Airgon is a small machine the size of a tin of baked beans which removes air from the boiler and heating system to make sure it works as efficiently as possible.

Why are they Quoting a saving of £650 a year.
Why not quote a saving of £65000 a year.

Is the brass air vent on the top included. Or do you have to purchase that separately. ?

Jings, there’s some carp in that article

“A simple device promises to improve a boiler’s efficiency by up to 30 percent saving a household £650 a year on heating bills.”

“We have developed a device that works not only on older systems but on brand new boilers and air source heat pumps too, reducing energy consumption by around 20 percent - that could mean as much as £650 per year to some households.”

I’d be really worried if ‘Air’ was getting into my CH system

If one saves you 20%, what happens if you fit 5?

Ref “The device costs £249 and a household could recover these costs in less than a year in energy bills savings. “

I can give it a try. ?

If I send you my bank sort code and account number and you can send over 5 times the cost. £12450

I will give it a go.

I wont be able to take pictures of the bits installed to show you its not a Con. As I Doooont know how to take a picture.

“Up to” is their saving grace. People don’t understand that it means the savings will never be more than 20% but could be any value below 20%. Zero is below 20%?

Lower down it claims “as much as …. for some households

And so it goes on. Much later it says the £249 cost could be saved in less than a year.

I reckon a radiator bleed-key would cost a lot less - and a dose of inhibitor likewise.

Click-bait for non-thinkers, methinks. The saying “ a fool and his money are easily parted” seems fairly appropriate when you remember that 50% of the population are below average - so lots out there waiting…..

M'mm £249, this is the type I've fitted before:

An instant saving of £227.75 over the advertised device.

I used something like that (but a different pattern, a sort of squat cylinder on its side) when I did our GCH about 40 years ago... I think I paid a lot more for it too, even that long ago!

I'm not entirely convinced that Camelot members are taking this matter seriously.

It is very upsetting that papers are allowed to print / publish SCAMM information like this.
There must be people being mislead by this type of publication that are loosing money.

I agree, surely the advertising standards people should be stepping in on blatant tosh like this ? Even if the paper itself cannot self regulate.
