Boilers can last for many years, but sometimes they break down and either need repairs or a replacement. Rather than having to find the money for such a large expense, you can take out boiler emergency cover to have your back in case of an emergency.
You can take out a policy for your boiler only, or you can include heating, electrical, plumbing and pest infestations for an all-round comprehensive package.
Prominence Support has been offering insurance services to its customers for the past thirty years. They have UK based call centres and a large network of engineers throughout the UK.
Their website is easy to navigate and you can find the details of their boiler cover by hovering over Home Emergency and then clicking into boiler cover. There are a number of useful guides on boiler and heating cover with answers to frequently asked questions.
