I take advice where relevant and am happy with my decision. I have a good, serviceable boiler fitted by a guy who worked hard to ensure everything was done right.
Think you will find you have had a boiler fitted illegally by a guy who has given you bad advice.
The boiler you have listed is band b and we are not allowed to fit them.

I am not trying to get at you. It is hard for us gas engineers anyway without these cow boy plumbers fitting band B boiler and not reg them.
We are not allowed to fit band b boiler this is not an assumption.
You didn't reply when I asked if the boiler was reg with building control so I will make an assumption on that and say it hasn't unless you tell me over wise.
So all in all from what you have told us you are advising people on boilers or at least giving an idea on price when your boiler could have been fitted illegally and I am just trying to point these points out.
I do not want to slate you because I am sure you have had it fitted in good faith.X British Gas engineer and X BG sales adviser.

Also make sure you are getting an A rated boiler.
Plumbers can buy band B boilers a lot cheaper.X British Gas engineer and X BG sales adviser.

Band B boilers banned from October
24 September 2010
Band B boilers are to be banned from October 1st, homeowners have been warned.
From this date, installers will no longer be allowed to fit Band B condensed boilers into properties as part of changes to Part L of the UK building regulations.
However, consumers who have already ordered a Band B condensed boiler will still be allowed to have one installed until April 2011.
Band B oil-fired combination boilers can still be installed in properties.0 -
