Boiler Deals & Offers

Current issue?

Worst company I have ever dealt with. Ever!!!

Reading the reviews on TrustScore it looks like people have had a lot of issues when it comes to claiming, even for minor repairs

That one does not include central heating (such as pumps, valves) on pipework These are the parts that commonly go wrong

That doesn't appear to include central heating whilst this one does (y)

£2400 was with hive and system filter she also gets 5yr warranty part and labour no call out charge

British Gas === Rip off. Guide price for top range boiler installation around £2000 all inclusive, may be less in the North.

New boiler £1000 to buy yourself. Good local plumber, £500 to fit, not bad shift if it's a like for like boiler.

My mum and dad go quoted £8000 off British Gas for a while new system. Got it done for £3000 in the end by a local company

Should be £1600 Ish

Every third Thursday of the month

People who live in houses without a cooker? They do exist. Usually houses in multiple occupation

You use an ice cream maker as much as that?!

Ha ha ha. Yet again I have to say that I love this site. Yes, I buy things that I don't need because of it. But its worth it for the laugh I get from comments like these. The pure anger coming from some of you over an egg boiler (lol) If it annoys you that much, don't buy it!

You could buy 2 of those from yesterday at £6 each, make 8 eggs at a time and save 79p? But at the end of the day, I think we all just want to throw off the yoke of boiling eggs in a pot (y)

My point was that it isn't really free though. Yes, if the cashback is paid in 6 months then you can cancel and you make a £2 profit (if everything pays out). ...BUT if you take up the offer of the the annual service or make any call outs and then leave before the 12 month minimum term, you are charged full price for anything you've had (according to the terms and conditions) If you didn't get charged then this would be a smashing find and I'd have snapped it up.

Similar story to everyone else find a local plumber you can trust. I had the good old service when I was with them before then I used someone else who took a good hour to actually service it and even showed me everything British gas had missed was a real eye opener. I wouldn't let them near my boiler if it was free. Just con men up selling stuff.

Sounded fantastic until I read through the comments

Had home care cover for years now and really got my money back several times over. Always have to negotiate prices every year but then again I have to do that with all insurance and phones and internet etc. Would always highly recommend this cover.

Be aware of the old boilers T & C! Good thing I became my own engineer! Circuit board changed- Check Pressure sensor changed -Check Diverter valve changed- Check Paying over the top for simple jobs - FAIL!

Complete nonsense. https://www.tea.co.uk/make-a-perfect-brew

Only T bags should have 100 degrees, leaf tea should be approx 85. So OK for proper tea.

Winix WCD 5D, bought it from Cater-Kwik. They delivered it to a local business down the road as they don’t deliver to residential addresses. Wasn’t a problem for us as they let us know.

What unit did you get.?

Don't even know what is that... I will vote hot!

expired. was about to buy as well and they've put it up to over a grand. what a joke.

I might be looking at this wrongly or missing something but don't you use energy to keep the water at boiling temp all the time?

I think so yes, Most likely power near as dishwasher in etc We have these at work, to be honest its nothing special...

Not everyone does, I agree, but a very high or very low temperature is usually a good indication. I'm talking about people complaining anyway, not the post temp

I usually buy 240 kettles

Everyone who works for a living provides a service to somebody. Landlords are no different. And when all's said and done, we all go to work to earn money. Landlords are no different in this respect either.

Do you have sources for your stats? If I said 99% of landlords are honest people who do any necessary repairs to properties on time and are fair with their tenants, and what you see on watchdog is the scumbag 1%, you'd scoff. Having worked quite a lot in privately rented properties, I've seen both sides. There are scumbag landlords who will spend nothing on their properties, regardless of tenant welfare. But I'm in properties more often than not to carry out repairs because of scum tenants who respect nothing and leave previously reasonable properties in a terrible state. My point is that there are a lot of decent landlords getting tarred in exactly the same way as benefit claimants.

In your imagination they are perks, for 99% of people on benefits those "perks" are just enough for people to survive. Unfortunately people see the other 1% on Channel 5 and tar everyone on benefits the same.

Not at all but I am chose whom I rent to. And I don't provide a service I provide an income for myself the same as you go to work to provide your salary.

You'll be telling us all you provide a service next. (angel)

Is got one

Yep got one! Thanks OP

Did anyone manage to purchase this before it went out of stock? This is a brilliant price for this!

Missed it!!!!

OOS

Excellent thanks

Showers are not included. I'd recommend reading the terms, all details are in there.

I hate that when that happens (lol) (lol)

Sorry, replied , but didn't click quote, check the thread (fierce)

I don't seem to end up renewing every year as to be honest quite often I forget , however we have had it for quite a few years with gaps in between . I think last time I left it three months between returning as a new customer , did it by phone and he was quite happy with that , but he did say some people try and cancel and return the next month which they won't do .

You demonstrate unparalleled symptoms of someone in complete denial. Bottom line is, I am right and you got firmly put in your place, just deal with it. (highfive)

You demonstrate appeal to popularity and wishful thinking . Followers are not proof a successful argument . Who is the greatest fool? He who follows or he who leads ?

I can see where the daily mail gets it's readers some upset on here they can't have a freebie mmmmmm must be taxing

Hmmm. Doesn't sound right. I know one tenant got a free boiler from a company that didn't even supply their gas. Boiler was ancient and apparently the energy company could use the carbon saving from replacing the boiler to reduce their carbon footprint overall. The older folks in our area were all offered this a while back. Not sure it's this scheme mind.

You've got three boilers. The tenants will have been persuaded to part with money under the premise of hugely reduced heating bills. Elderly private tenants are actually targeted for this reason

Seen this deal back in december with £75 quidco and £100 MasterCard. Got to wait 90 days before aiming MasterCard and had to.log a claim with quidco. Still "claim processing" since beginning of Jan. Anyone in the same boat with the cash back?

No They don't.. I believe the first thing they do is the free Annual service...

If the boiler has stopped working and I take this policy out, Will they then fix the boiler? Thanks in advance for answers

Misleading update (highfive)

Why cold? Probably because British Gas have such an appalling reputation for looking at your boiler, sticking a condemned notice on it to stop you using it, and then trying to flog you another one for about twice what you'd pay elsewhere! Really - you do not want these engineer/salesmen anywhere near your boiler! (horror)

Good deal if you want the homecare, otherwise if you can wait the hive heating kit often goes on sale for a cheap price

Had my card but anyone had the quidco cashback yet? Logged a claim and it's been sent to retailer. Been like it for weeks

I have nothing but love for bg they have been professional every time I have had my money’s worth many times over, Saturday just gone f62 error engineer came Sunday replaced PCB same day and serviced the boiler third time over the years pCB has gone on a 9 year old valiant ecotec boiler ,and various other parts replaced over the years its worth its weight in gold I pay around £34 a month which also covers all my electrics and plumbing and appliances no call out charges, also had a new washer and dryer and loads of other stuff all hassle free I tryed corgi for a while never again you get what you pay for imo

Has anyone got their £100 prepaid cards yet?

Nope, normal detached house. Unfortunately it seems that it's all fine and their course of action is all above board - https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/help-and-advice/gas-safety-in-the-home/get-your-appliances-checked/flues-in-voids/flues-in-voids-faqs/

Do you have a commercial property

anoyone had a free service ?

Stuff the service, if its broke pay job done.

Sounds like a good result!

Update from me. Signed up on the 31st Dec. Received a welcome email on the 15th Jan, and no mention of needing to be ore-assessed before they will cover you. Nothing else received. Boiler was not working this morning showing likely PCB error. Booked a BG engineer Engineer came at lunchtime. Thought I needed to be assessed but said he would see what he could do. He found out I actually did not need to be pre-assessed on this product. I had my PCB replaced, it's 8 years old, and some work on my flue, a bracket was addeded as it needed one due to its length, as they have to give your boiler a once over. All in all a good experience. I may not have needed the PCB but it was fixed efficiently and new PCB so can't be too bad for £99. Will certainly give the boiler extra life. PCB would have been £125-£225 and bracket £15

Just read the above. I was not aware of the the 42 day Chech needed first. So that buggers me. Even though bg have supplied me energy? Non mention of it in their welcome email??

£35 quidco 😊

Decent local company and keep your fingers crossed? Seriously, these policies are like extended warranties at Curry's, etc. - the insurance company has to make a profit so, over time, you're far better off funding repairs yourself and saving their profit. Yes, you could get a big bill (though think what's the worst it could be) but unless you're VERY unlikely you'll be quids in on average.

Have been using homeserve for 4 years now. Never had a problem always came out next day fixed the issue even tho they were only minor fixes. No excess tho on the £1 pm deal. Only plumbing covered on mine

What's the alternative? Or are some people just having a billy downer in general?

Good offer as usual for 1st year. Best option is to switch between Homeserve and BG from year to year. That way you bag the introductory discounts as a new customer and grab additional cash back from tcb or Quidco. Been doing this for a while and rarely pay much more than £100 for a full years cover including boiler,central heating,plumbing and electrics. I find the quality of service.similar for both and,on the whole, pretty good.
