Boiler cover - why is it important?

What is boiler cover?

During the cold winter months, all sorts of problems with your boiler can arise - such as the dreaded frozen condensate pipe. This can cause leaks, blockages, and all sorts of headaches that can lead to callout and repair costs adding up. 

If your boiler or heating system breaks down, boiler cover or central heating insurance will cover the expense of calling an engineer to repair it. Some insurance companies will make you pay for the callout fee, as well as parts and labour - if your boiler then needs further work.

This is one of the many advantages of choosing BOXT boiler cover. Once you sign up, you don’t need to worry about remembering a thing. When the time comes for your annual service, we contact you, offer dates that fit around your busy life and book you in.
