HomeServe Cover 8 covers a wide-range of problems, such as gas boiler breakdowns, burst pipes, blocked drains and faulty electrics.
You can claim as many times as you need and each claim has a £4,000 limit, unless it’s a boiler or central heating claim, where there’s no limit as long as your boiler isn’t Beyond Economical Repair (BER).
HomeServe has also added some extra features, for all new customers we’ll carry out a Boiler Health Check, so we can make sure your boiler is safe and that it can be covered.
And the best bit of all is, after 6 months, if your boiler is BER and less than 7 years old, we'll replace it for free. If it is older than 7 years old, we will source, replace and install a new boiler and all you'd have to do is pay for installation.
If you'd like to look at cover for different areas of your home, please select Home Cover & Services above.
When reference is made to ‘we’, ‘our’, ‘us’, and ‘we’re’ this refers to HomeServe Membership Limited.
Please see Product documents including T&C's for more details.
