Buying from Shop 4 Heating

Hi

I moved into a relatively old flat with electricity only as fuel. The storage heaters are around 20 years old. I was thinking of changing the storage heater but only the main one as they are very expensive.

I am considering Quantom. I am thinking of sourcing them myself and having an electrician fit them for me. From the search Shop 4 Heating appears to be the cheapest. However their prices are significantly lower than others including the electrician who said I can buy from him or from a third party (he charges installation fee separately). Any reason to be worried about? Any experience buying from them?

Thank you very much

    Two comments. If your electrician supplies & fits if anything goes wrong it's his responsibility. If you supply their could be arguments about who's at fault. Secondly they seem to have no feedback, which is presumably why you are asking on here.

    Thank you

    Yes it saves me the hassle of receiving the storage heaters (didn't realise they are so heavy), however the price difference is quite significant

    The thing is I want to be sure Shop 4 Heating is trustable because if not it will be very complicated to return heavy storage heaters (they told me i can't drive them back to their warehouse near Brighton or Bournemouth can't recall), had to be a pallet shipping company arranged for the returns for any issues.

    That was strange to me
