Boiler cover can be worth it if you'd rather spread the cost of unexpected repairs into affordable monthly payments than face a large one-off bill - a single repair can be costly. Cover also gives you a nationwide network of Gas Safe engineers and a 24/7 Emergency Helpline. Whether it suits you depends on your boiler's age and condition and your circumstances, subject to policy terms and exclusions.

A boiler service is a planned annual check where a Gas Safe engineer inspects and tests your boiler to keep it safe and efficient. Boiler cover is insurance that helps pay for repairs if your boiler breaks down unexpectedly. They work best together: a service helps prevent faults and keeps you eligible to claim, while cover protects you if a breakdown still happens. Smart Cover plans include an optional annual service.

Check the thermostat is set to heat and the timer is calling for heating, check the pressure gauge isn't too low, look for a fault code on the display, and try a single reset if your boiler has a reset button. If it still won't fire, call the claims line on03333 449 559to arrange a Gas Safe engineer. Never attempt gas repairs yourself.

Simply call our helpline on03333 449 559and a member of the team will take you through the claims process and arrange for a nationwide Gas Safe registered engineer to attend as soon as possible.
