Logically, this is the best time to have your equipment checked out and
renew any maintenance agreements i would have thought, but as usual the
public will only think about it when its far too late.

Best to fix it when it's broken, which in my case is zero times in 15 years. If I'd had one of those warranty things from them, I would have spent the equivalent of 3 replacement boilers by now.

Why? Things are often cheaper/on special offer at times of least demand.

Thought even your parrot would know that.

People are more likely to buy something when they need it. Virtually nobody plans ahead, or can afford to.

You'd wait until the house burned down before buying insurance?

Hardly the same thing is it? You need insurance BEFORE a fire. The boiler can be fixed when it breaks. Which mine hasn't done in 15 years, saving me thousands in insurance - enough for three new boilers in fact.
