Overview

What Is Boiler and Heating Cover?

It is included in our annual Gold and Platinum plans, protecting you when your boiler or heating fails. A Gas Safe registered engineer handles everything. Parts and labour are included.

It is not the same as home insurance. Home insurance covers fire, flood, and theft. It does not cover mechanical breakdown. Boiler cover fills that gap.

Not the same as home insurance — boiler cover protects against mechanical breakdown.

Landlords

Your legal obligations →

Landlords

Under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, you must keep boilers and heating systems working. A broken boiler in winter is a legal emergency. Tenants can report you to the council. They can also take you to court and claim compensation.

Homeowners

Why cover makes sense →

Homeowners

One call-out can cost more than a year of cover. If your boiler is over eight years old, breakdowns become more frequent and more expensive.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

All plans have a 14-day waiting period from the policy start date. Pre-existing faults are not covered. Get any known faults repaired before taking out a plan.

No. Home insurance does not cover boiler breakdown. You need a separate boiler cover plan.

We contribute towards a replacement. The amount depends on your plan level and boiler age.

New boilers come with a manufacturer warranty. But warranties have limits. They often exclude labour costs and central heating components. Cover fills those gaps.
