British Gas is offering a £30 discount for customers to have their boiler serviced from the end of June.

The full service is being offered for £49, reduced from the regular price of £79.

Services must be booked before August 15, 2008, to qualify for the discount, which is open to everyone. You can call British Gas on 0845 600 1054.

The same idea goes for insulators – business is slower right now so get a couple of quotes and find out who can offer you the best deal.

Speak to your local council first and find out which companies are “approved suppliers”.
