excellent personal service.
I needed to replace an electric panel heater so I called the manufacturer who put me in touch with CEF. When I called the phone was answered straight away by Jordan Turner. He suggested it was best for me order online and sent the link. I ordered around 3:00pm and the heater arrive the next day - postage free! It took minutes to disconnect the old heater and fit the new.
