[QUOTE="RFCforme, post: 970082, member: 1754"] After one of my neighbours sent a very nice salesman up to visit me not mentioning he was on a £350 referral if I placed an order with the company, I thought I would listen to what he had to say as my oil boiler is needing renewed. Anyway the nice chap looked at my existing boiler (fitted in the workshop through the wall from the farmhouse) and after asking how many radiators were in the house recommended I install a klover 35kw wood pellet boiler. Doing a quick calculation he reckoned I would be entitled to £3800 RHI per year maybe more depending on how my home green survey came back and that he could supply and install said boiler for £17500 and if I used there finance company I would not pay a penny until three months after instalation when my first RHI payment was made. The figures he left me was that I would get £316 RHI per month and my monthly finance payments would be £293 per month over seven years with a monthly fuel saving of £80 Now at first glance this seems a no brainer a saving of eighty quid a month plus the twenty three quid left from the RHI thats a lot of beer tokens but when you look into it he is probably pricing kero at 55 pence and pellets at £250 pounds a tonne to get his fuel savings and there was no mention of the maintenence of the boiler or having to have it insured against frost damage etc The boiler he quoted can be bought online for £5000 and allowing a grand for a flue that leaves him with £11500 to install the boiler and fill in the paperwork not bad for a day or two to install the boiler . Anyway the question I would like to ask is am I being ripped off? there are a few renewable sales people on here who could maybe tell me if i am being paranoid and unfair and possibly missing something from my calculations [/QUOTE]
