Hippogriff   10 #6 Posted September 12, 2014 Ideal Logic+ 30. I also had a magnetic filter fitted and some TRVs. I got a Salus wireless thermostat too. No movement or upgrading of pipework involved.  Total cost was £1,455 (this was in May).  I considered a lot of boiler options... the Ideal Logic+ comes with a 7 year warranty and although Ideal had a bad reputation of late, this range is said to be much better and, I think, their confidence in their product is shown in that 7 year warranty.

corgigasman   10 #9 Posted September 13, 2014 we had someone come to our house saying we could get free loft,cavity insulation and free boiler fitted under the warm house agreement if you earn under £16,000 or on certain benefits  That is correct. Under ECO scheme, if you have qualifying benefits (child benefit, disability etc below £15860) you may qualify for free boiler (assuming existing boiler qualifies) and other energy saving measures.

muckymurphy   10 #10 Posted September 13, 2014 we had someone come to our house saying we could get free loft,cavity insulation and free boiler fitted under the warm house agreement if you earn under £16,000 or on certain benefits  we dont get any benefits and our income is too high. we had a quote from a telephone cold call. quote was £3600 for cash or easy terms were £50 per month for 10 YEARS! SILLY ********! i dont think these companies realise we are not desperate or stupid. the only reason we are looking at deals on offer is so that our budget will extend to a new kitchen and bathroom as well as replacing the boiler. boiler is at least 15 years old, works fine 99% of time but we are told by eon that our high gas usage is down to the boiler.
