New Boiler Savings with British Gas

By David Holmes on September 14, 2009

It goes without saying that gas central heating is fundamental to most homes across Great Britain. During winter, it is important to ensure that domestic heating appliances work effectively and efficiently. Although a broken down boiler will represent quite a considerable headache, the hidden costs associated with operating an inefficient boiler can hit where it hurts. However, the bank balance need not take a hefty knock this winter if the new boiler scheme by British Gas is taken up by those intending to replace their existing boilers.

British Gas Boiler offerCustomers contacting British Gas before the 31st October 2009 to purchase their new boiler will receive up to £752 worth of savings. Specifically, customers will be able to enjoy £300 off the price of a brand new boiler and up to £248 worth of radiator heating controls or their cash equivalent. In addition, Free HomeCare 200 will be included with the boiler, which represents a saving of £204. Although this offer is sufficient to justify switching to a new British Gas boiler, there are a number of other reasons why it could be worthwhile. Replacing a noisy, ageing or malfunctioning boiler is something that should be done sooner rather than later to save costs and ensure that the central heating system remains safe – especially with Christmas fast approaching.

British Gas also claims its new boilers can save energy consumers money. Typical estimations suggest around £235 per year can be saved on heating bills by switching from an old, inefficient boiler to a new British Gas appliance. Moreover, British Gas boilers are installed by fully qualified Gas Safe engineers and spare parts are guaranteed for a minimum period of 10 years.

    Having looked at your website I am unable to see the price of a new boiler – only the amount of discount. Can you supply the information I am looking for please.

    Hi, we replaced our 20 yr gas boiler with a new supposedly very efficient condensing one from BGas. The boiler was still working perfectly happily. We did it because it was old, and we read widely & hoped that we would save a substantial amount on our usage per year – around 20% minimum, and hopefully more. We also installed a central thermostat, in addition to our pre-existing radiator thermostats.
    It’s been in a year now, and the hoped-for savings just haven’t materialised in any of the 4 quarters so far – so this isn’t just a problem of the very cold snap in the winter. We haven’t changed our usage pattern, or our requirements of heat, hot water or cooking.
    It looks as though we will be saving a grand total of – wait for it – 5%, or around £80 a year. For an outlay of more than £3k.
    Not happy is an understatement – wish we’d left our old boiler in. Feel misled by all the advice. B Gas have been for an annual service & from a detailed discussion with the engineer, their advice is that we are doing all the right things, and the boiler & the installation is fine.
    Any thoughts?
