BG Homecare - There is a cheaper way!!!!

I've been with BG Homecare200 for a year now, because of how the financial future is looking (in this household, not in the country or the world as a whole ;)) I decided to cancel it... I was paying £16 a month in the first year and the renewal was £18.50 a month.
I called them and as soon as I said that I wanted to cancel they offered me the same cover at £10 a month and it still comes with a full boiler service, the catch is that if you make a callout for repairs the first £50 come out of your pocket.

I still consider it to be pretty good...:confused:

12 x 10 = £120 + £50 = £170

12 x 18.50 = £222!!!

I suppose if your boiler doesn't break down you are quids in! :D

  • Alternatively you could scrap BG altogether and opt to pay an additional premium for Home Emergency cover on your house/contents insurance which would be a one off payment for under £20. (Not all policies offer this but Budget does).

    Mine covers my boiler and various other home emergencies.

    The money I save paying BG I put aside for anything else unexpected that might not be covered.
