well I went on the site, entered my make and model of boiler and it so old
it has no grading (but likely to be less that 70% efficient)

But it then requires me to buy from a dealer rather than purchase off the
shelf at B&Q etc.....

so I save £ 400 by getting a rebate, but pay £ 2000 to British Gas for the
privilege.

Anyone found the work around yet?

Thx for that .Where does it say you are required to buy from a dealer
( altho' that is likely to be the case) ...The info seems scant at
present .

I like the quote

"Bear in mind nationwide firms may be a little more expensive but often
provide comprehensive after sales service and support packages."

I can't find anything via Google either.
I have emailed Ideal to see if they can tell me a rating.

They only seem to have recent-ish models on that site - certainly for Baxi -
don't know about others.

Get it from the official source! http://www.sedbuk.com/

Tried to search their database and it was as much use as an udder on a bull!

For the boiler I removed and replaced with a Grant boiler some years
ago, we had the amusing message: "Your boiler is unrated because it's
obsolete or very old." and "SAP Seasonal efficiency 70%".

If it wasn't rated, HTF do they know what its efficiency is?

Wouldn't admitting "we don't know what the efficiency is so we scored it
at the lowest level" have been more honest?

I think my Kingfisher of at least 25 years vintage and still going
reasonably well until a couple of years ago when I dumped it got the
same message .

I used that site and wasn't impressed - it seemed to be all gas
boilers and I've a oil fired one. I can't remember quite what I
googled as I did it earlier on, but I dug the site that I found
excellent out of the browser History :-

http://www.sedbuk.com/index.htm

Covers all the oil ones too and has a selection mechanism that
includes 'obsolete'. Now it may well be that this is just a different
front end to the same database, but I got the info on my Boulter
Camray external (Cat D).

Not using British Gas would seem to be a good starting point...
