no hot water and central heating

Could you please advise the best option

Hot water and central heating both are not working. Engineer visited and told me air pressure pump needs to be replaced and charged £40 and further 155 for supply and fit.

I think about to join with repiar and breakdown schemes

will it be worth to join British Gas or do i need to go with independent repair.

Impossible to say. Depends how much is going to break down in future.

With an independent you might get really good people at a really good price. But there is a risk you might get a cowboy.

in similar situation.


Thinking that British gas is a fixed cost, so no hidden surprise, but looking at independents may work a little cheaper.

I've had British Gas out twice, £69 (under half hour) & £179 (under 2 hours) inclusive of parts. They tried to get me to sign up for a contract but it's very expensive.

I was going to use an independent but I stumbled across one of their forums where it seemed to me a lot of them didn't have much idea.
