Homecare insurance with British Gas

Hi there

Would anybody recommend a decent boilder insurance policy? I am currently with British Gas and pay circa. £20 a month for my boiler cover and a few other things. However, every time I have a problem, they are utterly useles, try and charge me and it's even a hassle booking my annual service with them. I would like to have some sort of insurance with somebody (esp. as I've just moved in to a new house) but the service is absolutely shocking with BG and I wish to take my custom elsewhere.

Thanks

    You could put your £20 a month in a jar on the mantelpiece and insure yourelf?

    Believe me,if you think you can get better than BG out there,i wish you luck. Its a cut throat business and there are plenty of sharp operators and poor /non existant service.
    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..

    I would guess that there is a pre-exsisting problem with your system or that it's very dirty, this will render a note to say that problems related to these exsisting faults are not covered and are chargeable. For full system cover bg are head and shoulders out in front for service, if what you are getting isn't good enough I would do as above. If you're genuinely think you are not getting a service you are entitled to complain to them.
