Why get central heating cover?
If you'd like the security of having your boiler and central heating maintained regularly and someone carrying out repairs if it breaks down, then you should consider central heating cover.
Your own energy supplier may offer this but you can compare prices to get the right deal for you.
What central heating cover is right for me?
Prices and what exactly is covered varies hugely. Your options will depend on the type of system you have and the extent of cover you are looking for. If you are a landlord, you can find a package especially for you. There is also a limited range of products for older systems. Our comparison service will show you all your options.
What isn't covered?
Again, what isn't included will depend on the kind of plan you choose. You may find that some impose limits on the amount you can claim per year/per claim, or some do not cover things like scale damage or safety inspections and annual services. Luckily, finding this information is easy on the uSwitch boiler cover comparison service, which will allow you to compare the details of up to six plans.
