Calor gas - boiler insurance

Ctbsab

Hi. We have an ideal Mexico 2 boiler, run on calor gas. I'm looking for boiler insurance providers who insure non natural gas fuelled boilers. Any ideas? I'm also concerned that the boiler isn't going to be covered as I read elsewhere that ideal stopped making them in 1998. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

Another option is to find a local LPG-ticketed GasSafe engineer and get him/her to check your boiler, and repair as needed. Quite a lot of comment on MSE that this is more economical.

I guess your supply is from a bulk tank. If this is owned and filled by Calor there's no point asking for recommendations about engineers as they have their own (I believe). Some other LPG suppliers contract local engineers (the situation I have here) so the tanker driver/head office may be able to tell you the one they use locally (and so save you from the cowboys/cowgirls). Ideally you want a conservative engineer - who repairs/replaces just the faulty part. [BTW my boiler is a 23 year old Vaillant - there are quite a few older ones still giving good service, I'm told].
