Boiler/central heating care

Anyone have any recommendations over who to go to for this? My brother is a plumber and checked out our boiler as the hot water wasn't working. Its five years old but has only had one service and that was three years ago.

He reckons I need to get a monthly plan with someone to get Boiler and Central Heating call outs and an annual service.

Another monthly bill but one we need with a young baby. So if anyone can recommend one that would be great. We are with Npower for gas/elec in a flat if that helps

    i work for a company that does central heating cover, but im not going to plug them.
    What i will say is try to stick to companies that use their own engineers rather than companies that subcontract either all or the majority of work:

    Companies who have their own engineers and may use a small amount of subbies:

    British Gas
    Eon
    Southern Electric
    Scottish Hydro

    Companies who have some engineers but use mostly subbies:

    Npower
    Homeserve

    Companies who have no engineers and sub contract completely:

    The AA
    Scottish Power
    all home insurers, & Banks

    Im certain this list is correct.
    Other might want to add to this.
    Promo codes are never always cheaper..... isnt that right EuropCar?
