MSE_Jenny

Just got the following press release in case anyone's interested ...


Since the Government’s boiler scrappage scheme launched in January, npower hometeam has overseen the removal of hundreds of ancient boilers across the length and breadth of the country.

With record numbers of Brits taking advantage of the scheme, which offers consumers £400 off a new, energy efficient boiler when replacing one which is G-Rated, hometeam engineers have uncovered several antique systems.

Inspired by these discoveries, npower hometeam is launching a nationwide hunt to find Britain’s Oldest Boiler.

Richard Cotton, head of sales for npower hometeam, commented: “If your boiler is particularly old – perhaps the same age as your grown-up children, or has been in the house longer than you have been married – you could be the owner of Britain’s Oldest Boiler!“

The owner of the oldest system uncovered will win £3,000 towards a brand new A-rated energy efficient boiler, and installation.
