If you only do four things

  1. Separate the kit price, the grant, any loan and the claimed annual saving. They are not the same thing.
  2. Find the tariff and efficiency assumptions in writing (SPF/SCOP, flow temp, export rate, self-consumption).
  3. Ask what the comparison is: old boiler, new gas boiler, or “stay as you are”.
  4. Check what is not in the install price: radiators, cylinder, electrics, making good, redecoration.
