Central Heating Cover

[Troll]

Didn't British Gas do a one off fix your boiler for circa £150?

Other than that, if something goes wrong it can only be the circuit board or the pump. Seems very expensive to pay £300 pa when a new boiler isn't much more than that

The last thing to go on my boiler was the heat exchanger - water leaking everywhere but quite easy to replace - if i remember correctly it cost £200 for the part and about an hour to fit.
Pumps are £50ish and even easier to fit
Thermocouples are a doodle and should be held as an on-site spare
Both do not involve disturbing the gas supply and are easily within the capabilities of anyone who can use a screwdriver/wrench

Oh! insurance cover! I was just about to suggest an aluminium tray from a Tesco instant lasagne.

Bleeding ell, anyone who can't fix central heating themselves has a screw loose. We have oil fired hot air heating and you have to stick your hand into this little hole and feel about to clean it. Like being a vet and sticking your hand in a cow's arse but with sharper edges and sootier. Not nearly so much fun either. I'd like to have been a vet.

My mate used to fix his gas bills; he reversed the meter every now & again...

He wasn't corgie registered either.

A Top Tip from Viz was to sit on your gas cooker and fart down one of the burners. It makes the gas meter rewind, appararently, and saves a fortune.

Not sure about sticking my hand up corgis, bit tight. Anyway, it's probably a royal prerogative.
