Is a Boiler Service Plan Worth It? Here’s What You Need to Know
When your boiler breaks down in the middle of winter, the last thing you want to be thinking about is the cost. That’s where a boiler service plan comes in. These plans help spread the cost of maintenance and offer peace of mind when it matters most. But what do they actually include, and are they worth it?
Let’s take a look at how boiler annual service plans work and how KD Jones Heating Engineers can help you stay protected.
What is a boiler service plan?
A boiler service plan is a monthly or annual package that covers your annual boiler service, with some plans also including additional support such as boiler breakdown cover or discounted repairs. Think of it like a basic form of boiler insurance that helps you avoid unexpected bills.
At KD Jones, our loyalty scheme costs from just £10 per month and includes:
- Your annual service, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- 10% off all additional works, including call-outs, parts and labour
- Priority booking in the colder months in the event of a heating failure
It’s a simple, no-fuss way to keep your heating system in shape all year round.
Why should you consider a service plan?
Boilers work hard behind the scenes to keep your home warm and your water hot. But without regular care, even the best types of boilers can start to develop faults or lose efficiency.
A boiler annual service plan helps you:
- Stay compliant with manufacturer warranties
- Reduce the risk of sudden boiler breakdowns
- Catch small issues before they become big ones
- Keep your central heating system running efficiently
- Spread the cost over 12 months instead of paying a lump sum
It’s also worth noting that most boiler and central heating warranties require proof of an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer. With a plan in place, you never miss a service date.
What’s usually included?
Coverage can vary depending on the level of cover you choose. Some national providers offer complex packages that include emergency call-outs, parts, and even boiler replacement if yours cannot be repaired.
However, many of these packages come with caveats. There may be a limit on the number of call-outs, an upper limit on the cost of repairs, or strict definitions of what counts as an economic repair.
Our approach is different. We focus on providing a straightforward, affordable plan that does exactly what it says it will. Your boiler gets serviced once a year, you save money on any future work, and you skip the queue when demand is high.
Does it cover your whole heating system?
Some plans on the market include central heating cover for radiators, pipework, or thermostats. Others only cover the boiler itself. Make sure you understand what your plan includes before you sign up.
At KD Jones, we’re always happy to talk through your options and tailor a solution to suit your needs. If you want to extend your protection beyond the boiler, just ask.
Free in the first year? Not quite.
Some companies advertise a free boiler service in year one when you take out their cover. But in many cases, the cost is simply factored into the rest of the plan.
We believe in being transparent. Our loyalty scheme doesn’t rely on gimmicks. It’s priced to be fair, simple to understand, and genuinely useful.
