in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
Morning All,
I am looking for an annual boiler service for my boiler.  Any good recommendations?  My home insurance covers my boiler but I do need to get an annual boiler service in order to be covered by my insurance.
Thanks

    Even if your insurance covers repairs to the boiler there is always inconvenience and anyway it may depend on an annual service. Best to get a reliable local plumber to do it rather than British Gas or other national and typically expensive plan.

    Recommendations?  Buy a CO monitor/alarm instead and save the money spent on servicing and insurance so you'll be able to afford a repair if it breaks down.
    If the boiler is still under the manufacture warentee then it has to have an annual service, the op already has insurance with his home policy that requires an yearly service so they aren't paying extra 
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    Wow, buy a CO2 monitor instead of having a boiler service, great idea wish I'd thought of it.
