Boiler HELP please

Hi Folks

The boiler has just broken down again. I simply cannot afford the one off expense of getting someone out to fix it, but am thinking :

Is it possible to get a monthly insurance boilier breakdown contract with say British Gas today, and then call them out tomorrow with NO hidden extras - so in short say pay £12 a month for 12 months instead of a one off fee all up front ?

Is there a minumum amount of time I must wait after setting up the contravt with them.

Thanks

That won't work. They send a engineer out to make sure the boiler is working before they cover you on the scheme .

we tried that but they conme out to check and service it first. We did sign up though and they charged us a one off fee of £150. They fixed the boiler, serviced it and made sure all the rads were working.

Very good since the part would have been at least £100, they also put some thermostats on some of the rads

I believe with BG you can spread the cost of the one off repair fee over the course of the homecare contract. Why not ring them and ask?
