Question 4

How is GoHeat Kent keeping customers safe during engineer visits?

Accepted Answer

When you call to book an emergency engineer appointment we’ll ask you if:
 
You or anyone in your home has been diagnosed with Covid-19
You or anyone in your home is self-isolating
Anyone in your home is at higher risk – i.e. over 70, diabetic etc
If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, we’ll work with you to assess your need for an engineer visit before deciding what to do next.
 
We will also call you on the day of your appointment and ask the same set of questions, in case anything has changed since you booked.
 
When we do visit a customer’s home, we'll take additional precautions – including hand-washing – before, during and after the appointment. We'll protect you and your family members by keeping a safe distance at all times – and we ask you to do the same.

Question 5

How are you making sure your engineers are protected and don’t spread the virus to customers?

Accepted Answer

We’re contacting customers before our engineers visit to make sure they haven’t been diagnosed with Covid-19, advised to self-isolate or have recently returned from a high-risk area.
 We are keeping on top of our hygiene, including, but not limited to, hand-washing – before, during and after the appointment. Also wiping down areas that are touched with sanitising wipes. We'll protect you and your family members by keeping a safe distance at all times – and we ask you to do the same.

Question 6

What are you doing to help vulnerable customers?

Accepted Answer

We know things are particularly tough for vulnerable customers who need to self-isolate and we’re putting in place processes to prioritise their needs.
We’re also following official health advice and working with industry bodies to look after all our customers during this difficult time. If we all look out for each other, we’ll get through this together.
