Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

[Scottyboi]

Had a look , they rang me as soon as my phone number went in, pretty hard sell , are they trustworthy ?

Everything went fine for me tbh, check their latest trustpilot reviews and see what people are saying.

I used these Kaz https://www.boilercentral.com/ sent a few pics they requested then all done in one day the same week.

I might keep them on file just incase sometimes ours starts to make all sorts of cranking noises, but the lad we called out managed to fix it twice, it’s an old one so expecting to replace it quite soon.

Our gas boiler is now 16 years old, there is no way we will ever install a heat pump despite the nanny state insisting. We will see this one out and get a new one before the sale of new gas boilers are banned, which will probably not happen in our lifetime, we are in our 70s so fuck Milliband

Get a new one will save you a fortune they are more economical these days and efficient, although I’ve no idea and didn’t notice but ours shit down completely for 6 hours yesterday! Very strange unless the pipe became blocked and we didn’t notice then unblocked on its own.

Thanks x

I've heard good reports about BOXT, although I've never used them myself. Might be worth a try?

I can highly recommend a heated throw. Heat the person not the whole house.

I have one myself.

Whilst a good idea it's not a replacement for some heating. Once a room's temperature gets to 15 degrees Celsius and below it becomes a danger to health when people aren't active and moving about.

Yeah you need something to take the chill off the room. But wrapping the throw round you keeps you toastie. 2p an hour to run as well.

I have got a quote from the boiler people of £2,700 all in ,nothing upfront , 0% interest over two years , forgot how much a month, less than a hundred

I take it i should bite their hands off ? Can fit this week , i am looking at the finances , i am maxed on two cards but still have an excellent credit score , taking on more debt is scary

Whilst i think about it i have two sets of jammys on today, , dont know why i didnt think of that before

If you can go for it, do it. It will be efficient and cost effective in the log run as well as keep you warm. My only pointer to add, would be to buy the best boiler you can afford.

It could be the boiler outlet pipe that froze shut. If it’s accessible (our boiler is in the attic and I need to climb out of the bathroom window on to our extension to get to ours) pour hot water on the pipe to thaw it out.

Life is miserable when cold, stops you being able to do anything especially with health conditions it just makes them worse. Will be a good investment in the long run and give you a better quality of life.

Ye I know pal that actually happened later on, I have a feeling it blocked, cleared itself, then blocked again which when I ended up put 3 kettles wirth on!

My boiler is twenty years old and has finally died, dead , not fixable , inconsiderately right before winter !

get 1 off the govt scheme if you receive any means tested benefit. If not, the local council should have a scheme to help

I have just had a new boiler fitted and it cost £2,450 so that deal looks pretty good.
Came with a remote control which is brilliant if you're disabled.

iHeat is another Kaz. Surely with your circumstances you could get a government grant.

Needs means tested benefit. Pip and DLA are not means tested.

DLAs a qualifying benefit for a Boiler grant under ECO 4 though.

Bit the bullet and the boiler is going in tomorrow , £108 a month for two years interest free . Have to live on beans on toast and maybe some cheese on it !There is so much damp in the kitchen it has to get heating on it , my man friday is coming round tomorrow to clear the guttering around the kitchen, before the next lot of rain at the weekend, seems to have caused a lot of it

Is ir right to take off the mouldy wallpaper ? I am thinking yes and let the walls dry out easier, tell me if that is the wrong thing to do

I fished out a fleecey hoodie which has been a game changer, warm the core is the trick, shame i forgot i had it in the cold spell !

I have damp clothes that i will be able to wash and dry finally
