After some more reading I think I will stick with what I've got. No excess on anything.
Thanks for all the input.

£22 per month is £264 a year! I'm assuming that includes a service (They pay their subbies under £21 per service completed)
Unless you are having the PCB/ fan changed on a yearly basis then you must be a loon to even consider any insurance (£314 for the privilege if you did call them out every year)
Just get a brand new combi fitted, lets say for £1800, with that you will get a 7 year warranty. That works out £257 a year so less than you insurance cover. Add on 6 years of servicing for £50 a pop and its still only £300 a year to have it covered for 7 years, inc. all the servicing.
Remember British Gas are insurance based, so if you have a call out they now increase your premium, just like if you have a bump with car insurance.
Or you could just self insure, assume you put £200 per year away to cover breakdowns, lets say breakdown every 3 years at £300, your still £300 up every 3 years!

Another bitter BG basher. Every company will have the odd disgruntled customer.....people are quick to express their displeasure not so quick to shout from the rooftops when you go above and beyond. For every p*issed off customer, there's a hundred happy ones...
