Meet the Client
The Johnson family live in a 3-bedroom semi-detached home just off Wigan Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield. They contacted us in early autumn because their existing boiler — a 15-year-old conventional model — was struggling to keep up.
Problems They Faced
- Radiators were warm at the top but cold at the bottom.
- It took nearly 10 minutes for the shower to heat up.
- The boiler was making loud noises and costing a fortune to run.
Our Assessment
We carried out a free home survey and quickly identified sludge build-up and poor water pressure. Their tank-based system was outdated and not suitable for their modern usage.
The Solution
We recommended installing a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 combi boiler. This model is known for its energy efficiency, quiet performance, and powerful hot water delivery — ideal for a family of four.
Installation Details
- Duration: 1.5 days
- Services included: Power flush, thermostat upgrade, removal of tanks from loft and airing cupboard
- Warranty: 10 years
The Result
“Our home heats up twice as fast and we’ve noticed our energy bills have dropped already!” – Mrs. Johnson
