im amazed at how many "experts" knock british gas quotes when they
havent seen the actual contents of the quote,
a few pointers.. direct labour can be specified by the customer... the
quote will include free home care... the 330 boiler has substantial
upgrades.. vat is included because british gas cant "do a discount for
cash" and then forget to declare the vat.the radiators have extended
warranty. the engineers wont **** in your water tanks (ever see
watchdog ?).. the boilers that are supplied have a parts availability
guarantee.. the engineers wont suddenly disappear half way through
the job or once they have your cash. ive seen british gas
jobs completed and ive seen independent jobs completed. enough said.

Is this the same british gas that installed a new gas meter in my mums house
a few years ago, resulting in the house filling with gas? - the nut's were
not even finger tight, how the house didn't end up several hundred feet away
i do not know, the transco chaps who came out at midnight said that the
connecting nuts were the wrong size, so instead of the BG bloke doing
something about it at the time (early morning), he just went home and left
it.

or is it the same british gas that charge £300 per year for ch cover
(included as you mention above, even though it's not specifically requested)
and then refuse to do any work on the system once it reaches a few years
old?
