While it is SUMMER time and all the Gas Boilers are relaxing in the sun, its worth taking a moment to consider if they will start up again and be well behaved this winter.
Costing from just 25p per day, boiler breakdown insurance covers you for what you dread the most … the cost of heating breakdowns!
The policy, offered by Bluefin and underwritten by Aviva, is flexible and still allows you to choose to cover the boiler or the complete system including pipes, pumps and valves. Like all Insurance, terms and conditions do apply, the most important ones are: the boiler must be less than 15 years old and be annually serviced. We are offering a special price of £45 + VAT for boiler servicing for all Customers who take up the scheme this summer. (10mile radius of Harrogate only)
To find out more, contact our office and we will send you details of the scheme in the post.
Should you wish to take up this service, simply read through and complete the leaflet and post it, together with your premium to Bluefin. Please do let us know when you have done this, so that we can ensure that the boiler in your property receives the special price service..

Carbon Monoxide is an odourless, colourless poisonous gas that can be produced by poorly maintained gas appliances.
The Gas Safe Register recommends that you take a portable battery powered carbon monoxide detector with you to ensure that you are safe. These can be purchased for about £20-30 from most DIY stores.

Customers looking for boilers in Harrogate will be disappointed to find out that the governments boiler scrappage scheme has come to an end. Despite its success, the Chancellor failed to extend the boiler scrappage scheme at the recent budget. The number of vouchers allocated come close to the 125000 offered, but stopped way short of the what we feel was necessary to make a difference in the drive for energy efficiency.
Those looking for boiler replacements, in Harrogate will be pleased to hear that for this summer (2010) Hometech of Harrogate are offering a complementary powerflush with every boiler replacement booked. Contact us for further details.
In the light of the recent strike threat by British Gas’ Engineers its worth knowing that boiler-owners who would like to INSURE their boiler against the cost of breakdowns can do so from just £79 per year.
Breakdowns are managed by Hometech, the cost is insured through Aviva and its about £5 cheaper than any British Gas scheme I can find!
Terms and conditions apply and I have a leaflet to pass on. Please Contact us if you feel you would like further information.
The Health and Safety Executive has fined two Landlords and a Gas Engineer in Southhampton a total of £19000 for risking the lives of a Mother and her Daughter. The tenants who suffered serious symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, drifting in and out of conciousness with headaches and vomiting, were taken to hospital, barely concious. They had previously warned their landlord that the boiler needed servicing, an obligation that was ignored. The Gas Engineer involved, who had not found the appliance to be “AT RISK” during 3 annual inspections was found guilty of offences under the Gas Safety (Installation and use) Regulations 1998.
All Landlords are reminded of their obligations to have appliances checked anually by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer and to have them maintained.
It is now 1 year on since The Gas Safe Register took over responsibility for gas safety from the well known Corgi on behalf of the HSE.
Less well known is the fact that not all Gas Safe Registered plumbers are registered for all aspects of domestic gas, in particular things like LPG, or Calor GAS, this is a separate qualification for individual Engineers. Remember always ask to see the back their GAS Safe CARDS.
