What is a boiler service plan?
A boiler service plan lets you spread the cost of your annual boiler service by paying a manageable monthly fee, eliminating the need for a large one-off payment.
Beyond the routine service, some plans offer more extensive coverage, which can include key components of your central heating system.
This ensures that you’re not only protecting your boiler but also safeguarding the other vital parts of your home’s heating, offering peace of mind throughout the colder months.
