Five reasons why your new boiler needs a care plan
22nd June 2023
In short, yes. Stands to reason really, doesn’t it? A newer model boiler means it’s less likely to breakdown; saving you cash when it comes to your boiler cover plan. But, the benefits don’t stop there. A modern boiler can save you money elsewhere, reduce your carbon footprint and keep your family safe. Here’s how…
Upgrading your boiler
Boilers, like all of us, have a certain lifespan. As they age, they become less efficient, more prone to breakdowns and sadly more expensive to repair. Finding replacement parts can cause boiler cover providers a headache, so they tend to whack up premiums for older model boilers. Upgrading your boiler will normally lower your boiler cover premiums and mean you’re less likely to experience boiler failure in the future.
Go greener
Newer boilers are more energy-efficient than older ones. They use less fuel to generate the same amount of heat, which not only lowers your energy bills but also reduces the strain on the boiler, making it less likely to break down. This has the effect of both reducing your monthly cover plan premiums and making sure you’re doing your bit for planet protection. Win, win.
Improved safety features
Modern boilers often come equipped with advanced safety features, like automatic shut-offs in case of a malfunction. This dramatically reduces the risk of damage to your boiler and your home, if the worst happens. Boiler care plan providers, as well as other home insurers, view this as a significant benefit and may reduce your premiums as a result. Lucky you!
Installation by certified professionals
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again; it’s illegal for any engineer to work with gas if they’re not Gas Safe-registered. Quality installation is key when upgrading your boiler. A poorly fitted boiler can cause a number of issues, endangering both the validity of your boiler care plan and even your life.

Maintaining your new boiler
Even after upgrading your boiler, regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your premiums low. An annual service by a certified engineer can help spot potential issues early on and ensure that your boiler runs efficiently, reducing the likelihood of expensive claims.
