Multi Appliance Insurance

Our home appliances assist us all in carrying out our essential household functions such as cooking, cleaning and food preservation. Thus, being protected by Smart-Cover’s appliance insurance will mean that you do not have to go without your fridge freezer, washing machine or cooker for long periods of time whilst waiting for them to be fixed, or until you purchase a new one.

Appliance repairs and replacements can be costly and stressful which is why it is in your best interest to be protected. When your tumble dryer breaks down or your cooker stops working, the last thing you want is an expensive bill for a repair or a replacement. You can opt to steer clear of this hassle with Smart Cover’s wide-range of appliance insurance plans.

Kitchen appliance insurance covers your appliances which can be found in the kitchen including, your fridge freezer, cooker, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, oven, washer dryer and hob and hood.

Smart-Cover’s flexible home appliance insurance cover enables you to choose which household appliances are most important to you that you wish to protect. We cover your appliances which can be found in the kitchen in the event of mechanical breakdown, electrical breakdown and accidental damage. (Accidental damage excludes televisions).

We can offer insurance for an appliance of any age, however for older appliances the cover may be limited to reduced contribution of the cost of a replacement, or “repair-only” depending on the age of the item.
