Loads of posters on MSE have received huge quotes from BG. I have two boilers and BG's quotes were £thousands more than a factory approved(Viessmann) local fitter each with a 10 year warranty. He also quoted for Worcester Bosch at the same price.
It may be "interest free" but the cost will probably be significantly higher than having the work done by an independent plumber even if it does need a bank loan to spread the cost.
Energy companies are not usually known for generosity towards their customers
It'll be massively inefficient, I know that but I have other things that I need to spend money on right now.
My own Baxi boiler is now 15 years old and is serviced regularly by a local trusted plumber. When I mentioned to him 3 months ago about getting a replacement boiler, he told me not to be so stupid as my boiler is working absolutely fine and probably will do for several years yet, arguing it would take literally years for me to recoup any energy saving costs on a new boiler. His words, as long as it's serviced regularly, it's safe and if it ain't broke, don't fix it!'
British Gas followed up the quote and then tried to get me to let them quote me for a lesser boiler so they could be more competitive. Thought that was very funny.
