I needed to obtain my HETAS certificate and initially noticed that the company had registered it to the wrong address. I contacted them by email, and they responded very quickly.

Breeze Creter was extremely helpful and guided me through the whole process until everything was corrected. I was very impressed with the communication, professionalism and level of service throughout.
I’m very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Breeze Creter for the excellent customer service.

Excellent service from start to finish.

I recently dealt with Barry Mairs, who was professional, friendly and knowledgeable throughout. He took the time to explain everything clearly, carried out the work to a high standard, and left everything clean and tidy afterwards.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Barry to anyone looking for a reliable HETAS engineer.

Abbie Bennett HETAS

Abbie Bennett from HETAS has always politely and professionally sorted out any issues that I have come up against with HETAS as an installer. Their tech and systems can be clunky to say the least with the shop platform a challenge! (the answer phone with its options is a total frustration). Trying to purchase things online impossible but each time I have needed a solution then Abbie has genuinely sorted me out on over the years! Trying buying a Data Plate or sthg over the phone I defy you! So thanks due to her for keeping me same and keep up the good work!

Falls short of what the consumer needs

Whilst the objectives of this organisation are probably noble, the outcomes are poor for consumers. It is often difficult to check on whether a contractor is Hetas registered because they often operate under trading names which are different from registered names. And when you do find the contractor, they don't display the registration number on the listing so you can't check.
My recommmendations to Hetas is that they should not just list the names of businesses alone. They should list individuals by name and their registration number, and they should compel trade members to show their registration online and on their correspondence / invoices.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we genuinely appreciate you highlighting these points.
We fully recognise the importance of making it as easy as possible for consumers to verify whether a contractor is HETAS registered. Our website includes a search function that allows users to look up businesses by both business name and registration number. However, we understand that trading names can sometimes differ from legal registered entity names, which can make this process less straightforward than it should be.
To help maintain trust and accuracy, HETAS undertakes routine registration checks to ensure that businesses are registered under their correct legal entity and that their insurance details align with their registration. This is a key part of how we maintain the integrity of the scheme.
We also encourage all registered businesses to clearly display their HETAS registration number on their websites, correspondence, and invoices, and to link directly to their HETAS listing wherever possible. This improves transparency and allows consumers to verify credentials quickly and with confidence. Alongside this, our team is always happy to assist directly if anyone needs help confirming a registration.
Your suggestion around providing more detailed listing information, including how individuals are represented, is appreciated. We are continually reviewing how we present information and how we can further strengthen transparency and usability for consumers. As a not-for-profit organisation, we do need to carefully balance enhancements with available resources, but ongoing development in this area remains a priority.
Thank you again for your constructive feedback, it plays an important role in helping us to continually improve.
