A heating breakdown plan from a national name at a competitive price

March 2004

The recent erratic nature of the famous British weather has left people continually wondering whether Spring is advancing or Winter has returned. But the near Arctic conditions virtually every other week could prove both miserable and costly should your boiler fail during a cold spell.

With repair protection from Heatguard, Domestic & General's breakdown protection plan, you can cover your combination or conventional heating system and make sure it is in safe hands whenever the cold weather strikes.

Most major makes of boiler are eligible for cover and there are varying plans to suit most needs. Annual cover for conventional boiler and controls starts from just £90, payable in either one payment or in monthly instalments by direct debit. Unlike most repair plans, there is no pre-inspection although there is a thirty day wait before the protection can be used. Conventional boilers need to be under 15 years of age to qualify, and combination and condensing five.

Heatguard Platinum costs just £150 for annual cover for the entire conventional boiler system and includes an annual service. This service, which is carried out by Domestic & General's long established and monitored independent heating repair agents, is a full service and not simply a safety check. Every customer whose boiler repair is carried out by one of our network of engineers is then sent a comprehensive questionnaire to check satisfaction with all aspects of the repair from initial contact to the information provided by the service agent.

Those who live in hard water areas will understand the problems scale damage can cause to boilers but, unlike many other insurers, Domestic & General includes scale damage cover of the boiler in their policies so you have the cover you really need.
At a time when there can be real problems finding a competent and qualified repairer it could be worth considering putting your trust in Domestic & General who have been providing breakdown cover for over fifty years.
