His son went made and contacted 20 central heating firms and got a prise, the average was £1,650, is it any wonder they made so much profit. Age Concern say that this is not an isolated case
If it's true, that is shocking. Maybe it is about time Ofgem got involved but where have they been over the past few years when they were making record profits then too. Then again I can't say much as I work for United Utilities
