If you realise that they send the techs to your house to dust off the boiler and polish the case so that they can tick the 'boiler serviced' box with the intention of selling you a new, latest 'fad' boiler. And BG are eye wateringly expensive when they install the new boiler that you didn't need anyway, it takes a long time to pay for decrease in fuel use you may or may not get when you have just paid >£2,500 for a new extremely complicated boiler, and if you decide to get Alexa or Hive controls at the same time you can double that cost.
