ADEY HELPS SOLVE RUGBY STAR’S HEATING PROBLEM

When World Cup-winning rugby player, Steve Thompson, put a call out on social media about a problem he was having with his heating, ADEY and Sure Maintenance were quick to step in and help.

During the cold snap in December 2022, Steve noticed that the radiators in his 1930s semi-detached house were not working properly. They had multiple cold spots and even when the heating was turned right up, rooms were still cold.

Spotting Steve’s request for help on social media, ADEY got in touch and recruited the help of local heating engineers, Sure Maintenance.

“We sent a manager out to Steve’s house to check there wasn’t an issue with any of the boiler components,” said Pat Coleman, Managing Director at Sure Maintenance. “But the water test confirmed that the system needed flushing, so we arranged a date for our engineers to return.”

Using the MC3+ cleaner from ADEY to help lift the sludge and the MagnaCleanse system flush meant the system didn’t have to be drained down and the flush could be carried out in one day without turning the heating off and keeping Steve’s home warm at the same time.

After the system had been flushed, a MagnaClean Professional2 magnetic filter was fitted under the boiler and dosed with inhibitor to keep the system protected from the damaging effects of magnetite.

IDEAL HEATING INTRODUCES ‘ONE MORE MAX’ PROMOTION

Ideal Heating is offering installers the chance to earn a Connect points bonus worth £300 by fitting just one more of its boilers than they did during the same period last year.

Through the company’s “One More Max” promotion members of Ideal Heating’s Installer Connect loyalty programme can claim the one-off bonus, on top of their normal rewards, by installing one more Logic Max or Vogue Max in the same qualifying period last year.

So, if an installer registered five installations of the Logic Max or Vogue Max during 1st April – 12th July 2022, they can claim an extra £300-worth of loyalty points by installing six between 1st April – 12th July 2023.

Installers with two or fewer registrations of Ideal Heating’s Logic Max or Vogue Max products in quarter two last year, or who weren’t members of Installer Connect at the time, must install at least three between 1st April – 12th July 2023 to be eligible for the extra bonus.

Luke Pykett, Head of Brand Marketing for Ideal Heating, said: “We want as many engineers as possible to take advantage of our limited time only promotion. It’s our way of rewarding our longstanding engineer partners for their loyalty, and new engineers for giving our range a try with the added benefits of our free Installer Connect loyalty scheme.”
