Worcester Bosch boiler - EA fault code

[davidandbella]

Hi

Our Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30 CDi system boiler is intermittently giving an EA fault code. The boiler is not under cover.

British Gas charges £99 + £22pm repair and cover, making a total of £363 to repair and cover the whole system for a year, including ser vice.

Is that a sensible outlay or should I try a local plumber to do the repair? As I don't know the reason for the fault, it could be simple or expensive to repair and I need a service anyway. So perhaps the British Gas offer is sensible?

Best regards

David

I would always go for the local man.

We had a fairly serious fault on our WB a couple of years ago. I think WB themselves they charged about £260 for a similar deal. And I'd rather deal with them than BG anyway.

IMHO, a BG offer is never sensible. It can always be beaten.

Another vote for not letting BG anywhere near your house!

+1. WB will usually have the part on the van, so it's just the one visit. BG have been known to bugger people about

In our case, it was a leaking seal and the gases had damaged a number of bits including the wiring harness. He had all the bits with him, and it took 3.5 hours.

Bit like you then. Never sensible and should always be beaten.
