Gas Central Heating Breakdown Cover with an Annual Boiler Service

Gas Central Heating Breakdown Cover

A leak within or breakdown of the 'natural gas' gas central heating boiler, the central heating system and its associated pipework

Drain down and isolate leaking water tanks, radiators and hot water cylinders

Unable to control the temperature or timings of your boiler

There is no claims limit and no limit to the number of claims provided the boiler is not beyond economical repair

Annual Boiler Service

Your policy includes provision for an annual gas boiler service. This is not an element of insurance and therefore is not part of the contract of insurance, underwritten by the underwriter and is not regulated by the FSA. This also means that if you have any complaint relating to this service, you will not have the right to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. We will contact you to arrange for an engineer to service the gas fired boiler to statutory requirements, manufacturer's recommendations and relevant codes of practice. Boiler services are normally undertaken Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, between April and September.

Excess Amount Payable

You will have to pay the first £50 of any claim. We can only accept payment using the following cards: MasterCard, Solo, Switch Maestro, Visa or Visa Delta. A separate excess payment is required for each area of policy coverage affected by a claim, whether for a single incident which requires you to claim under more than one area of policy coverage or for each new unrelated claim you make. Excess payment(s) will be taken when you call to make a claim. Please see the policy Terms & Conditions for further details.
