Christmas dinner is in the oven. The entire family is lurking round the Christmas tree slurping on eggnog. The extended family are being bussed in from all points compass and general goodwill is being spread ever further. Her Majesty is due on the box shortly when… Due to the excess loads made on the system by all the extra family and all the extra washing the boiler goes pop, bang and then too quiet.
Plumbers are known to be an expensive hobby, they charge a good deal for their specialised knowledge, even more for a call out fee, an astronomical sum for arriving on Christmas day and, even if the boiler is repairable you must then add the costs of parts and labour or a new boiler. And, when your Nan asks ‘Where’s the British Gas Boiler Cover then dear?’ The appropriate answer probably should be- ‘in the bureau Nan.’
British Gas Homecare is an insurance policy which can cover not only the boiler, but the whole central heating system, the drains, electrical wiring and associated fixtures. Of course the premiums vary depending on the desired level of cover, but by any means of reckoning, it would take several years of insurance premiums to match the cost of one boiler failure.
British Gas also of a ‘Flexi Option’ that equates to a thirty percent discount on the premium though you would be obliged to pay the first fifty pounds if you need to make the call- much like the policy excess now a key feature of many car insurance policies. There are of course many providers of home insurance and specialist cover and a quick comparison of the market should give you all the facts and figures necessary to make an informed decision and have real piece of mind over winter.
