How are products tested at BestHeating?

Product testing is a completely crucial aspect of the operation for any radiator retailers worth their salt. At BestHeating, we ensure that every single radiator is subjected to factory-level testing prior to sale, providing the utmost peace of mind for customers and reducing the risk of quality issues or potential returns.

Each BestHeating radiator undergoes pressure testing to a 10-bar setting, thread inspection, flow testing, paint adhesion testing and finish quality checks before being made available to buy.

Initially, pressure tests confirm the radiator can safely handle operating pressure in a heating system, with flow testing done to trial the water circulation throughout the component. Thread inspections decipher that pipe connections and radiator valves fit correctly, whilst paint adhesion tests help to verify that finishing coatings won’t peel or flake easily in time.

What’s more, aside from radiators, other product categories use different testing processes as well. For instance, our electric heating products are tested to check electrical safety levels, the performance of electric elements, thermal behavior and the reliability of software to work successfully with smart heating controls.

Every radiator range from BestHeating is independently certified to BS EN 442 standards and are CE and UKCA marked.

What are the delivery terms from BestHeating?

One of the biggest issues, and sometimes deterrents, from purchasing sizeable home improvement products online is uncertainty surrounding delivery.

BestHeating removes the uncertainty.

Simply put, orders made and paid for by 4pm on Monday to Friday are dispatched on the same day, with alternative options available for pre-10.30am, pre-noon, named day and Saturday delivery also available. Plus, two-person hallway delivery is available for orders with larger or heavier items.

Standard delivery typically arrives in one to three working days, and orders totalling £399 or more are free to postcodes in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Isles of Scilly, Shetland and Orkney. For orders below that threshold, a charge of £6.99 will occur.

What guarantees do BestHeating offer?

The provision of impressive guarantees or warranties is an obvious indicator of the level of confidence a retailer has in its products. At BestHeating, over 71% of our entire product collection comes accompanied by a 20-year manufacturer guarantee, whilst our electric underfloor heating mats are backed up by a lifetime warranty.

Below are some of the guarantees attached to our most prominent product ranges:

  • Designer radiators – 20 years
  • Stainless steel radiators – 20 years
  • Electric radiators (Glycol) – 20 years
  • Aluminium radiators – 10 years
  • Heated towel rails – 10 years
  • Underfloor heating mats – Lifetime

These guarantees cover any manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship and are received and handled directly via BestHeating as opposed to a third-party claims system.

Claims against the guarantee could require proof of purchase, proof of installation and photographic evidence of the problem.

It should be noted that these guarantees are provided further to normal statutory consumer rights.

Is BestHeating a trusted retailer?

Trust is an extremely important aspect of any online buying journey; never more so than with larger home improvement purchases.

BestHeating is proud to boast a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot from over 69,000 verified reviews and be ranked as the number one radiator shop on the platform.

That volume of reviews, and subsequent proportion of positive feedback demonstrates a consistent level of product quality and excellent customer service over a sustained length of time, rather than a handful of recent positive reviews.

What if there's a problem with my BestHeating order?

BestHeating will always strive to provide our customers with the best experience possible, from initial purchase to delivery and aftercare. However, if you do identify any issues with your order, it’s important to know what kind of support is available.

We offer a 30-day returns policy, DPD drop-off returns, two-person collection services for larger products, and dedicated customer service support via phone, email, live chat and WhatsApp.

Claims against guarantees are authorised directly through our own in-house support team, so if a product arrives damaged or develops a manufacturing fault, customers can get in touch quickly through any of the above channels. Our team will ensure products are assessed correctly and processed quickly.
