How much does British Gas HomeCare cost?
British Gas HomeCare pricing can vary depending on the level of cover, your boiler details, and your renewal terms. A common frustration is that prices may rise at renewal, and it can feel difficult to predict what you’ll pay long term.
- Cover level: broader cover generally costs more.
- Renewal pricing: some customers see increases at renewal.
- Boiler details: age/type can impact eligibility and pricing.
While parts, labour and an annual service are commonly included, some households find the overall cost higher than a local engineer-led plan with clear, fixed pricing.
Can you cancel British Gas HomeCare?
Yes — you can cancel, but timing matters. HomeCare plans are typically annual contracts, and cancelling early may involve:
- Notice periods
- Early exit restrictions
- Potential cancellation charges
That’s why many homeowners plan their switch around renewal — so they can avoid unnecessary fees and change provider smoothly.
