Do people here generally agree with what he told me?

That new boilers cost about £900 and a new main circuit board costs
about £600 so its worth getting the 'call out' type insurance, to
cover it, if it goes wrong. Of which he thinks Eion and Southern
Electric are the best to get. (he doesn't work for either of them).

He also said if the main circuit board goes its almost work paying
out the extra £300 and get a completely new boiler. (of which he
thought Valiant and another make {which i cannot remember what he
said} are the best.
I find it staggering that there are not people out there who can
repair these circuit boards without paying £600 for one.

Paging Geoff. Would Geoff please pick up the white telephone.


Everyone seemed to be doing quite well without me

Yeah, I'm the man who repairs boiler pcbs

well, not me personally any more, but www.cetltd.com


Has the OP been going around with earplugs and a blindfold? Never
watched watchdog or any of the other programs that has shown BG up for
the rip off artists they are? I expect some of the employees actually
get drawn into the bull****
