TV adverts for gas boilers

Hi new to forum and looking forward to gaining some useful information.
I'm wondering if any one has any thoughts on the TV adverts regarding replacing boilers and paying over a period of up to 3years?
appreciate that there is interest on the offer, however as I'm using a very old gas boiler at present and not able to afford new outright wonder if this is a good deal?
Would appreciate any feed back.

    Not really. If your boiler works then leave it as it is.

    How many kWh do you use per year on your gas bill currently?

    What model and type is your gas boiler? Do you know it's efficiency rating? It should be in the manual. If not you can roughly figure it out from the input/output figures. Does your boiler have a pilot light?

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Take a cheap personal loan and and finance a new boiler that way?
    But only if your old boiler is problematic...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
