From the 1st October 2010 changes to Part L of the Building Regulations take place effectively outlawing SEDBUK Band B GAS Boilers.

As a concession any Band B boilers that have been quoted, ordered and paid for may be fitted in homes up to the beginning of April 2011.

Hometech have been recommending Band A boilers such as the Worcester Greenstar, Vaillant EcoTec and Viessmann Vitodens as they can save significant amounts of money on your GAS bills each winter.

Anybody wishing to find out more should contact us on 01423 546 641, or you can email from our contacts page

With many new students (perhaps your Sons or Daughters) taking up places at college and university this autumn, dont forget to ensure they are gas safe as well as academically prepared!

You never expect a boiler breakdown and you probably dont plan for it financially, so to help Hometech are offering the facility to pay by credit and debit cards.

Hometech of Harrogate now accept Maestro, Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Mastercard & Solo.

Surcharges may apply, please ask for details.

If you have a nagging doubt as to whether your boiler will last the winter without a breakdown, or you just like that feeling of peace of mind, then why not consider taking out boiler insurance cover. Priced from about 2 5p per day you could have just one less thing to worry about. There are terms and conditions, like your boiler being less than 15 years old (and if it isnt – perhaps you should consider replacing it!) and that you make arrangements to have it annually serviced, and of course there is a small excess if you do make a claim.

To find out more, contact our office on 01423 546 641 and we will send you out full written details.

Sorry to depress you all, but the good weather will not continue for ever.
