strawb 3652 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 A new boiler is about £1400, depending on how big you need it to be. Not including fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4810 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I noticed a company called Boxt that do monthly payments with no up front cost of a new boiler. Get servicing and parts lobbed in as well over the term. Not delved too much into it as don't have any boiler issues at mo but might we worth a look. Edit: Just noticed Strawbz mentioned them as well. Edited January 13, 2023 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I've looked at them - it's a bit like a car pcp deal - you don't own the boiler at any point unless you cover the full price. Bloke's here at the moment so I'll know soon what the outcome will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The thorough cleaning /service did the trick so my boiler's completely sorted - result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34166 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It's 2023 lads. Nobody really owns their boilers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26168 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Far more efficient these days to give them a lift half way home then rape them and bury them. Edited January 13, 2023 by ewerk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38556 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Currently have British Gas ripping up floorboards trying to find a leak. Our boiler is emptying itself within 20 minutes of filling. We’ve exhausted all options bar tearing up the kitchen floor at this point. Fuckitty fuck arse shit piss cunt.

If BG weren't there I'd check if it isn't all venting outside but I'm guessing you and they have checked that already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17610 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 That's shit MF, stuff like this can be really stressful. I had a BG service last week and although everything is tickety boo (should be, the whole system is only 3 years old) we failed the service because THOSE CUNTS AT EDF WON'T GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER OVER MY SMART METER. Beyond a joke now like, we had to get a new smart meter installed when we did the rennovation, and it has never worked. So the BG engineer could't verify the gas flow, hence the fail. Worse, we literally have no idea what we are using and haven't been billed for over a year, which in the current climate, is stressful. Had 3 people out, say the meter is fine, but it still won't connect. We've escalated our complaint as far as we can within the company, they ignore all complaints by e-mail. Impossible to get through to anyone remotely competent. Oh yeah, they also said they would put up our DD up to £850 per MONTH without explaining on what basis. So anyway, we want to leave EDF. However, am I right in understanding smart meters only work for the company who installed them? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38556 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Of course, nowt’s straightforward- been in this house since 2018, new boiler last January with a 5 year warranty. The warranty is registered under our previous address for some reason, and changing it, which you’d think would be easy, is not.… … because of “the system”. Which means that the leak detection team will be given the old address to go to. Fuck me with a rusty stick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17610 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Modern life. By rights we should be well on the way to having stress free lives, with technology having ssorted out all our problems. No work, no money, sipping blue synthahol cocktail, getting noshed off by filfthy Romulans (maybe). Instead NOTHING FUCKING WORKS the way its supposed to. Fuck technology, bring back paper bills charged in sixpence pieces and meat delivered by the butcher boy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a recent thing though. On a side note I can't get a compatible IHD to work with mine but there is a free app called IVIE which gives me costings and usage retrospectively every 24 hrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
