British Gas Boiler cover

[axil23]

Took out a British Gas homecare agreement a few months back and paid a £99 initial call out charge where they come out and inspect/fix your boiler and then you pay £22 a month for a minimum of 12 months.

 

 

If they don't want to take on a boiler they reserve the right to not take on the agreement after the initial inspection.

 

They took on my boiler and 4 months down the boiler has broken down again.

The engineer came out today and advised that the boiler is not worth throwing more money at and cancelled my agreement.

 

 

When I spoke with British Gas they said that the Ferroli no longer supply the parts

but I just got off the phone with them and they have plenty in stock.

I think its due to the fact that its gonna cost them £400 for the part. (combustion box)

 

Can they do that mid way through a policy as it doesn't suit them?

Thread moved to a more appropriate forum axil...you will get a better response.

 

Check the small print of the T&Cs of the agreement...i'm sure they will have a wriggle out condition.

 

I wish people would steer clear of these agreements..£99 and then £22 per month

To be honest it works out quite well sometimes. The parts were £300 and if I went through BG it would be £360 odd for the year. So £60 extra for a years Insurance.

Its not worked out too well for you in this instance.
