- You are not entitled to a replacement appliance under this plan, and we will not be responsible for any installation costs. Gas safety inspections carried out whilst the appliance is covered by the Heating plan (additional charges will be incurred unless included in the plan).
- Boilers which are deemed by us as beyond economical repair (where the repair cost is more than 80% of the initial cost price of the boiler) will not be repaired. The plan does not include the cost of replacement boiler. A quote will be provided to replace the boiler at a discounted rate.
- Central Heating & Plumbing pipework only covered if easily accessible. Does not cover costs incurred for finding leaks underfloor or inside the fabric of the building.
- On Plans which cover taps, the taps must be easily accessible and will be repaired or replaced with a tap of equal functionality. Designer taps, boiling water taps and filtered water taps are not covered.
- System cleansing (Power flushing) is not covered. Systems which are deemed by us to be contaminated will need to be treated accordingly and until evidence of this has been provided no further repairs will be carried out.
Additional Information:
- The appliance must be in working order to be accepted on the Heating Protection Plan. Where upon inspection the appliance requires a repair, commencement of cover will be at the discretion of the Technical Director.
- Acceptance onto the scheme cannot commence without the initial service and system inspection.
- No claims can be made for the 1st 30 days from commencement of the Plan.
- Where upon components for the appliance become obsolete and the appliance therefore requires replacement, a quotation will be given for a replacement appliance and system upgrade (where current legislation dictates) at reduced cost.
- Where the appliance has been replaced by our company, the plan will continue and can be renewed. Where the appliance has been replaced by a third party, the plan will cease. A new plan may be applied for, but the appliance and system must undergo the initial acceptance service and inspection.
- Where the system has been deemed as requiring power flushing, a quotation will be given at reduced cost. The Heating protection plan will not be renewed unless the system has been flushed in accordance with British Standards.
- Any repairs to the system which are not covered by the Plan will be given a quotation at reduced cost.
- All components replaced will be given a 12-month warranty from date of replacement except for consumable items.

Response times
We assign one of three categories to prioritise our work:
- Emergency, where there is no heating and/or hot water causing a medical risk to someone living in the property or an uncontainable boiler leak causing property damage. We aim to get an engineer to you the same day or the next day.
- Priority, where there is no heating and/or hot water or containable boiler leak not causing property damage. We aim to get an engineer to you within two days.
- Standard, which covers all other faults e.g. a dripping radiator. We aim to get an engineer to you within 3 days.
