The maximum sum protected including parts, labour and VAT is £750.  Protection will commence 30 days after receipt of your completed application.  Your agreement with us is a fixed term period of 12 months.  Cancelling of your agreement by yourselves requires 30 days notice.  If cancelling part way through the year and a claim has been made during the year, then the full year’s payment will need to be paid in full on date of cancellation. Your first boiler service or landlord safety certificate (if applicable) will be carried out on the 13th month of cover.
 
The key benefits are:
• Full parts and labour (as per your agreement) if your system breaks or needs repair.  There is no age limit on your boiler and it does not matter who installed it, as long as all the essential working parts are available and we have approved it.
• You don’t have any bills to pay as we deal with the engineer direct.
• Specialist team of local friendly Gas Safe approved engineers.
• Dedicated Helpline – with an engineer visiting you as soon as possible.
• An annual service of your boiler and system (except electric boilers and parts of the system that aren’t easy to get to).  All service work to be carried out between the months of May and September.  This then leaves the colder months available for breakdowns.
• No hidden excess charges.
