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.

I certainly wasnt expecting some tuppeny ha'penny merchant to string it out for blummin' ages!

What on earth would have led me to expect that?
 
So here's how it works.

CH4 is the chemical formula for Methane.

Methane is a flammable gas

Flammable gases can be used to burn things

Like toast

Therefore, CH4 = toast. QED*

Sorry CH4. You're toast.

Congrats Solutions. You are this weeks winner. Someone will be in touch in the next week or so.

Commiserations to the losers, but don't panic - another boiler will go on the block tomorrow night! Get in there...


* that's science, that is!
 
Thanks Ray for this opportunity and for an entertaining week on the forum.
I'd like to thank the generous people at intergas without whom none of this would have been possible. I want to say thank you to my wife and 2 beautiful children who have put up with me intermittantly posting on the forum during bed time stories. Thank you also to all my fellow forum members especially ch4 for being gracious till the end. Good look winning the next 3 to all who were not chosen this round.
Looking forward to an intergas training session.
