5 reasons why a boiler cover package could be the best investment you’ll ever make

So, boiler cover plans; a necessary expense or a wise investment? Homeowners nationwide are grappling with the same question. Is it sensible to cover yourself for unexpected boiler breakdowns, or to risk it and face the possibility of a whacking big bill?

As with any big life decisions, it pays to do a bit of research first. At Sensible Heating Solutions, we like to think we’re a helpful lot, so we’ve done some of the legwork for you. Here are 5 considerations that could make boiler cover the best investment you’ll ever make.

1 Consider the age and condition of your boiler

It stands to reason that older boilers are generally more prone to breakdowns and can be expensive to repair. If your boiler is nearing the end of its lifespan or showing signs of wear and tear, having an adequate care plan in place becomes more critical. A newer, well-maintained boiler may have a lower risk of breakdowns, which could influence the necessity of getting covered; it all depends on your personal aversion to risk.

2 Can your wallet take a beating?

Boiler breakdowns are costly and even basic repairs can add-up. It’s worth assessing whether you’re able to cough-up the necessary sum, in the event of your boiler breaking down. If the cost of repairs or replacement would place a significant financial strain on your family, a boiler care package is a sensible investment. 

3 Peace of mind

There’s nothing like it. Knowing that you have appropriate cover in case of a boiler breakdown gives you total peace of mind; your home and family are safe and protected. And you can’t put a price on that, can you?

4 Costs vs potential savings

It is always a sensible move to get your boiler serviced annually. This is one of the best ways to ensure it continues to run safely and efficiently. An annual service is included with most boiler care packages but outside a plan, this could set you back anything from £150-£500, depending on the level of work needed. A basic care package with us is as little as £7.97/month, so less than the price of one annual service. You don’t need a maths degree to know that’s a good deal.

5 Additional coverage and services

Depending on the level of cover you choose, your package could also give you a number of other brilliant benefits. Annual services, emergency call-outs, or coverage for your entire central heating system, to name just a few. These additional services enhance the overall value of your care plan, making it an even more palatable investment for your home. 

Choosing a care package for your boiler is financially and practically a wise move. Of course, a number of factors will influence the level of cover you need, such as the age of your boiler, your access to ready money to fund repairs and your individual level of risk tolerance.
