Boiler Deals & Offers

Everyone who works for a living provides a service to somebody. Landlords are no different. And when all's said and done, we all go to work to earn money. Landlords are no different in this respect either.

Do you have sources for your stats? If I said 99% of landlords are honest people who do any necessary repairs to properties on time and are fair with their tenants, and what you see on watchdog is the scumbag 1%, you'd scoff. Having worked quite a lot in privately rented properties, I've seen both sides. There are scumbag landlords who will spend nothing on their properties, regardless of tenant welfare. But I'm in properties more often than not to carry out repairs because of scum tenants who respect nothing and leave previously reasonable properties in a terrible state. My point is that there are a lot of decent landlords getting tarred in exactly the same way as benefit claimants.

In your imagination they are perks, for 99% of people on benefits those "perks" are just enough for people to survive. Unfortunately people see the other 1% on Channel 5 and tar everyone on benefits the same.

Not at all but I am chose whom I rent to. And I don't provide a service I provide an income for myself the same as you go to work to provide your salary.

You'll be telling us all you provide a service next. (angel)

Is got one

Yep got one! Thanks OP

Did anyone manage to purchase this before it went out of stock? This is a brilliant price for this!

Missed it!!!!

OOS

You demonstrate unparalleled symptoms of someone in complete denial. Bottom line is, I am right and you got firmly put in your place, just deal with it. (highfive)

You demonstrate appeal to popularity and wishful thinking . Followers are not proof a successful argument . Who is the greatest fool? He who follows or he who leads ?

I can see where the daily mail gets it's readers some upset on here they can't have a freebie mmmmmm must be taxing

Hmmm. Doesn't sound right. I know one tenant got a free boiler from a company that didn't even supply their gas. Boiler was ancient and apparently the energy company could use the carbon saving from replacing the boiler to reduce their carbon footprint overall. The older folks in our area were all offered this a while back. Not sure it's this scheme mind.

You've got three boilers. The tenants will have been persuaded to part with money under the premise of hugely reduced heating bills. Elderly private tenants are actually targeted for this reason

Good deal if you want the homecare, otherwise if you can wait the hive heating kit often goes on sale for a cheap price

Had my card but anyone had the quidco cashback yet? Logged a claim and it's been sent to retailer. Been like it for weeks

I have nothing but love for bg they have been professional every time I have had my money’s worth many times over, Saturday just gone f62 error engineer came Sunday replaced PCB same day and serviced the boiler third time over the years pCB has gone on a 9 year old valiant ecotec boiler ,and various other parts replaced over the years its worth its weight in gold I pay around £34 a month which also covers all my electrics and plumbing and appliances no call out charges, also had a new washer and dryer and loads of other stuff all hassle free I tryed corgi for a while never again you get what you pay for imo

Has anyone got their £100 prepaid cards yet?

Nope, normal detached house. Unfortunately it seems that it's all fine and their course of action is all above board - https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/help-and-advice/gas-safety-in-the-home/get-your-appliances-checked/flues-in-voids/flues-in-voids-faqs/

Do you have a commercial property

anoyone had a free service ?

Stuff the service, if its broke pay job done.

Sounds like a good result!

Update from me. Signed up on the 31st Dec. Received a welcome email on the 15th Jan, and no mention of needing to be ore-assessed before they will cover you. Nothing else received. Boiler was not working this morning showing likely PCB error. Booked a BG engineer Engineer came at lunchtime. Thought I needed to be assessed but said he would see what he could do. He found out I actually did not need to be pre-assessed on this product. I had my PCB replaced, it's 8 years old, and some work on my flue, a bracket was addeded as it needed one due to its length, as they have to give your boiler a once over. All in all a good experience. I may not have needed the PCB but it was fixed efficiently and new PCB so can't be too bad for £99. Will certainly give the boiler extra life. PCB would have been £125-£225 and bracket £15

Just read the above. I was not aware of the the 42 day Chech needed first. So that buggers me. Even though bg have supplied me energy? Non mention of it in their welcome email??

£35 quidco 😊

Decent local company and keep your fingers crossed? Seriously, these policies are like extended warranties at Curry's, etc. - the insurance company has to make a profit so, over time, you're far better off funding repairs yourself and saving their profit. Yes, you could get a big bill (though think what's the worst it could be) but unless you're VERY unlikely you'll be quids in on average.

Have been using homeserve for 4 years now. Never had a problem always came out next day fixed the issue even tho they were only minor fixes. No excess tho on the £1 pm deal. Only plumbing covered on mine

What's the alternative? Or are some people just having a billy downer in general?

Good offer as usual for 1st year. Best option is to switch between Homeserve and BG from year to year. That way you bag the introductory discounts as a new customer and grab additional cash back from tcb or Quidco. Been doing this for a while and rarely pay much more than £100 for a full years cover including boiler,central heating,plumbing and electrics. I find the quality of service.similar for both and,on the whole, pretty good.

link ? cant see any better value than this.

Only a tenner on amazon

1. I now need to look for a new boiler, apart from help-link and boxt, where else should I look for a reputable but reasonable priced boiler? 2. Look for a quiet (reliable too) combi, would you say Ideal or worcester? or what particular details should I be looking for? My current glow-worm 30cx is too noisy to my liking. Thanks

A Worcester Boiler or Valiant Boiler should cost between £750 and £1,400 max (depending on the KW output) and the labour around £500….. Hope this helps someone….

@rsl1uk how does this compare price-wise to boxt.co.uk ? Just had one installed by them and it came out a fair bit cheaper for me, curious how it compares for you too.

I’ve found British Gas engineers hit and (moreso) miss. All they seem to do when it comes to a boiler service is look at their Toughbook Laptop and stick a probe in flue port – if all the readings are correct and its burning fine then that’s it. Our local independent spends at least 45 mins on a service, opening up the combustion chamber and various other metal compartments and is rather vigorous with a large metal handled pipe cleaner – he also half the price of home care. One of the more unnerving experiences with British Gas was with our open Gas fire – It had a cracked burner, while it burned fine and never set off our C02 alarm it was obviously kaput and was noticeable just by looking at the fire without taking it apart – at this point it was largely decorational anyway and never used. Yet it was serviced by BG, taken apart and cleaned 3 times by them before an engineer finally picked up on the issue on the forth service and condemmed it, the other three hadn’t noticed a burner cracked completely in half.

Someone put the heating on.........this deal is cold (lol)

I have just called British Gas and booked a service for tomorrow. My first question to them was am i signing up to a boiler agreement. As i'm a British Gas customer until the 26th I asked if I was tied in to getting my boiler serviced by them next year, I was told no.

Well I have an energy account with BG ( until 25th September ) and they put it on that. Did eventually manage to cancel the agreement today.

How? No payment option is required for the free service?

BEWARE - if you book a boiler service like this they sign you up to an "Insurance and Repair" agreement, which you can not cancel online. I have tried once to cancel agreement by phone and they cut me off. Booked a phone call back. Did manage to contact the boiler service online. Surely this is unethical selling by British Gas, presumably it auto-renews if you don't cancel it and they take money from you :(

Ordered Thu late p.m. Carried out and completed by 15:30 Fri. No pressure to buy anything, mind you I have Hive and a Smart Meter. No problems.

My mates a gas safe plummer and fitted me a Worcester for 1200 ..properly

And anyone who takes a £1000 boiler and charges £300 to fit is either far too cheap or not doing it right. You can guarantee the system Isnt being flushed and a full commission isnt being done. It'll bite you in the ass when things go wrong.

Well you were robbed...

Moved my boiler from kitchen to garage and replaced old boiler with combi (Worcester bosch) also put trvs on all radiators. £4500. 7 year warranty as fitted by Bosch approved installer.

In order to select nearest first, go to the top right where it says sort, the default is best match, hover over this and select nearest first from the drop down menu. If for the sake of example we assume that you live in near Birmingham, you will find companies that will fit a Worcester Greenstar 30i Combi Boiler for less than £1300. Obviously if you want to move the boiler or add any extras, the price will go up. I would suggest that you add a Magnaclean filter if one is not already fitted, that should add about £120. One last suggestion, if you’ve got a hot water tank, keep it. It is so much more pleasant to live with than a combi, especially when there is more than one person in the house.

I have 6 pairs of these and the "gooch bit" wore out of all 6 quite quickly. Shame as they were ocmfey. need a new pants supplier.

Bought them all... over years and years....the good, the pricey, and the cheap as chips.... Most are OK for a quite a while.... but because they are washed more often than most other garments they suffer the most.... just buy now what in my hand feels good... and looks OK made...and on offer...bonus (nerd)

Falsely inflated rrp, you'd have trouble trying to find these for £11.95 anywhere Bought a few pairs myself for a similar price and not impressed with the quality after a few washes Worth about a fiver a pair so not much of a deal imo

Might worth adding 6 pairs to the title looks like it's £29.99 for a pair of pants at the moment

I had them come in they did some did a switch re wiring because apparently there were loose wires and now the central heating and hot water don't work independently apparently the diverter valves needs replacing. It was working fine prior to their arrival.

Does there cover replace diverter valves because they are telling me it doesn't

Not really, I'm on the mse fixed tariff, cheapest deal for me I could get at the time and still way cheaper than elsewhere at moment

Oh dear

Thank you.Booked

3yr warranty on the ones in b&m

I love poached eggs and it's the wife's birthday soon. Win, win. 8)

you are kidding!!

might get one for the wife

Haha never tried that on egg :p

Shocking service

Thanks OP, my homneserve renewal came today and has gone up £5 a month despite no claims, so have gone for this and cancelled homecare. I had the homeserver £6 plumbing cover last year and found them no better or worse then BG. New to topcash back though, so hope I've done eveeything right there, I'll check tomorrow to see if it's tracked.

Both options were showing with £65 cashback today. I went for the boiler service option as my Worcester boiler definitely needs a service and the cashback tracked straight away. It's showing as payable in 30 weeks, so we'll have to see how it goes.

Was thinking about this but the reviews on quidco aren't very good, in few cases the cashback hasn't been paid. I am not sure about TCB. That puts me off a little bit. Excellent deal if cashback tracks though.

​I'm with axa.

cracking deal and I'm not yolking!

Out of stock for delivery? That is indeed serious!

First serious comment. They're out of stock for delivery

Do these work? Are they for pooched or boiled eggs

Not eggactly going to set the world on fire. Alternatively, you can use a silicone cupcake case; makes them turn out all pretty, with fluted edges.
