Free Boilers.

[SimonG]

Went to an existing customer last night. Wants some new bath taps. No problem and I can do the boiler service at the same time. Oh no need. I have a new one. A company phoned one day, sent somebody out next day and changed it two days later. They took out a 6 year old Worcester condenser and swapped it for exactly the same boiler. Didn't even change the flue despite it showing signs of the outer flue rotting.

Why??????

Customer got mugged.

She never paid a penny.

All manner of grants at the moment mate - all they have to do is lie about the existing boiler on the survey, claim it's old and less efficient and get government funding. Who' actually going to cross-check what boilers have been taken out?

And that's our taxes paying for it, I hasten to add!

how much do you want to bet either the boiler is going to get fitted somewhere else or on ebay pure profit

I lost out on a boiler few months ago and couldn't work out how they had a free one. Mates old man phones me for new boiler , quote him one never heard a jot . Bumped into him few weeks later and he said he got a free one on a grant.
Couldn't work out how as he's minted !!!

Attendance Allowance opens doors for boiler grant: £2300, independent of other income.

Over here there is up to £1000 grant towards a new boiler if old boiler is over 15 years.
It is earnings related, but not savings
