Homecare plan or alike

tony863

On my previous thread I explained that I had a boiler problem and that I was going to get a gas installer to have a look at it.

Anyway, went to work today and two people told me that they used BG Homecare and they both really rated it. One used it once and the other used it twice. Neither had anything bad to say and one of them told me that they never joined them till they had a problem.

That person said their boiler had something wrong with it. They joined Homecare and then waited 48hrs. Then rang and BG came to fix the problem!

Can this be true? Seems too good to be true!

Then they were the lucky ones - when I wanted to join they wanted me to have a power flush done first and only they could do it to the correct standards - the charge at that time was over £700 - they would not accept any other plumber doing one. So I could not get homecare cover. I have since done all repairs needed to my CH at my expense and it now works as it should and I have not wasted £250 per year paying for boiler cover.

It's not really in the spirit and there is a very good chance that the engineer may say that the fault is clearly pre-exsisting the contract. That said you wouldn't be the first to try it.
