Q - What’s included in my Central Heating Breakdown Cover?
A- If you suffer a breakdown of your domestic gas boiler, call-out, parts, labour and VAT are covered. Boiler Breakdown covers the repair of your gas fired central heating boiler (excluding warm air heating systems). The maximum permissible output of your domestic gas fired boiler under this cover is 60Kw.
Q - When will I be covered?
A- Your breakdown cover will commence on the expiry of your free guarantee.
Q - Are there any exclusions with Boiler Breakdown Cover?
A - The cover is only for your gas boiler and does not include any other part of the gas central heating system. You will not be covered for problems caused by failure of the external public services to the property. The policy does not provide cover for the replacement of the boiler or any appliances. Full terms and conditions will be provided with your Policy Summary.
Q - Can you cover my boiler?
A - Provided your gas boiler meets the eligibility criteria, you can be covered. Boilers over 15 years old are not eligible for cover.
Q - Who is eligible to apply?
A - All homeowners are eligible to apply, unless the property is a mobile home, bedsit, in multiple occupancy or is used for commercial purposes, in which case the property can’t be covered. Council tenants will not need this service and private tenants are advised to check with their landlord before applying.
Q - What do I do if there is a gas leak?
A - If you ever smell gas or detect a leak you should call Gas Emergency Services on their emergency telephone number 0800 111 999. For more information about Carbon Monoxide gas safety call the HES Gas Safety Advice line: 0800 300 363. Remember Carbon Monoxide can kill.
Q - What if I’m not satisfied with the cover?
A - Your cover starts the day your application is processed. In the unlikely event you are not satisfied, you can return the Policy Summary within 42 days of receipt to receive a full refund, providing you have not made a claim.
Please note that your statutory cancellation rights which begin at the end of the waiting period and run for 14 days, are included in this 42 day period. Full details of how to make a complaint will be detailed in the terms and conditions you will receive on joining.
