Will British gas replace a rusty radiator

DilbertJones

Or do i have to break it? if so how?

I assume you mean will they replace under a service contract thingy? Probably only if it is rusting so bad that it is leaking

BobProperty

Doubt if it's even covered. (Pre-existing condition?) What policy is it? Why not phone BG, their call centres are open 24 hours?

If you have 3 star cover and its leaking they will replace it.

home care 200 which covers rads so i guess i should just make it leak then

I imagine they'' repair the leak as a first attempt. Not many rads will develop a leak on the main body of the rad, most will leak from a tap or a plug, and they can easily be replaced to fix the leak.

You are of course aware what you are trying to do is a criminal offence.....

I'm afraid not sunshine, it's called insurance fraud. If you think otherwise why not ask your insurers customer service and tell them you intend to create a leak in order to claim for new replacement rads. Ask them what's the best way to do it

British Gas will have no need to sue you, if they have evidence they'll just pass the information onto the police. Obviously evidence of this isn't easy to come by so you'll probably be safe, I just thought I'd let you know there are possible consequences.

Idiot.
No wonder insurance premiums are going through the roof for honest, decent people. With any luck any fraudulent claim you make will be unsuccessful.
