Boiler Deals & Offers

Thanks.

Don't know what you're smoking or quite what your comment means as I politely explained you were giving £50 to source it ....

Wow. I had a combi boiler installed for £250 by a gas safe engineer and baxi approved. But had quotes nearly upto 1k. They must pull these prices out of their ar*e!

Here are some for you to understand: STRANGE-O

Read again £50 more. Could it be more than what?

Honestly, switchover was painless and really quick. Not had any issues since I joined in Nov. Only con really is they make you pay your first bill upfront.

Cannot comment on the customer service side which is all what this company is really. It uses contractors to fit meters and we all know that they at paid per meter , let that settle in. Also they don't do smart meters just a buy and sell company.

What are bulb like?

I switched from EON a few months ago to bulb and saved £400/yr. This might be a cheap deal, but dam EON rips you off on energy. Have a look on uSwitch today and see if you can get a better deal. If you find bulb is the cheapest too, send me a PM - can forward you my link for friends for £50 when you switch.

Hi please can you let me know details of fitting engineer you used for installing your boiler?

Updated, I got the code from a lad at work not a letter.

As others have said, this deal is for the first 6 months ONLY, the plan will revert to full price after the first 6 months. This will have been specified in the original offer letter where the promo code was found ... Poster, please correct within your description, to prevent others falling foul of this misleading offer ...

@Docman Mine is exactly the same. Took out £9 a month with £0 excess. Documents came through stating £9 a month for 6 months and £18 after. Doesn't say that nowhere on the site, not a happy bunny

Took the policy out yesterday and then cancelled today as customer service saying half price offer only for 6 months then returns to full price- although nowhere on their website does it say that...

Can't see the problem here. You get an annual service plus breakdown insurance underwritten by Sun Alliance. Unless others have bad experiences with Corgi HomePlan, then this deal outshines the opposition. What's not to like?

I have a brand new Hive 2 active heating without installation Hub, Thermostat sealed and the receiver which is not compatible with my old thermostat ( has two wire ) so I will not keep it. Text me. BR75JD

offer seems to have expired

The price without the hub and no installation is £99 how do you get it for £79.20? https://www.hivehome.com/products/hive-active-hubless-heating-self-install/buy?cid=Campaign_Medium%3Daffiliate_Campaign_Source%3Dawin_Campaign_Content%3Ddigidip+UK+and+USA+-+Incentivized&data_layer_product_load=true

persevere i had to put phone down twice on clueless operatives 3rd one was ok and my order went through ok , just waiting on it now

Ok wtaf is the craic with these fools?? - I can't add the product to the cart - the incomprehensible person on the helpline asked me for account details, which I don't have - there's nowhere to register on the website as far as I can tell - the website advertises subscriptions but doesn't say that you do/don't require one (only partially related) - nobody responded to my online chat How do they sell anything???

Genuine question, where can you get an Ideal Vogue fitted for £1200?

Baxi boilers are the ones I'd recommend too

I have an Ideal mini which is 16yr old, has had a thermostat sensor this year otherwise nothing. I also rent three houses which have vokera boilers. One has been okay, one had had an expansion tank and the other, which was my late dad's house, was a pain when he was alive. My plumbers don't recommend new Worcesters due to plastic parts inside which break. They say the Ideal Vogue models with 10yr warranty fitted for £1200 are currently the best. Need a service every year but this can be done at same time as the landlords cert for essentially nothing

It's not only British Gas that come out with that type of statement. The person involved was an old pal from school who does my annual gas safety checks. He would give me a good price, Yadda, Yadda, Yadda... I've used him for almost a decade but he blew it with all that crap. The new chap that repaired the Vokera will be getting my business from now on. He can supply and fit a new gas boiler for roughly 33% of the school pal ..

I bought a Vokera gas combi boiler from Screwfix back in 2006. It was flawless up until this year when a circuit board started to fail. Got it sorted out for £100 with a local boiler engineer. I asked about new boilers and which were the best. He said, "it's not about which one is best, it's more about which one is less $hit!" I'll hopefully keep going with the Vokera for a while yet!

Keyword alert? Huha? Not so deals, you might need to sort your search out. I never signed up for this crap

Both times I had BG engineers. Maybe I was lucky

The problem is, it is mainly contractors doing their work, and there is very little come-back at them if they do a shoddy job; if you have a good set in your area, be very thankful. They managed to pipe my mums house up back to front; then did a bodge repair they hid under the carpet; never even refitted the floorboards correctly. Sister stupidly gave them a maintenance contract at our old nursery; first time something went wrong they tried to claim we needed a new boiler; called in a local guy for a 2nd opinion, and he fixed it for £5 (plus his fee). After that we switched to him.

Had 2 call outs this year. No excess. And they sorted it straight away

BG = Wunch of bankers. Will wiggle out of a warrant repair any way they can; and if forced to do it, will do such a bad job, you end up paying someone else 3x as much to put the botch right.

Yup, show's over folks.

Says 124.99 on both sites. Expired?

Amazon price matched a few days ago. BT had still not got past the 'allocating' stage for my order let alone shipping out so I cancelled it and ordered from Amazon and it arrived the same day. Note to retailers: this is why Amazon is destroying you.

Bought - thank you!

I have this with my new valiant kit. Put it on a new vaillant and you can’t beat it. For new vaillant system boilers with a cylinder you don’t even need them Honeywell valves

That thermostat is sure big and ugly. It looks like ambisense is another smart heating product and is expandable and not compatible with vsmart which I think it replaces. Have to do more research on which one to go for.

This might be an option

Further research and seem Vsmart does not support heating zones :( I guess I can use those old fashion manual radiator thermostats instead.

I don't think vsmart will do zoning. Might be wrong though. Ask Vaillant tech support they are usually helpful (y)

Hi Chris_freeman i got a 21yr old gloworm. Standard set up with tanks. Its serviced every year, never failed. I want to replace with a Worc bosch or what make do you recommend? (Combi ) 4 bed detached 13 rads boiler in garage so no issues with size etc. But will need 5 mtrs copper gas supply pipe only 15mm at the moment. Whats the average labour to swap a standard boiler for a condenser boiler? Thanks for your time. Mark (y)

Thanks for that information. Maybe after this packs in then can look at something better quality.

Vokeras aren’t great. But cold weather shouldn’t cause it to just break down. Assuming the boilers in your house (not a garage and installed without a frost sensor) Most common reason for not starting in the cold weather is the condense pipe is running outside and is too small. Causing it to freeze. The condensate will end up backing up into the boiler causing it to shut off. Usually along with a banging noise. Best thing is to trace the white 21mm(ish) pipe that goes out side and pour hot water over it to defrost it. They should be run inside the house where possible, but the regs state that if it goes outside it must be in 32mm. So might be worth getting it upgraded to prevent it from happening every winter. Hope this helps a bit. Hard to diagnose something without seeing it lol

What's your opinion on Vokera? We have it at the moment. Only stopped working back in the last big freeze when everyone's did. Do you have any advice please to stop a boiler from breaking down during a big freeze?

Anyone have much experience of intergas boilers ?

This company is terrible. They'll make every excuse under the sun to get away with you making a claim.

Current issue?

Worst company I have ever dealt with. Ever!!!

Reading the reviews on TrustScore it looks like people have had a lot of issues when it comes to claiming, even for minor repairs

That one does not include central heating (such as pumps, valves) on pipework These are the parts that commonly go wrong

£2400 was with hive and system filter she also gets 5yr warranty part and labour no call out charge

British Gas === Rip off. Guide price for top range boiler installation around £2000 all inclusive, may be less in the North.

New boiler £1000 to buy yourself. Good local plumber, £500 to fit, not bad shift if it's a like for like boiler.

My mum and dad go quoted £8000 off British Gas for a while new system. Got it done for £3000 in the end by a local company

Should be £1600 Ish

Can’t please everyone

Riveting, is there a sequel coming? ;)

There are lots of deals on here that I don't think are deals, But this falls into the same category as the packet of cream crackers that are 10p cheaper this week than they were last week at Morrisons, If I can Google Boiler filling loop and get an eBay return for £5.54 with free delivery, Can't really call this a deal, And it just clogs the site up, But your at 200 degrees, So what do I know.

Hi thanks for you input. I understand you aren’t going to like every deal! I know there are other products available at a similar price this was more aimed at showing a decent deal and to prepare for the upcoming winter which could possibly save someone from having to call out a heating engineer and sort the issue themselves (y)

I did, This is a ridiculous thing to post, Were are you getting the 31% off, It's £8.25 in there printed catalogue, It's one of thousands of things in there catalogue that may or may not be cheaper than last year, Should we go through the whole catalogue just randomly posting stuff that's cheaper than last year. This is the sort of rubbish deal that just clogs up the site, Of all the good deals the Mods delete because they don't meet some arbitrary criteria, They let junk like this stand, Shame I only get one cold vote.

Terrible company

I was put on to an agent after 10 minutes. Still no reply so I am sceptical. :/

I am asking if them if they auto renew,

Aaahhh...I think I know what that means ;)

Come back and update. Hope it doesn't cost you!

Every third Thursday of the month

People who live in houses without a cooker? They do exist. Usually houses in multiple occupation

You use an ice cream maker as much as that?!

Ha ha ha. Yet again I have to say that I love this site. Yes, I buy things that I don't need because of it. But its worth it for the laugh I get from comments like these. The pure anger coming from some of you over an egg boiler (lol) If it annoys you that much, don't buy it!

You could buy 2 of those from yesterday at £6 each, make 8 eggs at a time and save 79p? But at the end of the day, I think we all just want to throw off the yoke of boiling eggs in a pot (y)

My point was that it isn't really free though. Yes, if the cashback is paid in 6 months then you can cancel and you make a £2 profit (if everything pays out). ...BUT if you take up the offer of the the annual service or make any call outs and then leave before the 12 month minimum term, you are charged full price for anything you've had (according to the terms and conditions) If you didn't get charged then this would be a smashing find and I'd have snapped it up.

Similar story to everyone else find a local plumber you can trust. I had the good old service when I was with them before then I used someone else who took a good hour to actually service it and even showed me everything British gas had missed was a real eye opener. I wouldn't let them near my boiler if it was free. Just con men up selling stuff.

Sounded fantastic until I read through the comments

Had home care cover for years now and really got my money back several times over. Always have to negotiate prices every year but then again I have to do that with all insurance and phones and internet etc. Would always highly recommend this cover.

Be aware of the old boilers T & C! Good thing I became my own engineer! Circuit board changed- Check Pressure sensor changed -Check Diverter valve changed- Check Paying over the top for simple jobs - FAIL!

expired. was about to buy as well and they've put it up to over a grand. what a joke.

I might be looking at this wrongly or missing something but don't you use energy to keep the water at boiling temp all the time?

I think so yes, Most likely power near as dishwasher in etc We have these at work, to be honest its nothing special...

Not everyone does, I agree, but a very high or very low temperature is usually a good indication. I'm talking about people complaining anyway, not the post temp

I usually buy 240 kettles

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
