0% Finance on Flue Gas Analysers

[Anth]

Does anyone know where i could get a flue gas analyser on 0% finance?
Its a lot of money to fork out all at once. I'm a sole trader and consider it a major purchase. (its alright 4 you lads who get em bought 4 ya :smile: )

I only know of one site but the analyser is over a grand think they charge a small fee for paying it in instalments, better off getting a 0% credit card and paying it off that way, or hire one till you can afford one

You've got to be crazy to be committing almost £1500 for an analyser, you can't yet afford, just so you can pay it over a few months.

You can get a decent analyser for around £700.

If you want interest free credit, you can get a credit card as suggested above that gives you 0% on new purchases.

Tesco currently do one that gives you 15 months interest free.

So for £700, you'd pay £46.67 per month.

Obviously don't use the card for anything else and make sure you set up a direct debit, so all payments are made.

Make the right decision, don't regret it.

think im going to get a credit card to buy it, its too much money to fork out all at once, i need some holiday money for the festive period lol

sift through all the junk mail you get and use an % free credit card, and buy what you "need" not what you "want", eg do you "need" a printer for your contracts ie MUST you give them a print off? if it isnt mandatory there is no need to have a printer, some people say it proves you did this or that, but ultimately my signature on a bit of paper saying the readings are fine is all the proof anyone needs, we have had contracts where the client has demanded a print off so the guys on that contract got a printer, but itsd just something else to buy, break, lose, same with all the probes you can buy, only buy what you NEED, if you are strict and only beed a basic analyser to check boilers you cvan get a basic 455 for £399 plus VAT, and TBH i think they might be doing a discount on that price at the mo, shop around

Would agree. No real reason to get one with printer

In the old days when used to use the analyser mainly for oil ,we did not have printers, we used labelled pads when needed and just filled readings in by hand, that would woek just as well today
These days you could even take a picture of readings on your phone and send details of readings if someone insisted on having a direct record

When first got my printer. Used tp print everything off but realised very few people actually want a copy anyway


imho

And if you want to see your customers' eyes glaze over you just need to explain what the print out means. They're more interested in having a good service for a reasonable price.

Not many look over their MoT emissions rates, let alone understand the figures - much more interested to receive a green form to keep their vehicle going for another year. Ditto boiler customers. More interested in having the boiler serviced so it's less likely to break down over the next 12 months or so.

That analyser's the mutt's nuts, but I'm telling you, unless you are doing some heavy duty testing it is overkill. Additionally, in I think year 6 it's due its cell replacement and that's extremely expensive, £500+ IIRC.
