I'm bit unsure of comments and replies as not sure of DCFC79 said:A credit card at 0% could be an option.How many quotes have you got ?Seems a bit steep for a boiler, what does the £1900 cover ?this site so please forgive me if not responded to correct messsage🤔Shakin_Steve said:Spreading the cost of a boiler over ten years is not advisable. Most boilers will have run out of steam (see what I did there?) after 7-8 years, and you'd need to finance another boiler while still paying for this one.
I still wouldn’t finance it over 10 years though.Who was this through? Have you tried the likes of BOXT?0 -
So you're getting finance via the boiler supplier? Can you not get a better APR with a personal loan from your bank?0

Yes through boiler company, no tried that...to borrow 2,000 it's 18 or so %0

Try BOXT
They will give you an immediate quote online.
I would never get an alpha on finance. Ever.That’s my opinion on that.I’m fitting a Baxi 830 with a Nest. Few bits and pieces for £19501 -
Right ok I will go online and look at Boxt, thank you so much.0

Most boilers will have run out of steam (see what I did there?) after 7-8 years, and you'd need to finance another boiler while still paying for this one.Seven to eight years might be a little pessimistic. I've seen them go 15 years, and never had one last less than 10. Maybe I've been lucky, maybe it's related to my policy of buying slightly more powerful boilers than my house actually needs (so that they're never strained).But I agree with others: financing over 10 years is inadvisable. Personally, if I needed to spread the cost, I wouldn't do it over more than about four.0
