shield - boiler cover and gas central heating protection

Boilers. Most of us have one. But rarely enjoy talking or thinking about them. As long as the water and radiators are hot, we can pretty much forget about them. But find yourself next to a person whose boiler has just packed up on them (while taking a shower on a cold winter’s morning) and you’ll never hear the end of them. Why?

Boilers are one of the most expensive home items to be repaired or replaced. A typical single breakdown costs approximately £370*. Like most unfortunate things, we think, "It’ll never happen to me". We hope it doesn’t. That’s why we’ve put together shield - a gas boiler and central heating package to protect you from the costs and inconveniences that come with boiler problems.

shield boiler and controls protection costs just £12.50 a month – a small price to pay for:

- peace of mind
- full annual service of your gas boiler (worth £60)
- annual safety and maintenance inspection of your central heating system
- unlimited callouts, parts and labour
- priority, on-demand breakdown service
- our own local CORGI-registered engineers
- 24/7 emergency helpline, 365 days a year

For an extra £4 a month you can protect your full central heating system. And because we’re committed to helping you take control and save money we’ll give you £25 off your energy bill** for choosing shield.

^{*Potential cost of a boiler breakdown = £370: call out charge over £50, two hours of labour £120, and replacing a new pump to £200. These costs are based on our standard service charges and potential costs for parts and labour are based on average costs charged by CORGI registered engineers.
