Hi All

Your favourite sponsor has FIVE (count them, one, two, three, four, FIVE) Intergas boilers to give away. Each one is worth a thousand (inc VAT) of your Great British Pounds.

Absolutely free. No charge. Not a penny. We will even throw in a jig, flue kit and delivery. Your bank balance will not be depleted by so much as a brass farthing.

Before I go any further, I should express my inestimable thanks to Mr Steve Zouch, Mr Jim Boyce and Mr Andy Burton of Intergas for their spectacular generosity in providing these boilers, and for their bottle in putting their product in front of all of you for honest review.

The boiler in question is the top-of-the-range 30kw Combi Compact ECO-RF. This is not the boiler that most Intergas users will be aware of (the HRE is the well known one). The ECO-RF range is a souped-up version and has all the features one expects of Intergas - easy maintenance, separate expansion, just 4 moving parts, legendary heat-ex, hot water available even when the pump fails, along with:
  • Built in Honeywell RF programmable stat
  • 10 year warranty* (so long as you attend the manufacturers training course)

If you will forgive me for lapsing into the vernacular, this is the mutts nuts.

To qualify for this freebie, you must be:

  • a Gas Safe Registered engineer.
  • the main decision maker in your business.
  • An Intergas virgin. So you must not ever have fitted an Intergas boiler, or been on one of their courses.

By submitting your application for a freebie, you agree to the following conditions:
  • You will attend an Intergas training course (approx 4 hours) at one of their 21 training centres around the country before you receive your free boiler.
  • You (and your customer if necessary) will co-operate with the Intergas marketing team if requested for photos and/or interviews
  • You agree to write an honest review on this forum of your experience with the training course and the boiler. The review does not have to be positive, but any criticisms should be constructive


Here's how this will work.

Starting this weekend, once a week for 4 weeks, I will post a question on this thread, along with an invitation to contact me via PM. The question will relate to some technical aspect of the boiler, so you might like to have a browse round their website to get ahead.

On each occasion, the first 7 qualifying people to contact me with the correct answer and their contact details, will go into the pot for a free boiler. By a process which is entirely private to me and Intergas, and against which there is no appeal, the winner of the freebie will be selected. Over the course of the week, we will reveal the name of one loser per day, eventually unmasking that weeks winner. We will then start the process again for the next week.

Winners cannot re-enter, but if you are one of the unlucky 6 who are rejected during the week, there is nothing to stop you having another go next week.

Winners of the Vogue freebie which we ran last year are specifically excluded, just to spread the love around. :)

But that's FOUR weeks and there are FIVE boilers!

Don't worry. One of the winners has already been selected. The first person (apart from the individual concerned) who can tell me who it is, and why, will receive a bottle of champage from me personally to celebrate their percipicacity.

So watch this thread with care- and await the first of the killer questions!

And thanks again to Steve Zouch and the team at Intergas for being such open-handed good sports.

That will be laughing at 6 of us this week
 
Can't enter as I'm not eligible having installed Intergas before. Seems a bit harsh to exclude the very people who are most likely to be purchasing them in the future?!
 
eh! i missed it :(

been in leeds all day, some of us have too you know just to make ends meet. bought the family a bag of chips home for sunday dinner out of my earnings as i feel flush earning £5.50 an hour. got to get the kids some new shoes for tomorrow as there toes are sticking out the old ones. but i should have just enough to pay the bailiff's fee at 6;30 in the morning.

you wont be having a sale on theese will ya?lol

Isn`t it all about stealing installers away from there usually choice of boilers and using UKPF to spread the word with the reviews? Companies don`t give away 6K for nothing.
 
I suppose so. They are decent boilers. Good prize to the winners. Hope they go to a good cause.
 
Very pleased to be in the first 7.
I'm a vallant man, fitted them for as long as I can remember. If IT was a free Vaillant I would just be getting a free boiler. Though that would be appreciated, I would not be spreading the word or increasing there sales.
So this competition needs installers that have never considered or fitted intergas.
The only flaw with this is that you have to be on the forum when ray sets the question, luckily, I was.
Good luck to all.

Pretty much the same as you except I fit Worcesters, tired of the rep not really giving a monkey about me and thinking he is the best thing in the world when in reality I sell his boilers not him!
 
Tell you what, at the end of this round, I will add one more freebie: the new Intergas Rapid Combi.

And entries will be limited to people who have fitted at least 3 Intergas boilers and registered them.

Is that fair?

Nah, I think I will mix it up. It is in Intergas best interests to get the widest possible range participating in the thread. And to be honest, I come on the forum in what I laughingly call my "spare" time, and that doesn't work to a timetable.
 
So the week 1 draw has 7 players:

Anz
Riley
CH4
IDChappy
Chalked
Hammers4spanners
Solutions

Who will be the first to catch the train to outs-ville?

Should we have a phone in?
