Boiler Finance: Understanding APR and Interest

Finance offers for boilers can look confusing — 0% APR, representative APR, fixed rate. Here's a plain English explanation.

Finance agreements use specific terminology that can be confusing. Here's what the key terms actually mean.

APR (Annual Percentage Rate)

APR is the annual cost of borrowing expressed as a percentage. It includes interest and any fees. A 0% APR means you pay exactly what the boiler costs — no interest, no extra charges.

Representative APR

Lenders are required to show the "representative APR" which is the rate offered to at least 51% of successful applicants. Some applicants may receive a different rate based on their credit profile.

Our 0% finance

We offer genuine 0% APR finance — not a promotional rate that reverts to a higher rate after an introductory period. You pay back exactly what the boiler costs, spread over your chosen term (12, 18, 24, or 36 months).

Example calculation

£1,299 boiler on 0% finance over 36 months = £36.08/month. Total repaid: £1,299.00. Interest paid: £0.00.

Credit check

Finance is subject to a credit check. Most applicants with steady income and reasonable credit history are accepted. The credit check has a small temporary impact on your credit score. If your application is declined, you can always pay by card or bank transfer instead.
