Central Heating Cover

For around £500 you can buy a boiler that would service 20 radiators, that's hardly a bedsit is it?



Some of you guys must get royally ripped off

but you need someone to install it as well.

It's official. Baggy is a renter.

Yes of course, what I am saying is £300 a year to service something with a life of several years is expensive when compared to the cost of the system.

Surely it is better to get it serviced and just payout when something goes wrong using the fixed price BG service?

I'm with Npower (even though i'm supplied by them) and that's provided by some other big company; can't remember who.

It's only about a tenner a month and it was the only one I found that didn't require an inspection but there is a one month no-claim period. At the time I had an intermittent problem with the boiler so just had to wait a month before getting it fixed for nowt

I prefer to pay £30 pa extra with Cover Heat and get an annual inspection as well.

The £26 I pay covers Boiler, central heating, electricals and plumbing.
Given call out charges in London and the fact that I've moved to an old Victorian, I think it's good value.
It's the cost of an hour down the pub in the West End.

what a bunch of bar stewards. I've just put my postcode in there and they want £28 pm or £336 pa. My renewal letter has got £353. Although I did call them out to fix the timer. That could be why.

However, Cover heat charge £150 for boiler cover (incl. inspection), £45 for plumbing and drains and £35 for the electrics. Thats £230 p/a a saving of £125 pa.

A new boiler ain't £300 in London

Quite right. That last old boiler you had was £5 tops & bottoms. Bargain!
