[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 73378, member: 250"] Hmm! that sounds about par for the course or most of these "warranty" "home cover" type schemes... once you get down to the small print you find you are covered for next to nothing and/or you then have to pay a massive excess costs for certain materials that are NOT covered!!!! personally I think you are better putting your fees for this sort of cover into a separate bank/building society account and build up your own back-up fund.. that you can also get some interest on.. and probably 70% or 80% of real urgent call outs could be covered by what you have saved up yourself. ONCE A YEAR? that also sounds more like a basic Visual only inspection... Not full testing of the circuits, If they did do a full 'PIR' as detailed in the guidance in the wiring regs you would of had a report with typically 4x A4 pages, one page - would be a full list of test readings for all of the individual circuits one page - would have a list of any observations they have found and recommended action. one page - would be general details about your address and type of supply coming into the property. one page - with a list of areas they have inspected & tested. there could be additional pages if appropriate! :| [/QUOTE]
