ENERGY EFFICIENT & SAFE SYSTEMS, DESIGN, INSTALL, COMMISSION & SERVICING
John Francis “One-Stop Shop”
With many years of experience we offer standalone, ‘One-Stop Shop’ services without the need to rely on other trades for installation, service or repairs of all the systems below:
- Oil, natural & LPG gas, electrical heating systems.
- Traditional Radiator & also underfloor heating systems
- Renewable air/ground source heat pump installation.
- Solar Panel Water Heating
- Domestic hot & cold water, mains or private well supply systems
- Legionella inspection/eradication.
- Unvented, mains pressure hot water cylinder installation
We can offer sound advice for customers considering the pro’s & cons of renewable energy systems such as Heat Pumps, Solar Water panels, aimed at cutting CO2 and their running costs. If you are considering Bio-Mass boilers we also have an excellent relationship with our local company AD Heating Ltd who specialise in the installation, service, and maintenance of biomass boilers, solar thermal systems, and solar PV systems and are experts on these systems. JFES opt out of these systems as often “too many Chefs spoil the broth” and as we say, “sharing is caring”.
Our Expertise at Your Command:
JFES designs, installs, commissions and services traditional and Hi-Tech heating systems, hot & cold water systems for homes, commercial catering appliances for restaurants, take-aways & fast-food Van and LPG gas appliances onboard boats and mobile homes.
We are fully experienced with oil, natural gas and, Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), electrically powered systems & appliances.
After-Care for our system installations, annual servicing and ad-hoc breakdowns are carried out quickly using latest diagnostic equipment and direct-links to manufacturers technical support departments to find faults quickly and restore your system to fully functioning as soon as we possibly can. Call us with your requirements and some details and we’ll tell you exactly what, when and where we can satisfy your needs. We have, for good customers also executed out-of-hours and weekend operations where totally necessary.
Our advice is practical: ask us whether a combi is right for your house and we may suggest a cylinder system instead, explaining the pros and cons.

Heating systems, water services & advice
Complete systems or a replacement heat source
Whether you need a full new installation or a replacement boiler, the whole system matters. We can explain the pros and cons of different makes, models and system types, considering reliability, efficiency, your budget and the heat and hot water you need. We offer a free survey and quotation for installation work, and advice on standard and extended warranties.
Traditional heating and controls
Boilers and radiators work well when they are designed and installed with care. Suitable controls and insulation help you get the best output for the fuel used. We can guide you through heating-control options, including Hive, Nest and Drayton Wiser.
Underfloor heating and renewable energy
Underfloor heating frees wall space and uses low-temperature water, making it a good partner for heat pumps, solar-assisted cylinders and traditional boilers. We install systems in new builds and retrofit them to suitable solid or timber floors. We can discuss renewable options and how they work with your existing heating to reduce fuel use and environmental impact.
Water services
Our services include system flushing, water-filtration plants, correcting pollutants in private water supplies, and Legionella inspection and treatment. We are trained in the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.
Servicing and repair appointments
We can schedule annual servicing to help prevent breakdowns and maintain the manufacturer’s warranty requirements. A straightforward service generally takes 45–90 minutes.
Where parts are required, we aim to complete repairs within a day when parts are in stock or available locally and your schedule allows. We do not simply stop at 17:00: we make every effort to restore your system. Visits up to 20:00 can be arranged where they suit you better, with timings discussed at least 72 hours in advance. Please agree availability with us when booking.
Landlords, fuel lines and tanks
We provide landlord gas-safety checks at fixed fees based on the number and location of appliances. We also install gas and oil supply lines and oil tanks.
Location & areas covered
JFES are located in St Katherines, near Inverurie, and normally operate within a radius of 30 miles from our base in AB51. We have also been asked to carry out larger installation, repair and refurbishment jobs as far as AB30, AB35, AB37, AB45 and AB43.
AB51 is our home territory. Travel time over 30 minutes can incur additional costs unless the overall job is substantial. Distance is not an issue for us, but for small jobs, travel time and fuel costs can make a visit uneconomical. Please call to discuss your location and the work required.
Where a visit is not practical, we have frequently guided the enquirer by video call to correct a boiler or heating-control problem, including Hive and Nest, and return the system to operation. Any payment for that help can instead go, to the enquirer’s satisfaction and goodwill, to a local charity of their choice. If you have received that service from any of our fellow heating professionals, please let us know.
