Choosing which boiler cover or boiler insurance policy to take out can be seriously confusing.

Yet, when it comes to protecting your boiler and gas central heating, it really is something you want to get right.

After all, nobody wants the hassle and stress of waking up to a freezing house with no hot water because your boiler has broken down, particularly during the winter months.

That’s why at Gas Angel Heating we decided to simplify the different types of boiler cover that you can buy to ensure you are choosing the right level of cover with confidence.

But first of all, let’s start with a question you may be asking yourself…

Do I need boiler cover?

Imagine the scenario. Summer has come to an end, you’ve enjoyed the autumn festivities and now looking forward to dark nights and comforting winter dinners with heaps of mash and gravy (or is that just us?)

And, to really signal the change in season, you’ve finally taken the plunge and switched the heating back on.

But then, all of a sudden, you hear strange noises rattling through your boiler. Or, even worse, perhaps your once trusty appliance ignores your instructions completely and refuses to do, well, anything.

Without boiler cover, your next step is calling around to find a trustworthy heating engineer or – *horror movie sound effects* – buying a brand new boiler.

With boiler cover, however, your boiler is likely to last longer because it will have been regularly serviced and cleaned by a Gas Safe Registered pro – meaning there are less likely to be nasty surprises when you switch it back on in autumn.

Plus, you won’t need to dive into the money you plan to use for Christmas because your cover can be paid for in low, easy monthly payments. This means you completely avoid, not only the hassle but the expense of an unexpected boiler breakdown altogether.

OK, so we’ve established you’d quite like to invest in boiler cover, another question you may be asking is…

Which boiler cover plan is best for me?

Let us say one thing first of all; regardless of which plan you choose to sign up for, you will get first-class local expertise and benefit from a human being to talk to at Gas Angel, rather than automated telephone systems and long wait times.

Gas Angel Cover is also an affordable option against large national companies such as British Gas Homecare.

PLUS, we’re a North East family-run business that is committed to helping towards climate change. We plant two trees to offset your boiler CO2 when you join us and promise to plant 2 trees for you each year that you stay with us.

So, what are we waiting for, lets compare!

Plan A: Annual boiler service cover

This is the most affordable and efficient way to buy a boiler service.

Not only does Plan A let you pay for your annual boiler service monthly and in advance, you receive a discount making it at least £10 cheaper than paying for a one-off boiler service.

Another big benefit included in all of our cover plans is that you’ll never forget to have your boiler serviced – you get a reminder by text and email a couple of weeks before your annual boiler service is due.

What’s more, if your boiler service is due soon and you don’t currently have annual boiler service cover, we will carry out your first service at half price, just £35, when you sign up for Plan A.

Plan A is only £5 per month and includes:

• Annual boiler service & reminder

• 365-day telephone support

• 10% off all other Gas Angel Services

• 2 trees planted to offset your boiler CO2

• Option to add gas fire service

• Option to add a landlord safety check

Plan B – Boiler breakdown cover

For added peace of mind, you can upgrade from Plan A to Plan B Boiler Cover for just £7 more per month.

Our boiler breakdown cover Plan B is our most popular cover plan with families, offering great value for money and reassurance.

With this plan, your boiler service is included free of charge, so if your boiler service is due soon there will be nothing to pay with Plan B boiler cover.

On top of that, you’re guaranteed a working boiler, hot showers, and a warm and cosy home all year-round.

Plan B is just £12 per month and includes:

• Annual boiler service & reminder

• Gas boiler, flue & controls

• Pumps & motorised valves

• Hot water feeds

• Expansion tanks, cylinders & immersion

• Option of £0 or £60 call-out fee

• 2 trees planted to offset your boiler CO2

• Option to add gas fire service

• Option to add a landlord safety check

Plan C – Central heating cover

Finally, for only £6 more than the previous plan you can choose our most comprehensive cover.

Plan C not only covers boiler repairs and includes a free annual boiler service but also protects your wider central heating system too.

This is the ideal choice for those hoping to avoid all boiler and central heating repair bills, with the extra benefit of priority call-outs should a central heating problem occur.

Plan C costs £18 per month and includes:

• Annual boiler service & reminder

• Gas boiler, flue & controls

• Pumps & motorised valves

• Hot water feeds

• Expansion tanks, cylinders & immersion

• Full central heating (radiators, pipes, cylinders)

• Water supply pipes, including stopcock

• Gas supply pipe connecting boiler to meter

• Additional saving for boilers in warranty

• Option of £0 or £60 call-out fee

• 2 trees planted to offset your boiler CO2

• Option to add gas fire service

• Option to add a landlord safety check

Please note: Our plans do not cover preexisting faults or damage caused by sludge. In addition to this our plans also do not cover running you a hot bath, warming up your PJ’s on the radiator, or bringing you your slippers.

But aside from that, we’re pretty confident our three Gas Angel Cover plans have you covered for everything you need to stay safe and warm all year.
