6 February 2009: Britain might not have been prepared for the snowy weather we've seen of late, but it doesn't mean you can't be. With one domestic boiler breaking down every 20 seconds in the UK and costing around £64 million in call-out and repair charges, it makes sense to ‘health check' your boiler in advance and ensure your winter is warm and hassle-free.

Stephen Ebbett at Protectyourbubble.com, a new ethical insurer, comments: "The cost of call-out and repair is an issue for most people, but there's also the problem of being left in the cold with no heating or hot water while you try to find a reliable plumber to come out quickly. During the peak winter season, this can be particularly troublesome."

Ebbett continues: "As they say, prevention is better than a cure. A good insurance policy will provide you with an annual ‘health check' for your boiler to help guard against problems waiting to happen."

Protectyourbubble.com's Gold Home Emergency costs from £15 per month and includes:

• An annual ‘health check' for your boiler that can be taken at any point during the year
• Call-out and repair service for your plumbing, drains and mains service supply
• Home security and lost keys insurance
• £250 uninhabitable accommodation benefit
• Up to three claims per year
• Maximum payable benefit £1000 per claim, up to £2000 during the 12 months of your policy

Protectyourbubble.com is a new ethical insurer that provides policies designed to look after individual lifestyles. For every Home Emergency policy sold or renewed, Protectyourbubble.com donates £1 to the Missing People, the UK's only charity that works with young runaways, missing and unidentified people, their families and others who care for them.
