Compressor central heating - breaking every week or so

[NotebookNewport]

my gfs father has had a compressor type central heating installed.
It works for a few days. Packs in. Engineer calls after days without heating. Gets it going. Few days later packs in again. It’s only 2 or 3 months old. Total garbage. Looks like he didn’t pay via card.
What do people think of these systems? I think he was told it is government backed etc
Not sure who to complain to.
Any help appreciated

You mean a ground source heat pump?

Will find out. No hole boring just a box outside half the size of a small shed

Air source heat pump ?

Hmm.Government backed tree-hugger energy saving schemes.

Air source heat pump ?

I think that’s it. Anyone have any knowledge of them

I know I don't ever want to see a Worcester one again. I quite like the Daikin ones though.

You have one or worked on it?

I've wired several and repaired several others.

This is LG. It just goes off and won’t start. Been off since Wednesday

Don't know much about those, except the 2 I've seen were very loud in operation.

The girlfriend agrees with you.

Threaten the company with hell if they don't fix it, and tell them you want it removed and a refund given if they can't get it working properly. Tell them you'll do them for manslaughter if your father dies because of lack of heating. Tell them you want a site meeting with one of the directors to explain the faulty goods, and what they intend to do to get it working properly.

Threaten to reject it under the sale of good act.

I'd start with Trading Standards if you dont get any joy from the installers.
