I took out a service plan on my boiler and water heater from my gas company,
keyspan. Was this a smart thing to do? Is this the equivalent of having HD
install windows in your home?

It depends on how much you paid for this contract, and how well
the issuer honors the agreement.

If you paid tens of dollars, it might be a good deal. If you
paid thousands, you've been 'ad mate.

If you paid a couple of hundred, it probably wasn't a good
deal for you but I suppose it *might* pay off if the existing
equipment was poorly installed or basically NAFF.

I got it basically as an insurance plan. It cost a couple bills, but I
figure, if even a single thing goes wrong, the labor charge alone just to
diagnose the problem would cost that. My concern is with the quality. If
there was a problem, would I even *want* them to work on it?? Does keyspan
hire all the lowest bidder contractors, or can I trust their work?
