| This boiler care is fantastic, I have had to call out an engineer twice in the past six months. first time my appointment was arranged same day, fault diagnosed, part ordered and repaired the next day. second time next day appointment and fault diagnosed and fixed same day. I would recommend homecare to everyone. I would like to add that all the people I have dealt with from the person on the phone to the engineers were all pleasant, professional and couldn't do enough to help. |

British Gas Electrical Care is available to anyone, not just British Gas Customers
British Gas Electrical Care provides you with security & comfort that should anything happen to your electrics that a fully qualified engineer is on hand 365 days a year to fix the problem. There are no hidden charges, you pay a flat monthly rate which includes, call out, labour & parts, and they'll be on hand when you need it most.
This is an ideal time to take out Home Electrical Care due to the more stringent regulations or 'Part P', For example you can replace a fuse, plug, light bulb, socket-outlet or a light switch on an existing circuit and you will not need to notify this to a building control body (although there are some exceptions for high risk areas such as kitchens and bathrooms).
However, all other electrical work must be notified to the local authority building control department.
Alternatively you may be interested in British Gas HomeCare plans which offer all the benefits of the Electrical Care but also covers Heating, Plumbing, Drains & Electrical Care.

- Remember, home electrical care only covers just that, if you need more comprehensive cover then the HomeCare or HomeCare Flexi plans may be more suitable
- Remember, you get an electrical check-up every 2 years, make a note in your diary when it's due and ensure the engineer is booked.
What Do You Get?
- Repair & maintence of the electrical fixed wiring system (inside your house and inside outside buildings provided it's been installed correctly).
- Repair & maintence of fuse boxes, light switches, wall sockets, light fittings, circuit breakers and transformers.
- Unlimited parts & labour for above.
- Fitting standard replacement parts, for example, they will replace a brass light switch with a standard equivalent such as a white plastic switch.
- One Safety and Maintenance Inspection once in every continuous two-year period in which you hold the agreement.
- 24 Hour 365 Day priority helpline
- No limit to the number of call-outs to carry out work included in your agreement.
