Want to know more about the origin of our heaters, this will help.

The Chinese conundrum.

Are our heaters manufactured in China? 

Yes they are along with almost all the electrical goods in your home. From your Apple IPhone, your Sony TV, your kettle plus many many more.

Imagine walking in to Currys / PC World, look around at the amazing products. Now imagine walking in to the same store without all the products manufactured in China!

Are they the same as the ones retailing on Ebay? No they are not, not that there is actually anything wrong with some of the Ebay units on the market.

Why?

We order our exclusive units from a recognised manufacturer. We have strict quality requirements and procedures in place to monitor this, our heater units also contain our own software.

We import them via the proper channels, paying the appropriate UK importation/ taxation charges.

More importantly, we offer a full 2 years warranty on our products with local on the ground support and service should the need arise. We also offer an ongoing maintenance contract for subsequent years coverage.

The whole question of China has been generated by a very small number of retailers/ suppliers of alternative heaters here in the UK.  The one that seems to be most vocal appears to be 'Planar UK' Funny that, given that only a few years ago they were the ones branded cheap copies of another large brand

A relevant question to the slayers of chinese product in particular diesel heaters, just where are ALL the components of your heaters manufactured?

Yes they may be assembled in Russia, Germany etc, but that does not include where the component parts were actually made!

Here at ACLS, we could import the component parts of our units and assemble here in the UK, hey presto we have a UK manufactured heater!

 

Why are our heaters so cheap? Yes we do get asked this, but it might be better to ask the others why are your units so expensive! 

We know our costings, we know our profit levels and as a family run business are happy with that.

What we offer is a fantastic product at a reasonable / affordable price with local engineers and support staff to ensure our clients are 100% happy.
