What is boiler insurance and why might you need it?

What is boiler insurance? That’s easy. It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the right boiler breakdown cover plan from a reliable and trustworthy boiler engineer. 

If your boiler does break down for some reason, it will leave you with no heating and no hot water. Inconvenient at the best of times, but definitely the last thing you want in the winter months.  

Essential as boiler breakdown cover is, it’s just as important to make sure your boiler is working at its maximum level of efficiency.

The fact is that boilers are quite complicated pieces of equipment. Even an ordinary, run of the mill gas boiler these days is far more complicated than ever before. Like other kitchen appliances, boilers are controlled by smart electronic systems and devices, which means they must be serviced regularly.  

A boiler service is an essential part of maintaining your boiler’s efficiency. It’s recommended that you have your boiler serviced annually, and most major boiler manufacturers agree.

A boiler that’s been serviced annually will be more efficient and lead to fewer breakdowns, saving you money in the long run. It’s also worth remembering that some boiler manufacturers won’t honour the warranty if you don’t have your boiler serviced at the suggested intervals.

If you haven’t had your boiler serviced over the last 18 months, we highly recommend you get it done at your earliest convenience to prevent any potential problems from building up.

That said, as with any other complicated piece of equipment, even a modern, well-serviced boiler can develop an unexpected fault, and that’s why you should have a good breakdown service plan to protect you in case of an emergency.

With the right boiler breakdown cover, you can avoid getting caught out with expensive repairs. It should provide you with a range of options to cover your home’s boiler and central heating, from standalone boiler cover to comprehensive levels of protection that take care of your entire home heating system.
