Before we start, a few quick reminders:

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.

Two of these have now gone, to AtouchofGas and Solutions. Three more to go.


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.

No change there. Top guys.

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)

Smashing freebie! How do you get one?

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

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

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.

Simple eh?

Next step is:

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.

And this week's question is:

How long was the warranty on the ECO-RF range BEFORE the upgrade to 10 years which comes into effect on 1st July?






*from July 1st 2015

Don`t the winners have to go on the installers course first? Think Ray`s dropped the ball on this one tbh. Wonder if that`s why he put AP in charge? lol

Seen as this for a gas appliance, how do we know that everyone is gas safe registered?
Click to expand...

because Mr Ray didn't come up on the last banana boat. And because he has a fully paid up licensed service agreement with GasSafe Register. And because there is no way on earth that Intergas are going to hand over their valuable boiler to an unregistered cowboy.

The definition of being registered is... errr.. being registered. Not having a yellow badge on here. Its not like its hard for me to check.
 
Gizmolang, PadthePLumber - good to see you both taking a more active part in the forum.

Don't worry, the natives are more friendly when you get to know them. So hang around a while, because neither of you are eliminated tonight.
 
Well i would like to welcome Gizmo and paddington bear along to the forum. Good luck and lets see more of ya on here whether you win or not. Its not a bad place and ch4 doing seagull cocktails in the arms.

Gassafe. You were first in. It would be ironic if you were also first out.

Wouldn't it?
