Not sure what you would have to pay if this was the case!


It's intolerable, how the industry has been allowed to undermine people's
expectations, frequently relying on their natural ignorance, because the
word
"gas" naturally instills fear and they take full advantage.

Someone here a few months ago, said that their boiler WAS 8 years old and
so
should he be looking to replace it ! Such wastefulness negates any saving
in
energy, that technology is purported to deliver.


Hear hear!
