Do you partake in one. Which ones?

We've had one for ages with British Gas for our central heating, the "Gold Star" one I think it's called. We recently extended it to include our drains & plumbing.
Ok it's not cheap and like any insurance policy, if you don't need to use it, cost outweigh's the benefit.
What we do get is an annual service & inspection (peace of mind), priority call out in the event of a problem and no charge for parts or labour if we do need something sorting.
The boiler has been ok recently (touch wood), but has had a new extractor fan, a new pump, a new heat exchanger, a new timer and two new valves, over the course of the contract.
The drains & plumbing option has paid off too, as soon after taking it out we had our sewer overflow - we called in the morning & the contractor was there within 90 minutes, sorting it out, we also had a follow up visit during which they did a camera survey.
Overall we are glad we took out the contract.
