Who do you use for an annual gas boiler service and breakdown cover for the CH system? Any problems?
Is there a 24/7/365 call centre, or am I expecting too much?
I've been with BG for years, but their premiums keep rising
Thanks
Depends how much you think a breakdown might cost - didn't HomeChoice have some issues (or whatever the prime alternative was..?) There's always go local independent but one breakdown and you're knackered...
Just fix it yourself, I've done it for a couple of things that went wrong in our boiler. Lots of advice online and parts easy to get depending on boiler. I wouldn't touch the gas side of it but the rest is basic plumbing and electrics. Service it myself too, got the service manual with the boiler and just follow that, takes an hour tops.
I'll proabaly get loads of flak saying that, that I'm endangering the planet and not thinking of the kids etc.
Fitted a new expansion vessel at the weekend as ours had ruptured internally. Cost £50 to fix but £20 of that was buying a new 22mm pipe cutter. Plumbers charge would be £300+
EDIT there seems to be lots of complaints about these services that charge you monthly as they just bodge stuff or just fit parts willy nilly hoping it'll fix the issue and you have to keep calling them back. A couple of friends had these services and had nothing but hassle, was cheaper and less hassle in the end to just use a good local CH engineer.
