British Gas boiler cover
Currently with British gas ans looking to get the insurance for the boiler and controls (maybe radiators and drains as well).
link -https://www.britishgas.biz/boiler_breakdown/homecareandflexilandingpage.aspx There are two options, Home care and Home care flexi. Basically the flexi is slightly cheaper but you pay a fixed fee of £50 per fault rather than nothing at all with the more expensive option. Firstly, if I take the cheaper option on the higher cover options like the 300. The cost saving of the cheaper one would add up to the £50 charge in a few months. Assuming there would be only one fault then this looks like the better option And secondly... If I had an emergency, needed to call out an engineer and was hit with a big repair bill - would this not be covered under my house insurance? Does anyone else take out this cover or am I being suckered in for extra cover for no reason? They have not approached me for this, its just peace of mind that I am looking for. Cheers, The Hoff :cool: |

Just renewed mine with them [minus the increase they wanted:norty:]. It covers the boiler only for about £14 a month.
Had 8 visits to cure a troublesome fault where they replaced tons of components and another more recently to replace the water flow meter [2yr old Worcester Bosch...:cuckoo:]. This would probably have bankrupted me via Yellowpages plumbers so I dont care if I never claim again and will keep paying the premiums. I also do a policy for the flat I let, this is £19 inc rads. Again I am not at the mercy of rogues who visit and go '$kerching$' at absent landlords with female tenants [they are there today actually]. Worth every penny I'd say. D |
The joys of Dad working for British Gas :D

Back when my parents were alive, I went round there one evening when British Gas had been to service their boiler. I thought I could smell gas, so took the front cover off the boiler casing, to find that the main gas inlet pipe to the gas valve was only hand tight:eek:
The Corgi registered nobber that did it, forgot to nip it up with his spanner when he'd put it back together. Alcazar |
