British Gas Homecare Offers A Flexible Definition Of An Emergency

March 22nd, 2009 by writer | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

Apparently semantics are drifting into the realm of home service contracts. Home service companies such as British Gas and HomeCall are fiercely competitive with one another. So much so that they constantly change there prices and terms of service to attempt to offer their customers a little more than each other and their lesser competitors. While BG and Home call are long established repair firms, many newer companies are attempting to lure away their customers with clever wording. As reported in Energy Choices, the United Kingdom’s leading information resource on methods to lower your energy bill, these lower standards of quality companies lure customers in with exceedingly low rates only to have the people discover that their definition of that which qualifies for fast service is somewhat skewed. British Gas boiler cover includes unlimited call outs that are not based on the degree of your emergency. If you are a customer signed up for British Gas Homecare and you want a service call, you receive one promptly with no questions asked.

The lower quality contractors do not offer a 24-hour contact line and when you do reach them they query you as to what constitutes an emergency. For many of these repair providers a loss of hot water is not a valid concern. Energy Choices also reports that most of these low price repair alternatives insist on long-term contracts. So that when you discover that their service is less than you had hoped for you are locked in for at least one year.

British Gas Boiler Cover Customers Trade Up To British Gas Homecare

March 21st, 2009 by writer | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

British Gas has recently issued statistics showing that fully 60% of their customers previously enlisted for boiler cover have upgraded their coverage by contracting for British Gas Homecare. This unique home systems protection plan expands the insurance offered as British Gas Boiler Cover to include protection for mechanical failure for all of your home’s systems.

With the average call out from an engineer in the United Kingdom costing upwards of £50.00 it is not surprising that so many customers already pleased with the quality of service British Gas offers have opted to rely on BG for total home protection. British Gas Homecare allows one to cover all electrical, heating and air-conditioning and plumbing systems in their home. Cover for major appliances can also be included. With a fast response time due to the 14 hour help line most customers find that they can expect a visit from one of the over 5000 British Gas engineers in far less time than that from a private contractor.

Of course BG engineers are certified professionals so there is never a concern over qualifications or experience. British Gas Homecare does not require that one sign up for a long-term contract. This allows you the ability to adjust your terms of service at any time. For example, there is no need to pay for boiler cover should you switch to a new heating and air-conditioning system that does not use a boiler. And if you upgrade your kitchen with new appliances that are under warranty that cover can be excluded as well. Another major factor that customers say led them to choose British Gas Homecare was the free annual boiler inspection. This normally cost £50 to £100 and is a safety requirement. These are a few of the reasons that customers are intensely loyal to British Gas.
