    Gas supply pipe to boiler

    Hi all - is the gas supply pipe between the gas meter and boiler covered by British Gas Homecare 2 ? I am sure I saw a useful diagram at one time that showed what pipe work was covered as part of HC cover levels ( and confirmed feed from meter to boiler was covered in HC 2) but can’t find it now

This didn't strike me as standard practice not to mention the severe kink in the hose. However I think the small slow leak has...

    We have a gas combi boiler for water and heating and are also on a water meter. To get hot water for washing up in the kitchen means running the tap for a minute or so, wasting lots of water each time. I am thinking about an electric water heater under the sink, such as the Ariston 2kW 10l...
