BOXT - any good ?

MouldyOldDough

Our boiler needs replacing (it popped this morning and is now dripping water)

Are BOXT any good ?

Do they work on Saturdays ?

Personally I would always used a local trusted installer.

Boxt installers work to a price, and won't spend any longer than the minimum to replace your boiler. You will get a working heating system, but there might be some compromise on neatness. I've never heard of any installs that took place on a Saturdays. 

Have you had a good heating engineer to look at your existing boiler? Any damage may be repairable at a much lower cost that paying Boxt for a new boiler.

They do work saturdays - extra £50 charge

the boiler is 18 years old and needs replacing anyway

BOXT are the only way to get a next day replacement

Local fitters will charge much more - the current worcester boiler cost £1600 fitted

My plumber advised me to go via Boxt rather than directly to him because he can't get anywhere near the price match on the boiler.  Personally I found Boxt brilliant.

Any tradesman who is available next day clearly doesn't have much work on...

Do you have the current one regularly serviced? If so, and you're happy with the people doing it, can't they offer anything?

Whoever you go with though, make sure they're an accredited installer by the boiler manufacturer so that you get the full warranty they offer - ther's a good selection with 10+ year warranties.

If you are looking for a Worcester Bosch boiler, speak to Worcester Bosch directly. I used them for a fasttrack installation and they were about £500 cheaper than Boxt and also gave me their latest smart controller for free which would have cost me an extra £200 with Boxt

Or inversely could be a tradesperson who is looking for a bit of overtime, especially with school holidays and festive season on the horizon.

Their 2 Year intrest free, if still available swung it for me, like you have only good things to say about how our instal went.

Used BOXT in my old house, was a good install to be honest and didn't have any issues. I even got cashback via topcashback
