Wow that's quite eye opening! Although the bg deal i've been offered is decent to be fair i'm definitely going to seek some more local quotes, thankfully i'm not in a immediate rush so i will try seek out some word of mouth opinions since as has been stated the fact a local fitter has a reputation to uphold/build vs a contractor who won't care so much is a key point.

Have a look for local installers off this forum and get them to do a quote for you

Also bg don't offer any more that 2 years warranty on any boiler same with help link so don't let them kid you.

Also I heard help link had started closing down

Get one of the local fitters who quoted you for a logic + to quote for a vogue. You ll get a 10 year warranty instead of 7 and you won't be paying a monthly subscription for the pleasure like you would with BG. You ll probably pay a local about the same for a vogue as you would BG for a promax. The boilers are worlds apart. The quality of the vogue is superb, a premium boiler. The promax is BGs budget option.
Over the years as you have more call outs to the promax you re monthly premium will increase. With a 7 or 10 year manufacturers warranty it won't, there is no monthly payment.
With a local installer you ll meet the fitter at point of quoting and get a pretty good judgement of him from that. With the big companies it's pot luck who s allocated the job who you get. Don't get me wrong, they have some superb engineers who will do lovely job, but they also have some awful ones.
