If your boiler is running smoothly and efficiently for the majority of its lifespan, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns from actually happening as regular checkups help detect small issues even before they get worse, helping you keep your boiler unit in the best shape. If your unit is always at its best, it is less likely that you will need to get a replacement boiler.

What Type of Covers are there
Boiler packages are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. They all depend on which company you choose and the specific package you go for. What’s included in each package will differ from one company to another so it is best if you will enquire in advance to make sure you get the best deal possible. There are 3 major types of boiler covers:
- Basic Cover. This boiler cover will include the regular servicing and maintenance checks of your boiler. Some companies even have a contact centre which you can call anytime whenever your boiler breaks down.
- Dual Cover. This cover has all the benefits of the basic package as well as coverage for your central heating such as the radiators, flue and pumps.
- Threefold Cover. This cover has all the benefits of the first 2 packages, including more options that will take care of your electrical wiring, drains and plumbing.
Before you decide to get a boiler cover, there are some things that you should consider. Firstly, does your home insurance come with an inclusive boiler cover, as this will save the cost of an additional insurance. Secondly, there are some instances that do not qualify for boiler cover such as commercial properties, bedsits and mobile homes and if you are renting a property, it might be best to negotiate with the landlord or letting agents to arrange the boiler cover for you.
If you have an old and outdated boiler unit, there is a great likelihood that boiler cover won’t be available, so you might need to consider installing a new one, with warranties and boiler cover included. If you’ve got a new boiler, the manufacturer’s warranty will likely cover the boiler in case of breakdowns, so taking a boiler cover within this period is an additional option.
