Is this the right deal for me?

If you’re considering funding your boiler purchase with a British Gas Flexible Finance deal remember the interest on this type of finance is usually around 30% and you could get a much better rate on a loan from your bank.

If your existing boiler is more than 10 years old then it may be time to invest in a new one. ‘A’ rated boilers are more efficient and conserve more energy than typical ‘E’ rated boilers, a fixture in most households and produce 50% more heat. Greater efficiency will lead to lower bills. Find out more about energy efficiency.
