Is this really an economical way to install a combi?

[mickyg]

can you possibly say "you" instead of "ya" we're not in "da ghetto" now.

 

[doitall]

do you not agree its common knowledge bg cost more on installs? and iam willing to bet the op accepted the 1st price he was given!

No, but I'm willing to bet there's a sales shark, given the old dears the mouth.

My ex's dad is as adept at using the net as the next guy, and he is not that far short of 100. He might not compete at the London Marathon, but still sharp as a tack.

Thanks Tony for the advice and I plan to write to British Gas. Especially as when I called the installation manager back he found it difficult to admit that it could have been done any other way. He did admit it at one point then back-pedalled hard when I asked why I wasn't given the option at the quotation stage.

And thanks htgen, I might take you up on that.

Yes, there was a salesman at the start. Very impressive, they are with their laptops. They ensconce themselves in your house, print stuff off, make a strong case about how they are backed by this that and the other watchdog, explain why their system is so effective then give you a discount if you sign there and then.

Yes it was certainly a mistake. I mistakenly thought that British Gas would be reliable, trustworthy and economical.

 

[Deleted member 105431]

they are reliable, and trustworthy

utter bull$hit.

 

[Deleted member 105431]

Next time I'll get a "cowboy" to do it.

what do you mean "next time"?

 

[doitall]

Don't be surprised when BG issue their operatives with horse and carts.

The only thing a BG sale shark has missing from his bag of tricks, is a Colt 45.

 

[hunchermuncher]

Well, following everybody's advice, I wrote to BG and within a week they phoned and a couple of days after that arranged to send round an engineer to rectify their work. Result! (Hopefully) They are coming tomorrow.

By the way I'm not quite an OAP yet. But I guess we all will be one day. Ageism never helped anyone.
