Service successes
A recent call from a local elderly persons home required assistance for their failed heating and hot water equipment.
A visit by our field based engineer confirmed the single boiler serving the property had suffered catastrophic failure.
Our technical management team were able to co-ordinate the delivery and connection of a temporary boiler to reinstate heating and hot water services.
Heating and hot water was reinstated to the home within eight hours of the original call.
Upon reinstatement of the services, Lord worked with the client to develop a design and programme for the replacement and upgrade of the plant room, the plant room refurbishment was undertaken with no down time of services to the residents.
The design included system redundancy in order to prevent the problems encountered with the existing systems reliance on one appliance.
An holistic review of the use of the occupied spaces enabled areas to be zoned, improving both occupancy comfort and energy efficiency whilst ensuring that areas were not heated when unoccupied.
As leading commercial heating, hot water and ventilation specialists who have served the Black Country and West Midlands for more than 40 years, we ensure clients know they can rely on us in the worst situations. We recognise the responsibility of providing essential services to vulnerable clients including healthcare providers, the NHS, elderly persons homes, sheltered housing schemes and schools.
During the Covid-19 pandemic we undertook a large number of equipment installations whilst maintaining a high level of reactive emergency service support for clients with our 24 hour service remaining fully operational. A typical response time from call to attendance on site was less than two hours. We did not miss customer service appointments and response times to breakdown calls were prompt. Our first-time fix rate improved.
This has been a team effort, with work going on into maintaining and improving our standards of service, despite COVID restrictions putting even more pressure on our clients and our own business. We have improved customer service and increased efficiency while ensuring every client knows that if they need them, they can call out Lord for help 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
