HomeCare100

[BS1397]

We've got homecare200 and the renewal letter came last week. However the price has gone from £16 -> £24. I asked why the 50% increase and they muttered and mumbled and said we could have it for £19.75 so a mere 25% increase.
I looked around and eon offer a similar package for £16 / month.

Quite a jump compared to new subscribers prices. I think I will go for the 100 because all the rads and pipes are new and tested, and I have a couple of spare new still boxed rads in my shed as spares, so all that needs looking after is the Combi boiler. Or am I wrong and missing something?

Thank you all, I am going ahead with that as it is good common sense, but I was just a little apprehensive that BG might take advantage of the certification process and treat the inspection as a selling opportunity for either a new boiler or be over strict so they can charge extra to issue the certificate when other "Gas Safe" engineers might consider the system to be acceptable within the rules.
My boiler was installed and serviced by a CORGI though it is discontinued now.

I will phone them this afternoon. Cheers.

They probably will do that if there is anything that is not to current regs. However, you can then get your own engineer to put things right, and as far as gas is concerned you can never be too careful !
