While they may give it to you for free, they collect the feed in tarrif, once the cost of the unit is covered, your generating pure profit for them!

There's nothing secret or hidden, in fact they say that once the installation cost is paid off you will benefit from the feed-in tariff too (though no numbers are given yet as to how its shared)
You could do it yourself; this is presumably aimed at those who haven't the time/energy/motivation/whatever.
We'll need a new boiler soon, might be worth investigating........

But the bottom line is Energetix are currently loosing cash at the rate of around £2m per year following a £12m startup in 2007(*), with a turnover of £154,000 in 2011
* more has been raised subsequently
Summary: Energetix are 'giving' a free boiler in exchange for tying 'subscribers' to a collectively purchasing agreement.
Conclusion: Once the boiler is installed, if 'they' fold you've lost nothing

Quote Spottiswoode – The United Kingdom is the largest boiler market in the world. There are around 1.5m gas boilers installed each year, with approximately 85% through a distressed purchase. That means on average over 4,000 boilers may be installed today, with these customers facing bills of between £2,500 and £3,500 for a replacement gas boiler. In today’s economic climate many will find it very difficult to pay this emergency bill. We want to help customers, at the same time we would like our Kingston boiler to be the de facto standard for replacement of these conventional systems. By taking up the offer of a free boiler the customer will save typically £1,500 on day one, only paying for the installation. The customer will need to commit to our long-term gas and electricity contract, which we intend to track to the cheapest standard tariff of the big 6 energy suppliers; so we should be very competitive.

They always do, sooner or later, usually sooner.
