E - ensure your understand the terms of your boiler cover
Familiarise yourself with the details of your home emergency cover or boiler warranty - including what is covered and any stipulations. With many, for example, you are required to complete a regular/annual service to ensure your boiler is safe. If you don’t, any future claim may not be valid.
Our latest research
New research among UK homeowners, highlights potential confusion over insurance policies and boiler warranties, as 54% of homeowner’s could unwittingly see a future claim rejected in relation to their gas boiler.
Many householders underestimate the coverage provided by typical home insurance policies and warranties. Furthermore, 1 in 5 homeowners stated that they wouldn’t be able to cover emergency home repairs exceeding £1000 without financial assistance.
Understanding the ins and outs of home insurance policies and boiler warranties can help you save money and also provide peace of mind, knowing your home is protected.
Working with experts, Martin Roberts (home and property expert) and Martyn James (consumer rights expert, columnist and presenter), the spring campaign encourages UK homeowners to get up to scratch on the T&Cs of their household policies and avoid being out of pocket or without heating or hot water.
