Getting good central heating breakdown cover
Boiler breakdown cover is often very interchangeable with central heating service contracts, though numerous companies may package break down cover along with semiannual service costs. Anyhow, it makes sense to look at your central heating breakdown cover as a distinct item, and inquire about some critical items regarding the product you’re signing up for.
It’s important to realise that a central heating breakdown can go from being trouble to an straight-out disaster, so be confident you’ll be given the best help, whether it’s as part of a boiler insurance deal or as stand-alone central heating breakdown cover.
The most important thing is to double check your package has 24 x 7 service provision and that their staff are CORGI documented. If they meet those criteria simply pick out the provider that seems nicest to you.
You’ll find umpteen unusual add-ons from the various central heating insurance cover firms, in particular if the offering you’re considering is bundled with a GCH service contract. Ensure you are looking for this as the bare minimum standard, and you’ll be safe from the great majority of pitfalls those signing up for central heating breakdown cover face.
And a final thing: be utterly sure there are no boundaries on the number of visits you will be able to have during your contract. Some suppliers may hide a clause in the fine details of their paperwork and the last possible thing you want in an disaster is to be shown you’ve ran through the total amount of home visits!
