What is a full boiler protection plan?

A full boiler protection plan generally gives complete protection for your heating system, covering the repair or replacement of a range of components, as well as including the annual boiler service.  

Who can utilise a full boiler protection plan?

A full boiler protection plan is ideal for anyone who wants peace of mind knowing that their heating system is covered in the event of something going wrong, as well as keeping their manufacturer’s warranty valid and up-to-date.

They’re also a great option for landlords who want to know that their property is covered and they can look after their tenants, even if they can’t physically be at the premises themselves. 

What is covered by a full boiler protection plan?

What’s included within a plan will vary depending on the provider and the level of cover chosen, but usually, it will include the annual boiler service, boiler and controls, and central heating (radiators, cylinders and valves), with the option to add extras such as plumbing, drains and electrics. The more that is covered under the plan, the more expensive it will generally be.

What is an annual boiler service? 

An annual boiler service involves an engineer checking your boiler to ensure that everything is working as it should be and keeping an eye out for any warning signs of things that could go wrong. Not only does this help you stay on top of your boiler health, but if you have a manufacturer’s warranty on your boiler then getting an annual service is usually required to maintain the validity.
