There is, however a catch.

You have to buy through one of their
approved installers, and there
does not appear to be any control over
prices that they charge for installation.

Not so. You can buy a boiler direct and when fitted they drop £50 off
the
already very low prices. Ring them up. You have to pick up the boiler
yourself or the local Plumb Center may deliver free. That is something
you
can arrange with them. They will send an info pack. The catch is if
your
local council is in with the scheme.

"Through EnergySmart, heating installers nationwide can access to
discounted solar systems and boilers. Through this service we aim to
increase the installations of these measures to make energy savings
and help the environment."

I said ring them up.


What is the catch with the local authority, apart from the obvious
drawback of doing anything involving them?

Not all LAs are in the scheme, although most are.

Are you saying that it is not a condition of the scheme to use one of
their registered installers?

Yes. Ring them up. They will supply only, and drop you £50 when fitted, by
way of a letter from you.
