My mam had someone out at the house a week or so back trying to sell some upgrades on their gas system. From what I can make out, they really put on the hard sell - 'special discount valid for 5 days etc' - which immediately sets off alarm bells for me.
Anyway - the details of what they're providing is below. Would be curious to see if anyone knows what the going rate for the work should be.

Has he mentioned the SEAI grant of €700 for boiler and heating controls upgrade?
I have the name of a local gas installer and can get more recommendations for you in work on Tuesday.
Grant is down there alright - EUR610? Am not sure if my parents will be going ahead with any upgrades - so no need to check on my behalf Andy - just more curious as to whether or not they're just trying to rip them off because they're getting on a bit.Quote:

There are companies scrambling out there to get this type of work before others do.
This may be of interest to them. This is what my crowd are currently doing.

The climote is a great piece of kit. I got one free when I switched back to Airtricity.
