Just got the renewal statement for our condescending gas boiler insurance from D and G.
It costs us around £32 a month, including the annual service.
I've no complaints about the chaps who come to fix things, as a rule. They seem friendly and efficent, but it seems expensive - way more than my car insurance.
Also, on the latest paperwork, they say that, in the event that they can't fix the boiler, they'll replace it up to the cost of £750. Not sure how much boiler £750 buys these days...
So does that sound expensive to you?
Any suggestions as to a cheaper alternative?
The boiler is a Potterton Gold Combi 28 HE, by the way, and the only thing that seems to go wrong(since I fitted a magnetic filter a few years back) is the diverter valve, which does seem to be a weak link.
