helsbells2323

hi all i am new on here and have a few questions just wondered if anyone can help me?

i have a worcester oil combi boiler, it was fitted in april 2004,

i been looking on line for insurance for boilers (they all seem to be gas or electric) i also want a service as i havent had one done ever. last year the switch went it took ages for me to find someone who could fix it as nearly everyone in yellow pages were gas or electric and had no idea with oil.

i live in swansea south wales can anyone give me some advice please? i live on my own and only ever filled it up the once when we had it put in (at the time lived with bf)

thanks for looking ( first time to post anything on here not computer genius either )

Try here :

http://www.oftec.org/

On the right-hand side of the page there's a link to find a member in your area.

OFTEC is the governing body for oil installers - similar to Gas Safe ( CORGI, as was ), for gas.

Hope this helps.

There are few oil service contracts lke the British Gas one. I used to use Heat Complete when they first started 9 years ago. 1st 2 years they were great and fixed several breakdowns but after 2 years they became useless: poor response time, unreliable, and endless new clauses that meant they charged every time they came out.

I now rely on a good local guy for a once a year service, and pay as you go for breakdown. If you want insurance, put aside £10 per month in a savings account!

Use OFTEC to find local engineers.

Boiler insurance, waste of money. If you service it annually, you're unlikely to need insurance.
Why don't you try getting the original installers to service it, if they're still around?
