Is British Gas Boiler Insurance a Luxury?
Moneys short throughout the UK and a few homeowners are starting to think British Gas boiler insurance is a luxury they can no longer afford. The majority of UK energy companies offer boiler insurance, either by itself or bundled with central heating insurance. For the average homeowner who is responsible for their own boiler maintenance ad repairs, the few pounds a month the insurance costs are a hardship.
Naturally, the cost of boiler repair insurance depends on the cover provided. Homeowners with older boilers, and no contingency fund to cover boiler repairs should something go wonky, really should have the insurance. Yes, cost is a hardship but choosing the lowest cost cover is an option. British Gas boiler insurance offers a low cost cover from £7 a month with a £50 excess per repair payable. This is for unlimited call-outs, something that ill become very important if the boiler breaks several times in one year. People who have brand new boilers are likely still covered by the guarantee which came with the new boiler.
While British Gas boiler insurance may be considered an unnecessary expense by some British homeowners, anyone that had their boiler break in the dead of winter and needed emergency repairs which would have cost at least several hundred pounds, will tell you that British Gas boiler insurance is a necessity, and well worth the cost.
