Boiler Cover

Trusted by customers with their car and home insurance

What is boiler cover?

If your boiler unexpectedly broke down, leaving you without heating or hot water, boiler cover is designed for you to have the boiler repaired or, if needed, parts replaced. It would also cover repairs related to sudden loss of water pressure within your boiler due to a fault, or unforeseen water leaks from the boiler or heating system.

Does home insurance cover boilers?

While buildings or contents insurance alone will not cover your boiler, boiler cover is included within the Home Emergency Cover optional extra. We don’t offer stand alone boiler cover.

In addition to boilers, Home Emergency Cover includes coverage for plumbing, drainage, security, and temporary heating emergencies. For more information about Home Emergency Cover, have a look at its dedicated page here.

Is boiler cover worth it?

As long as your boiler has an output of 60kW or less, it could be covered along with its associated parts including, isolating valve, pump, motorized valves, thermostat, radiator, timer, temperature pressure controls and primary flue. If you’ve added any equipment to the system, such as a Magnaclean or similar device, unfortunately, that would not be covered. Additionally, adjustments to the timing and temperature controls, replacements of controls, or relighting the pilot light, would not be covered; as these can often be done safely by yourself.
