ads full of repair plans

I have just sat down in front of Tv to N power offering £** a month cover and half back if you do not claim,then up pops AA plying their stuff as regards boiler break down cover,then every second add BG van flying around ,then Barclays pushing its boiler cover through mail shots

Millions must be being spent here on advertising boiler cover,so must be millions of profit available,maybe time for small firm schemes to come about,are boilers becoming more reliable,are these big boys getting parts at really special rates,the parts come in special packaging or is there just a market share war going on

I must admit,I have thought about getting a lot closer to the manufacturer of the boiler I use to offer better packages,as they do in Europe

We will see but industry is changing in seems and at the moment it seems very fashionable to push boiler cover through what ever product you are selling


imho

so if bg is happy to start boiler swaps at £1900 for that price, Ill start for a bit less and still be smiling.

There is no denying that the amount of boiler repairs I do have dropped,due to cover plans,luckily that has been replaced by gas safety inspections
When the boiler change does come,as said we can easily under cut the big boys and they have done all the selling the idea to the customer
They do get away with murder as well,have heard and been to a lot of cases were boiler not worked correctly for months,they just keep sending a body round every 3 or 4 weeks to try to keep customer happy

£13 a month for parts and labour - I hope they lose lots of money and stop, cause if they continue its gonna kill the plumbing trade (which is hard enough as it is at the mo!)
