You should consider the age of your boiler. Have you just had your boiler installed? If this is the case, then the boiler will probably be covered by a manufacturer warranty, so insurance wouldn’t be necessary. It is worth remembering that the warranty would only cover the boiler and not your central heating, you might still want to consider that excludes boiler cover.
However, it’s worth noting that new statistics show that 1 in 6 boilers break down within the first 6 years of installation. We generally say that if your boiler is over 3 years old, or the manufacturer warranty has expired, then it’s worth having BOILER INSURANCE.
An average boiler repair call-out costs around £220, and a new boiler can cost anything from £700 to over £2500 depending on the property, so having insurance at under £6 per month starts to make sense.
Your boiler might also be covered by your house insurance so check this too, no point in having your boiler insured twice!
If you want peace of mind and the assurance that you can have any boiler problems fixed by making one phone call, then BOILER INSURANCE would work well for you.
It is worth noting that if you’re renting a property then it is not your responsibility to insure your boiler, get in touch with your landloror estate agent and make sure they look after and service your boiler (they must do this by law).
