  • Really pleased to hear the boiler has been fixed. Hopefully that’s an end to it, but if it isn’t, can you get a free boiler from any of the schemes? Xx

    The problem with mine was battery & signal related.

    Will be interesting to see if I get a bill as not 100% sure it is covered under the maintenence contract.

    Great news Beanie. I'm sure these boilers are more efficient but sometimes I think it was easier when you just controlled your boiler manually.

    I think you would be eligible for the new boiler scheme, worth a look.
