Baxi Oldest Boiler Competition

Heating specialist Baxi are searching for the UK's oldest boilers, as part of a competition.

Baxi have asked people to reveal the age of their boilers, with the owner of the oldest receiving a high-efficiency Baxi Duo-tec Combi 28 HE boiler!

Lee Robinson, Baxi's customer service director, said "Older boilers may convert as little as 60 per cent of the gas they use into useful heat, meaning higher fuel bills and more greenhouse gases."

He also revealed that new condensing boilers are much more efficient and reduce a home's gas bills by almost 40 per cent (£150) a year for the average semi-detached house.

How old is your boiler?? Enter the competition now and win a new Baxi boiler!
