At Edinburgh Boiler Cover Company, we understand that your boiler is the heart of your home. It keeps you warm, provides hot water, and ensures your comfort throughout the year. But what happens when things go wrong? That’s where the boiler breakdown cover comes in. As your local experts in Edinburgh, we’re here to guide you through the different types of boiler covers available and help you choose the right plan for your needs.
Why Boiler Cover Matters
Before we dive into the types of cover, let’s talk about why it’s so important. Imagine waking up on a chilly Edinburgh morning to find your boiler isn’t working. No heat, no hot water, and a potentially hefty repair bill on the horizon. Boiler cover is your safety net, ensuring that you’re protected against unexpected boiler breakdowns and costly repairs.
As a local company, we’ve seen firsthand how proper boiler cover can save our customers from stress and financial strain. That’s why we’ve developed a range of boiler cover policies and plans designed to suit different needs and budgets.
Types of Boiler Cover: An Overview
When it comes to the best boiler cover here, one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we offer various types of coverage, each tailored to provide different levels of protection. Let’s break down the main types of boiler cover available:
- Basic Boiler Cover
- Boiler and Controls Cover
- Central Heating System Cover
- Full Home Cover
Each of these types offers different levels of protection, and the right choice for you will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. Let’s explore each type in more detail.
Basic Boiler Cover
A basic boiler cover is the most straightforward type of protection. It typically covers the cost of repairs to your boiler if it breaks down. This can include the cost of parts and labour and sometimes an annual service.
While we don’t offer a standalone basic boiler cover plan, our entry-level BoilerPlan includes this coverage and more. It’s an excellent option for those who want essential protection without any frills.
Boiler and Controls Cover
This type of cover goes a step further than a basic boiler cover. In addition to protecting your boiler, it also covers the controls that operate your boiler and heating system. This includes your thermostat and programmer.
Our BoilerPlan falls into this category. For just £19.00 per month, you get:
- No excess fees
- Annual boiler service
- Gas safety certificate
- Comprehensive cover for your boiler and controls
This plan is perfect for homeowners who want peace of mind knowing that both their boiler and its control systems are protected.
Central Heating Cover
Central heating cover is more comprehensive, extending protection to your entire boiler and central heating system. This includes your boiler, radiators, pipes, and valves.
Our HeatPlan, priced at £29.00 per month, offers this level of coverage. It includes all the benefits of the BoilerPlan, plus a Central heating cover.
This plan is ideal for those who want to ensure their entire heating system is protected, not just the boiler itself.
Full Home Cover
The full home cover is the most comprehensive type of protection available. It typically includes everything in a full central heating cover, plus additional coverage for other home systems like plumbing, drains, and electrics.
Our HomePlan, at £39.00 per month, provides this all-encompassing coverage. In addition to all the benefits of the HeatPlan, it also includes:
- Internal plumbing cover
- Home drains cover
- Home electrics cover
This plan is perfect for homeowners who want complete peace of mind, knowing that all their home’s major systems are protected.

Every plan we offer includes an annual boiler service. This proactive approach helps prevent boiler breakdowns and ensures your boiler is running efficiently, potentially saving you money on energy bills.

With any of our plans, you’ll receive a gas safety certificate. This important document certifies that your gas appliances are safe to use, providing extra peace of mind.

Choosing the Right Boiler Cover
With so many options available, how do you choose the right boiler cover? Here are some factors to consider:
Age and Condition of Your Boiler
If your boiler is relatively new and in good condition, a basic plan like our BoilerPlan might be sufficient. However, if your boiler is older or has had issues in the past, you might want to consider a more comprehensive plan.
Age and Condition of Your Home
Older homes often have older heating systems and may be more prone to plumbing or electrical issues. In these cases, a more comprehensive plan like our HomePlan could be a wise investment.
Your Budget
While it’s tempting to go for the most comprehensive cover, it’s important to choose a plan that fits your budget. Remember, any cover is better than no cover at all.
Your Peace of Mind
How much coverage do you need to feel secure? If the thought of any home system breaking down causes you stress, a comprehensive plan might be worth the investment for your peace of mind.
Additional Benefits
Consider the extra benefits each plan offers. For example, all our plans include an annual boiler service and a gas safety certificate, which can be valuable additions.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
While boiler cover is crucial for protecting you against unexpected breakdowns, regular maintenance is equally important. That’s why you get an annual boiler service included with all our cover plans. This service helps:
- Prevent breakdowns by catching potential issues early
- Ensure your boiler is running efficiently, potentially reducing your energy bills
- Extend the lifespan of your boiler
- Maintain the validity of your boiler’s warranty
During the annual service, our qualified engineers will thoroughly inspect your boiler, clean key components, and make any necessary adjustments. This proactive approach can save you money and hassle in the long run.
