Heating insurance

In the heart of winter, just the thought of having no heating can send shivers down your spine! Home Emergency policies from Protect your Bubble include heating insurance as part the protection to ensure that if there is a problem it can be resolved as quickly and as affordable as possible.

Home emergency insurance covers a wide range of domestic emergency situations including

• plumbing and drains
• mains service supply;
• home security;
• lost keys;
• uninhabitable accommodation benefit.
  

It is possible to opt for a policy that also includes:

• primary heating;
• annual boiler inspection and service;
• pest infestation.
  

Heating systems do go wrong from time to time, in fact there's a domestic boiler breakdown every 20 seconds in the UK.*

Possible problems could arise with the boiler itself or the feeds of mains services such as water, gas or electricity.

With our heating insurance policy all you have to do in the first instance is to give us a call as soon as you discover that something is wrong with your main heating system.

Our experts on the emergency help-lines, which are open 24 hours a day, will be able to give you advice on how to best to deal with the problem short term and importantly, how also to ensure that your home is made safe until help arrives. They will then go on to contact the relevant individuals and organisations they believe are needed to sort out the emergency.

The primary objective of this type of emergency cover is to deal with the emergency and to make sure that your home is safe and fit to live in. If this is not possible during the first visit of the repairer then your heating insurance policy can also provide funds for temporary accommodation up to a value of £250.

The service offered by this type of cover may not include a full permanent repair to the heating system. It is important to note that this type of cover is intended to complement home buildings and contents insurance and not to replace it.

So, if you have heating insurance as part of your home emergency policy from Protect your bubble, it should be able to provide you with the help you need to get your heating system back up and running as quickly as possible. Our gold cover can also provide for an annual boiler inspection and service which could help to keep things in good running order and reduce breakdown risks.
