Does home insurance cover boilers?

Most home insurance policies don't cover boilers as standard, so you'll need to take out extra cover.

Our home emergency cover offers protection for a range of unexpected household emergencies, including boiler breakdowns. If your boiler stops working, all you need to do is ring the helpline on your policy documents – you can find these in our app or MyAccount. Once you've told us, we'll send an approved tradesperson to fix it.

A policy with home emergency cover also covers things like:

• Faulty heating systems.
• Draining and plumbing issues.
• Roof damage.
• The failure of power and gas supplies.
