Yearly servicing

Your home, serviced every year

One visit looks after your boiler or heat pump, your hot water cylinder and your air conditioning. We’ll remind you when it’s due, so it never slips.

Why it matters

A warm home, hot water and no surprises

Your heating works hard all winter. A yearly service keeps it running the way it should, so the house stays warm, the hot water keeps flowing and your bills stay sensible.

  • Keeps your warranty valid. Most boiler, heat pump, cylinder and aircon manufacturers ask for a yearly service.
  • Lower running costs. A system that is set up and running well uses less energy.
  • Checked and safe. Safety checks every year, and small problems found before they become breakdowns.
  • A local team you can trust. The same people who install systems across Fernbrookshire look after them.
One visit for the whole home

What we look after

Most homes have more than one system. We service them all on the same visit, so it’s one appointment and one reminder each year.

What happens next

What happens after you sign up

No long contracts and no chasing. Just a friendly reminder each year and a team that books you in.

  1. A welcome email from Alaix

    It confirms the systems you’ve told us about and how you’d like to pay, and asks which days and times suit you.

  2. We book your first service

    The team arranges a visit at a time that works for you. Just reply to the email.

  3. A thank-you after your visit

    If you pay once a year, we’ll mention our plans once, in case spreading the cost suits you better.

  4. A reminder when your next service is due

    Every reminder offers to find you a slot, so booking takes one reply.

  5. You’re always in control

    Reply to any email to book, tell us it’s been done elsewhere, or stop the reminders whenever you like.

FAQs

Servicing questions

Do I really need a service every year?

For most systems, yes. Boiler, heat pump and cylinder manufacturers usually make a yearly service a condition of the warranty, and it keeps your system safe and efficient. Many small faults are found and fixed at a service before they turn into a breakdown.

Does air conditioning need servicing?

It’s recommended, and many manufacturers ask for it to keep the warranty valid. Clean filters and a quick performance check keep it efficient and the air fresh. Because nearly every home with aircon also has heating, we do both on the same visit.

Why does my hot water cylinder need checking?

An unvented hot water cylinder, which most heat pump homes have, stores hot water under pressure. Its safety valves and expansion vessel should be checked every year by a qualified engineer, and manufacturers usually need this for the warranty.

What is system water quality?

It’s the condition of the water that runs round your radiators or underfloor heating. Over time it can pick up sludge and debris, which causes cold spots, noise and breakdowns. We test it and clean the filter at every service.

Is breakdown cover included?

No. Our plans cover your yearly service, not repairs or parts. If something goes wrong we’ll always quote first. Fernbrook Care Plus does include no call-out fee.

Do I have to join a plan?

Not at all. You can pay once a year and still get the same yearly reminders. A plan just spreads the cost and includes the service.

Can I stop the reminders?

Yes, any time. Reply STOP to any email, or use the form at the bottom of this page.

For testers

Testing notes

This is version 1 of the Digital Toolbag service plan blueprint, with Service Manager AI writing every email. In a real account the waits are weeks and months. Here, every wait is 1 minute.

Try it two ways

  1. Sign up on a plan, then again with a one-off payment, and see how the emails change.
  2. Reply to any email if you like. Replies go to the team.
  3. To end a run early, use the form on the right.

What we’d love to hear

  1. Would you be happy for these emails to go to your customers with your name on them?
  2. Do the number and timing of the reminders feel right?
  3. Does the plan offer feel natural, too pushy or too soft?
  4. What’s missing for your business: SMS, WhatsApp, your job management system, taking payment?

Known limits in version 1

  • Emails are plain text from a shared demo address. Branded sending needs your own email domain.
  • No SMS or WhatsApp yet.
  • Payments aren’t connected. The office sets up the plan after sign-up.
  • Marking a service as booked is a form here. In a real account the office, or your job system, does it.

Testers: every reminder email links here. In a real account, the office or your job system marks the service as booked and the reminders stop on their own. Here, this form does that job.
