It's interest-free credit, so shouldn't be any more expensive.

I wasn't saying cheaper because of potential interest charges.

If you're buying something on credit, there is zero room for negotiation and you usually find the starting price is a little higher anyway.

Cash in hand (which you would effectively have via a credit card) gives you options of various companies and allows you to negotiate a better deal.

Plus you're not limited to companies that offer credit deals

PS...I assume you're looking at British Gas since they're currently offering two years interest free. They charge more than double smaller companies!!!

I heard that about British Gas. I've got another firm coming in to discuss that option. I might just bite the bullet and pay cash.

Upfront payment (in any method) will get you a much better deal.

British Gas wanted £4.5k just for a new boiler (straight swap at old house) on credit.

I got a better & bigger boiler plus ten radiators (all fitted) for £2.8k at this house, that included removal of a back boiler and fitting the new boiler elsewhere in the house so re-routing of pipes
