2016 Admin

As a member of the Institute of Customer Service (ICS), Nu-Heat marked ICS National Customer Service Week with a series of briefings, training and cross-departmental activities, culminating in our very own Customer Service Champions Awards on Friday 7th October.

Nu-Heat’s people were invited to nominate colleagues who have demonstrated excellent customer service skills in the categories: ‘Fabulous on the Phone’, ‘Using our Expertise’ and ‘Delivering on our Promises’.

Over 100 nominations were received across the three categories, and the judging panel had some tough decisions to make. After all the votes had been counted and verified, the achievements of nominees and winners were celebrated at a short awards ceremony followed by the obligatory tea and cake!

Fabulous on the phone

The winners

Fabulous on the Phone
The ‘Fabulous on the Phone’ award was presented to Fran Johnston, Administration Co-ordinator and a familiar voice for many of our customers and suppliers.

Fran’s colleagues say: “Always more than happy to help, Fran is a fine example of someone with excellent customer services skills. She is always positive, helpful and fabulous on the phone.”

Runners up James Davies (Customer Support Engineer) and Luke Tinmurth (Business Development Manager) were also highly praised for their excellent telephone manner.

Using our Expertise
Design Technician Tom Buxton received the ‘Using our Expertise’ award for his commitment to helping colleagues with processes and programmes.

Tom’s colleagues say: “Tom tirelessly helps explain work processes in order to make sure they are fully understood, and will often offer extra tips and advice.”

Sam Loader (Commercial Project Engineer) and Peter Bell (Systems Analyst) were also highly commended for using their expertise to help both colleagues and customers.

Delivering on our Promises
Field Services Engineer Will Blair was crowned winner of the ‘Delivering on our Promises’ category, and recognised for going ‘above and beyond’ to help our customers.

Will’s colleagues say: “Will is always willing to go that extra mile to make sure the customer is well looked after – even if it gives him a 15 hour day!”

Runners up Debbie Clapp (Project Manager) and Ian Weatherstone (Field Sales Manager) were praised for their work in keeping projects on track and ensuring that our customer promises are met.

Feedback from our customers, collected independently by the ICS, gave us an overall score of 88.8 out of 100 on the UK Customer Satisfaction Index – an incredible result that shows everyone at Nu-Heat is committed to providing an excellent level of service. For comparison, other top scoring companies included Amazon with 86.6, First Direct with 85 and John Lewis with 84.9. Customers frequently described Nu-Heat as ‘professional’, ‘efficient’ and ‘reliable’ and our team as ‘knowledgeable’, ‘friendly’ and ‘informative’.

Nu-Heat is dedicated to continuously improving what we offer our customers, so even with this fantastic result we will carry on looking for ways to deliver an even better service. Every piece of feedback we receive – whether positive or negative – is logged on our system to help us achieve our goal of creating happy customers who are proud to own a Nu-Heat system.

Customer feedback from July 2016:

“I’m very impressed with the attentive and professional attitude of all your staff.”

“Alec, my Account Manager, got a quote to me in super quick time so that we can progress the work. Thanks!”

“To say that we are impressed with Nu-Heat UFH would be an understatement. The guys fitting the UFH said that it is great quality. I have to say, the entire process was superb from start to finish. I am so pleased I chose Nu-Heat.”

“It is this kind of support that makes a company great.”

“Please send our sincere thanks to Holly for talking us through the options so clearly. We were very impressed with her knowledge. Also thank you to David for coming over to explain your systems.”

Nice to meet you

Whatever the stage of your project, and whether it’s your first or twenty first foray into warm water underfloor heating (UFH), it can often be helpful to discuss your plans and ideas face to face with an expert. Whether you are a homeowner, installer, builder, developer or architect, we like to meet our customers, and firmly believe that a friendly chat over a cuppa is worth its weight in gold.

Nu-Heat Account Manager, Simon Cook, discusses project plans with self-builders Richard, Graham and Freda in the new meeting area

As proud members of the Institute of Customer Service, we will always aim to offer the best possible customer experience. If you are not able to pop in, we can always arrange for one of our national network of UFH experts to visit you on-site.

What can you expect when you visit Nu-Heat?

We want every visitor to feel welcome and valued, and have recently finished work on a warm and comfortable meeting area which is designed to help you get the most out of your visit. This dedicated space showcases our latest products and literature, allowing you to get your hands on our range of UFH floor constructions and thermostats. Our building is heated by one of our screed UFH systems, and paired with a luxury Upofloor vinyl floor covering in our customer meeting area, the perfect partner for underfloor heating.

I am considering including UFH in my new project

That’s great! It is never too early to come in and have a chat about new build or renovation projects, and there will always be an expert on hand to assist. Even if you are just considering UFH as a possibility, we’re happy to speak with you about options to suit the project.

Pop in or phone ahead to arrange a meeting with a Technical Account Manager who can offer advice and guidance. They can help you to identify the best UFH solution for the project, taking into account the property type and intended use, the heat source (for instance gas, oil, solar thermal or heat pump), floor construction, installation considerations and any specific requirements. If you are working with a builder or architect, we can help to provide the specification information they will need to populate the plans.

I have decided to include UFH, but want to discuss the options in line with the plans

No problem. Bring the plans when you visit, and your dedicated Technical Account Manager will be happy to go through these with you. As well as seeing sample products in our new customer area, you can also visit our nearby warehouse and training centre to view working UFH systems in situ, learn about how they are installed and get to grips with which UFH systems best suit the project and chosen floor coverings. Your Technical Account Manager will be your main point of contact at Nu-Heat, and will work with you as the project progresses.

I have an ongoing UFH project, and I want to talk through the details

Of course! Call ahead to arrange a time to meet your Technical Account Manager and the Designer working on the project. They can assist with any questions you may have, and can also offer you a tour of the offices so that you can walk through the process that the project takes from initial enquiry to delivery.

Bespoke design, bespoke support

No two projects or customers are the same, and just as we design your bespoke UFH system to meet your specific requirements, we also want to make sure we offer you the level and type of support that you need at each stage of your project.

We look forward to meeting you!
