    What is a powerflush? I had BG out the other day (first time) they never mentioned it, just fixed the boiler (think a pump needed replacing) and I paid the £99. My boiler is old probably about 15 years plus!

    As old as that eh..mines 35 years old and still going strong and no maintenance contract in place or needed.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    14 days, this is an extract from page 5 of the link:

    8.2 Boiler and Controls Breakdown Cover™ and Central
    Heating Breakdown Cover™
    Boiler and Controls Breakdown Cover™ (and £50 and £99 Excess
    versions) and Central Heating Breakdown Cover™ (and £50 and
    £99 Excess versions) are products designed to meet the needs
    of householders who want protection in place if there are various
    problems with their boiler and controls and central heating on a
    repair-only basis.
    Note that for Boiler and Controls Breakdown Cover™ or Central
    Heating Breakdown Cover™, we will not cover breakdowns in the
    first 14 days of your first Period of Agreement.

    Thanks. Someone said that they have to come out and do a check on the boiler first before its covered. Is this right? I'm worried because of xmas it will take longer for them to do the check and in the mean time I won't be covered.

    They obviously won't take on a boiler/system with a pre-existing fault; so they normally inspect.


    They may start the agreement, subject to it passing an inspection a few days later.
