Boiler Insurance?

[stevec46]

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, did try a search but couldn't find anything, so here goes..

I have a Vaillant Turbomax Pro 28e (installed Jan 2002, so 6 years old),
I have always had cover with Domestic & General and we pay extra to Have a Vaillant engineer, I have just received my renewal notice, next year they want �197.88, we could down grade to not haveing a Vaillant engineer, that would take it down to @ �168, Thing is D&G no longer will cover my boiler for Scale Damage, when I had my Boiler filled, the guy did put in one of those in line water scaler things..
Since having the boiler we have had quite a bit done:-

The 'Plate'(I think the hot water wasn't getting that hot), apparently this is quite common
Gas Solenoid (when this went it also took out the Circuit board)
Air Release Valve, apparently this is quite common
Diverter Valve (switches from heating to hot water)

So, it has been worth having and I think I should continue, thing is �197 is a lot of money, any alternatives?

British Gas Level 100 �108 + �50 for repair OR �144 and no access.

I have been to uswitch and there is a company 'Smart and Cook' , never heard of them, �100 doesn't include Annual service (the ones above do), I guess an annual service would be @ �40?, So I guess British Gas..

Any thoughts


Thanks..
