Boiler Cover Guide: Compare Types, Costs, and Top Providers for Affordable Protection

Boiler cover from Sensible Heating Solutions includes an annual boiler service to ensure your system runs safely and efficiently. It provides emergency callouts for breakdowns, covering parts and labour costs for essential repairs. Depending on your package, boiler cover may also include protection for your central heating system and related components. You can rely on trained engineers to handle repairs promptly, keeping your home warm and comfortable.

Does Boiler Cover Include Boiler Replacement?

Boiler cover generally does not include full boiler replacement. However, some plans may offer partial coverage or discounts towards a new boiler if repairs are not possible. In cases where a boiler cannot be repaired, you may have access to preferential rates for a replacement. Boiler replacement terms vary by plan, so check your package details for specific information.

Does Boiler Cover Include Servicing?

Yes, Sensible Heating Solutions boiler cover includes an annual service, essential for safe and efficient boiler operation. During this service, our Corgi-registered engineer inspects, cleans, and tests your boiler’s components. This service helps prevent future breakdowns and ensures compliance with safety standards. An annual service also keeps your boiler running at peak efficiency, which can help lower your energy bills.

Does Boiler Cover Include Old Boilers?

Yes, Sensible Heating Solutions offers boiler cover without an age limit on the boilers we protect. However, we do not cover boilers that are beyond economical repair or have obsolete parts, which is obviously more common in very old boilers. You can check your boiler’s eligibility by asking a question using the little chat box at the bottom right of the page.

Does Boiler Cover Include Central Heating?

Sensible Heating Solutions Gold and Platinum packages both provide central heating cover. This extended cover protects components including radiators, cylinders, and pipes within your central heating system. Including central heating in your boiler cover ensures that your entire heating system functions effectively and efficiently.

Does Boiler Cover Include Plumbing, Drainage, and Electrical Work?

With Sensible Heating Solutions’ Platinum package, boiler cover includes plumbing, drainage, and some electrical work. This extended cover provides protection for issues such as burst pipes, blocked drains, and minor electrical faults that impact your heating system. Plumbing cover can address problems like leaking taps, while drainage cover includes unblocking sinks and toilets. This extra level of cover helps ensure that your home systems stay functional and worry-free.

What Is Excluded from Boiler Cover?

While Sensible Heating Solutions provides comprehensive boiler cover, certain exclusions apply. Here’s what is not covered under our plans:

• Non-Gas Boilers and Other Heaters: Our boiler cover is not for warm air units, electric boilers, LPG boilers, or kick-space heaters.
• Pre-existing Conditions: We don’t cover long-term issues arising from poor previous maintenance, debris in the system, limescale and rust. Our engineers will diagnose the problem and provide options to help you to quickly and affordably resolve them.
• Special Installations: Our cover is for gas-fired home central heating, not systems that supply swimming pools, heat pumps, underfloor heating, or outdoor heating fall outside the scope of the cover.
• Obsolete or Economically Unviable Boilers: We can’t maintain boilers beyond their reasonable lifetime, or which fail catastrophically.
• Upgrades and Enhancements: The cover does not include making improvements to your heating, such as installing additional radiators.
• Advanced Control Systems: Smart home heating controls like Nest or Hive systems are not included in the coverage. We can maintain the system, but replacement of these control systems is not included within this cover.
