Hi I was looking into this and was wondering if anybody had a view on which was the better option - a maintenance deal or an insurance deal?

 I am guessing that there are various pros and cons to each type......

 

I use British Gas Home Care cover for Heating /Electrics/and Drains Tel 0845 7 365 100; I have alsways found them very good and the service they provide excellent; it certainly provides a lot of peace of mind; you can cjoose what level of cover you want; if you make an enquiry for cover with British Gas - and don't take it out straight away they seem to contact you again with a better deal a few days later - so if you aren't in too much hurry it is worth a try.

British gas now make you ring for your safety check or you don't get one, also, now that some non condensing boilers are not being produced, they will tell you that they are obsolete even though the parts will be available for years, and the engineers are paid commision to sell you a new boiler, check the terms and conditions against these.

in my experience bg turn up usually within 24hrs compared to some other companies who make u wait for days. , BG usually get parts next day if they dont carry them in the van, for my boiler vokera excell . Tell me what company doesnt try and sell u stuff anyway ,phone bt, sky they all do it now a'days. Bg engs dont sell boilers they have sales reps who come to the house. the eng phones the company and they phone back and arrrange appt with sales chap....
