Boiler Insurance

npower gas boiler cover

Repairing a broken-down boiler can set you back hundreds of pounds and leave you without heating or hot water while you wait for it to be fixed, which is why so many homeowners rely on boiler insurance to spread the cost of repairs and give them peace of mind.

Is it right for me?

Although this plan covers your boiler and associated controls, you’ll have to pay between £60 and £90 for your boiler’s annual safety check each year as it isn’t included in your monthly payments.

To decide if this is the right cover for you, simply think about your needs, and compare the monthly cost against other boiler insurance plans on the market. While it’s essential that your annual boiler safety check is carried out, this competitively priced cover might still be cheaper, even after you add on the additional cost.

You don’t have to be an npower customer to take out npower’s gas boiler heating cover, which means that if it’s the best cover for you, you can still get it. And you’ll also be able to take advantage of a 10% discount as a new customer, taking your monthly cost down to just £8.99

What's isn't covered?

• Cover is only for your gas boiler and associated controls. It does not include any other part of the gas central heating system e.g. radiators
• You won’t be covered for any problems caused by a failure of public services
• The first 28 days after application are not covered, so you only get 11 month’s cover in your first year
• The replacement of your boiler is not covered

Don't forget

• Some central heating plans also include the cost of your boiler’s annual safety check, but npower’s gas central heating cover does not, so you’ll have to pay extra for this.
