What actually happens when you turn on your boiler?
2nd November 2023
Winter is coming and with it a whole host of seasonal expenses, like higher energy costs, Halloween decorations and of course, Christmas. Boiler cover can be an invaluable tool for homeowners looking to budget effectively. With our Sensible Boiler Cover plans, there’s literally a plan for every budget. So, if you’re minding the pennies this year, or don’t fancy an unexpected bill coming at you at the worst time possible, read on.
Predictable monthly outgoings
The clue is in the name. A boiler cover plan allows you to do just that, plan. You’ll typically pay a fixed monthly or annual premium for your boiler cover. With options ranging from basic boiler cover, to an all-singing, all-dancing cover plan that deals with your wider home heating and plumbing, there really is something for everyone. This predictability makes budgeting a breeze, as you know exactly how much you’ll be spending each month.
Avoiding costly repair bills
Boilers are complex systems that can develop issues over time and sadly the majority of these issues rear their ugly heads in winter. Cold weather places pressure on our home heating system and means they’re more likely to break down. Repairing or replacing a faulty boiler can be a substantial financial burden; costing into the thousands, depending on the issue. Boiler cover provides financial protection by covering the cost of your boiler repairs, and even replacement if the worst happens.
No extra charges for regular boiler services
The best way to protect your home is to maintain your boiler and wider heating system properly. This means annually servicing your boiler, which typically carries a fee of around £150. Our Sensible Boiler Cover plans all include annual servicing as part of the package and start from less than the cost of one boiler service per year. A no brainer, right? By bundling servicing with your cover, you save on the cost of these important maintenance visits and gain peace of mind into the bargain.
No costly call-out fee
Boiler breakdowns seldom happen when convenient for the homeowner. In fact, pick the most inconvenient day and time and you can put money on your boiler choosing that exact moment to conk out. Even more annoying, it’s probably going to be a busy time of year for the qualified GasSafe-registered engineers. This can mean you have to wait a while for someone to get to you and to add insult to injury, you’ll probably have an emergency call-out fee to add to your repair bill. With a boiler cover plan, this call-out is included. So in the unlikely event that your fully-serviced and well-maintained boiler breaks down, you know you’re covered.
Offering predictable payments, protection against costly repairs, regular servicing, emergency assistance and a host of Sensible Boiler Cover options, having a boiler care plan really is a smart move.
