Discounts for own boiler

[capitanpugwash]

Hi all

Been away for a while chasing customers (and my tail) and boilers. It's all been so hectic I pop in here occasionally and have a quick look what's going on, but like your mate who lives round the corner, you often end up not going out for a pint for months.

Anyway 😛arty::8:

I remember reading an article or advert in one of the mags about boiler discounts if you are gas safe and install one of their boilers in your own home. I think you kept your merchant receipt and they gave you back 30% or 40% if I remember right. The point was that you get asked: "What do you have in your home?".

The bad news news is that I think it may have been form Ideal. Given that I would be replacing an Ideal that's there already I would have Gasman's axe there anyway in case the old one is as bad as the new one. I asked the Vaillant rep about running a scheme like this but have obviosuly not heard back since 😛.

Does anyone know any other manufacturers who do this?

Cheers

I think Worcester are running this offer. Or at least they were. I get their monthly magazine thingy through and there's always some smug git with a new Worcester that he's fitted in his own place.

Thanks,

I'm sure there was also something manufacturer specific that gave all installers an additional 30% off or something like that unless I dreamt it.

Cheers

Just got a boiler stove for home (off gas) Plumbcentre said they would do me a good deal as for my own home.......... got it online £175 + vat cheaper! (stoves are us)

Trouble with plumb center is the best they can do is cost plus 5% but their cost price has got an amount built in for overheads etc. so they are hamstrung even if the local branch want to help you out.

I heard a rumour, ands it probably an urban myth. But apparently one of the manufacturers was doing areal that for every certain amount of boilers you installed you got a free one. And the bloke in question took the free one out the box to hang on the wall and it was pink.
how true that is I don't know, but it was told to me by one of the chaps in parts centre.

Im all for pink. Got loads of pink socks and boxers. It surprises quite a few customers but is quite a good conversation starter when I'm sitting in front of their fire stripping it down 🙂

They have always had discussions as to weather the bird in the mona Lisa painting was smiling or not, I'm pretty sure that if she knew she was on front of one of their boilers it would be safe to say she's is definitely not smiling 🙂
