I think we should remove tax credits, we would certainly see a dramatic drop in prices or they would not sell anything. There is abuse should not laugh. And when we see the number of companies that are created without knowing anything about it or so little I suspect that it is not by pure ecological will, but rather thanks to the margins that result!
I think it's a bit exaggerated, or expeditious!
It depends !!!
For example, when I bought my Okofen PESK 15, I realized that there was, for this brand in any case, a national price. The heating engineer with whom I dealt was crystal clear: he took out the catalog from Okofen France and we compared the options. In 2005, the Okofen tariff was on the Internet, I downloaded it.
Of course, these prices include margins. They also include after-sales service, in the sense that the local representative maintains a large stock of parts to be able to repair in less than 24 hours. It has its cost. I saw the stock with my eyes. They are commercial companies. They are not NGOs. They do not live on contributions.
I thought for a moment to buy my boiler in Germany, where the tax credit is low (€ 2). I realized that the price difference was small.
So I don't feel like I've been scammed at all. In roof case no more than by buying a car in France which is sold 20% cheaper in Denmark, because of the market situation, competition, VAT rate, etc ...
And I look forward to my tax credit of around € 7 ...
I think it is wrong to generalize. As some had done by claiming, in another discussion, that the pellet suppliers "suck" by matching the price of oil. What is archi wrong: go see what is happening on the following site:

The fuel is rising and the pellets are falling!
We would so much like our world to be Manichaean: the big bad lobbies eager for profits against the nice activists ... Sorry, this is not the reality. But hey, I'm going to get yelled at again !!!
PS: There is real abuse in PAC telemarketing. There, yes, it is necessary to warn people because there are some who are made "tube" like that !!!
