Hi, I now have my new boiler installed by BG and I can only offer praise for their service. It took 1.5 days and the installer phoned today to see if all was OK. Nice blue dust sheets were unrolled like staircarpet, I was called "sir" and no mess was made. Today I had cavity wall...

I agree with the last speaker :D . I will let you all know in due course if BG did a good job or not. The Doctor

The BG man initially suggested a "hard wired" time switch below the boiler. He then suddenly changed his tune to the wireless stat/controller/timer in my hall. How much do these cost? The Doctor
