Cancelling British Gas Homecare and signing up in partners name

smulx

Hi

My Homecare is coming up for renewal soon and I expect them to bump the price up. I'm going to shop around for an alternative, but if British Gas turns out to be the best option for a new customer, I was wondering whether we might encounter any issues if we just cancel mine and sign up in my partners name? Never an issue doing this with things like broadband, but does anyone have any experience doing this to get a new customer offer with British Gas? Just wanted to check so I can try to avoid any complications. I'm aware that there will be a period in which we can't make a claim at the beginning.
Thanks.

BG homecare, why?

Just save the money you would have spent on them, it'll pay you in the long run plus you won't feel like your tied into BG inflated prices to fix the stuff homecare doesn't cover.

We have been with them for about 6 years. We have Boiler, electrics and plumbing cover. We started off at £30 a month and 6 years later has now changed. The reason being every year they try to increase the price and every year I phone them and negotiate with them and that is why the price has never changed. I suggest you do the same.
