The ultimate Intergas virgin freebie boiler thread

If it's the later I'm safe!!:59:

Now, we need to catch up from last night, don't we?

 

[Riley]

Very much so

 

[Ray Stafford]

Hey Solutions!

Are you still here?

 

[anz]

Good luck guys, only four left.

This is where it gets interesting.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Hammers? How about you?

You still here?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Factoid of the day.

Solutions real first name ends with an "m"

Hammers real first name ends with an "m"

Of the two finalists, only one of their first names ends with an "m"

I wonder if either of the other two have names ending in "m". Actually, I don't wonder, because I know.

Heh heh

Now, before we get all excited about kicking people out, lets reflect on the 10 year warranty enjoyed by the Intergas ECO-RF range from 1st July.

Obviously there are terms and conditions, and I think we all wonder exactly what percent of boilers get serviced annually every year for the first 10 years of life (apart from social housing).

So - is there a huge advantage to having 10 years instead of the 7 years enjoyed by the more common HRE range?

And how do you guys feel about being required to go on a course to access those bigger warranties? Does that work for you?

Good evening Ray, what have I missed?

Good evening Ray, what have I missed?

Well, I left a really subtle clue about Anz being knocked out, but everyone missed it. <sigh>

And its clear that the final will be between someone, and someone else!

We were all hoping it was a mistake.

I did say "do you want a clue?" in the post that missed your name out...

no one took me up on it...too cryptic obviously!

 

[rpm]

Well I have to admit that sometimes you can be too subtle my friend, for example going back 2yrs to select somebody and ask who and why that somebody should be selected was a touch too much. lol

Maybe so. Was it really two years? I would have guessed 12 months, maybe 18 months tops.

Perhaps because it stuck in my mind as an example of gentlemanly conduct, I expected it to stick in others' minds also. Mea Culpa!

 

[rpm]

Maybe so but you had time and cunning on your side to plan whilst the boys were eager for a freebie so I guess any deep thinking or trying to second guess you was expecting too much.
How long did you have to plan out of interest?

 

[Ray Stafford]

How long did you have to plan out of interest?

About 45 minutes.

 

[rpm]

About 45 minutes.

Then I find that quite worrying that you remembered that person for however long it was 12 months or 2yrs.

 

[Chalked]

Anything happened????

To answer your question about the 7/10 year warrantee. I hate them. They are good for selling boilers, but not good for the installer when after 9 years and 6 months, the customer rings up and says the boiler has stopped working and it's under guarantee. ( but has never been serviced since new) who do they call? Ghostbusters? No the installer.

 

[smtplumbing]

Chalked that's tuff cheese for the customer. I got a email earlier that intergas will now be emailing and sending out reminders with your price of the service which means it's good for you.

 

[hammers4spanner]

I often wonder if long warranties will actually be honoured by the manufacturers at the later stages of the boilers lifespan.I also would say probably only half of customers get the boiler serviced yearly to continue with the warranty . The other half ask for a service after five years when an issue arises expecting you to back date it.
