What is a boiler plan?
A boiler plan is a service agreement that covers the cost of boiler repairs, annual servicing. It helps you avoid unexpected high costs and keeps your heating system running smoothly.
I have completed my form what happens next?
One of our office staff will call you and talk you through the process and arrange for initial inspection.
Do I really need a boiler plan?
A boiler plan provides peace of mind, especially if your boiler is older or out of warranty. It ensures you’re covered for sudden breakdowns and can spread the cost of maintenance rather than paying large one-off bills.
Is a boiler service included in the plan?
Yes, our boiler plans include one annual service to keep your boiler running efficiently, extend its lifespan, and maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.
What is covered as part of my plan?
Please refer to our terms and conditions ‘What’s not included’ section, if you are still not sure please feel free to contact us to discuss
What if I move home?
If you move, you can usually transfer your boiler plan to your new property, provided the boiler meets the provider’s requirements.

ALL TOILET REPAIRS HAVE A £50 EXCESS
This is our ‘No price hike’ promise to you.
No claims in your first year? We have capped the second year price for you at just 5%. If you have made a claim, your renewal will be higher than 5% but still lower than renewal quotes from national companies. We do this to keep prices as low as possible for everyone, but wherever we can, we make sure that renewal prices are lower than our competitors.
Your renewal price is based on two things only;
1. 2. The number of claims – we look at how many issues we have had to fix in the last year. The fewer claims you have, the lower the increase will be.
Inflation – the cost of labour and parts goes up with inflation. We therefor need to increase our price in line with this. The table below shows renewal prices for customers that we have renewed recently.

Your current boiler’s age and condition
Our Homecare packages are based on a working, efficient boiler that falls within the recommended age. Upon inspection of your current boiler we may recommend that it replaced, based on the following;
Your boiler is 15-20 years old – We are able to provide Homecare cover. However we strongly recommend replacement of your current boiler, as it will soon be beyond economical repair and parts may become unavailable.
Your boiler is 12-15 years old – We are able to provide Homecare cover. However we strongly recommend replacement in the next 12 months due to its age.
Your boiler is 1-12 years old – We are able to provide Homecare cover on your current boiler and it falls within our recommended age range.
Should you require a new boiler, we can provide you with a competitive quotation for you on site, based on our recommendations and the size of your property etc.
