Highlights
"Earl was wonderful, he arrived promptly thoroughly assessed problems unlike the last engineer. Nothing was too much trouble, even when unexpected issues arouse he remained calm and sought solutions. I would definitely recommend Earl for his integrity, honesty and professionalism."
"Earl, thank you for your prompt and efficient service. Really appreciate you being so dependable"
"It’s 7.30pm on a Friday night and the boiler wont work after suddenly shutting down. It’s mid February, cold and we've got a 7 week old baby & a six year old in a cold flat with no heating or hot water. Tried several ‘out of hours ‘ companies but all on answerphone or just no reply. Thankfully we found Earl at South City Heating , Croydon . What a great guy and craftsman ! Was with us within half an hour , diagnosed & sorted the fault. Considering he was with us for over an hour the call out charge was very reasonable. Highly recommended and would use him again without hesitation."

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
