Hello all, I just had a boiler fitted and I have a 2 yr guarantee, but the manufacturer has just offerred me a third year for £108. Should I take it? is it worth it for a 3yr old boiler or potentially just a waste of money. Thank you

NPower. Pulling a fast one?
I've got gas with NPower, and their latest bill has confused me no end. NPower raised their gas prices on the 4th Jan 2008, so as a result the bill for the quarter is split into usage before / after that date.

I live in Aberdeen and I currently deal with Atlantic E & G for both energy supplies. Every year I receive a rebate of one average monthly payment for each utility.
