I'm currently paying £15 per month for gas boiler cover which I haven't used (thankfully) for 2 years. That £360 is cheaper than a new boiler but I thought I'd look around at what else is on offer as our boiler is only 7 years old and unlikely to need replacing for at least 5 years.
All the larger companies appear on page 1 of Google and even MoneySavingExpert doesn't dig very deeply but, with only a brief stab at research, I have discovered considerably cheaper cover from smaller companies, as follows: Swinton £6.60 per month, omni-assist £5.50 per month and gas-elec £5 per month (payable annually).
At renewal, in a couple of months time, I can save £300 a year by switching to the gas-elec heat-care plan! I suggest that other householders look into this too, as the cover seems to be the same.
