    How does 24|7 Home Rescue compare to British Gas HomeCare on price and what's included?

    When it comes to boiler cover comparison, the difference in price and what you get for it matters. British Gas HomeCare costs £22.00 per month and covers annual boiler service, boiler breakdown and central heating. For many homeowners that may not be enough when something goes wrong beyond the boiler itself. At just £18.49 per month, 24|7 Home Rescue covers all of that plus plumbing, drainage, home electrics, home security and pest control. Core protection, broader cover and lower price.

    What makes 24|7 Home Rescue Boiler Cover reliable?

    We’ve been regulated by the FCA since 2021 so, with our insurance products, you have greater levels of consumer protection and access to the Financial Ombudsman and Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

    What about Boiler Cover for Landlords?

    The main difference between Homeowner and Landlord boiler cover is that the Landlord cover includes our assistance in helping the Landlord in their legal requirement to maintain an annual Landlord Gas Safety Record.

    24|7 Home Rescue can provide this as part our Landlord products. All our engineers are Gas Safe registered and we can provide electronic copies of the certificates for your ease.

    What's the difference between Boiler Cover, Central Heating Cover & Home Cover?

    Different providers describe similar products in different ways. We have 3 main categories which we are explained below.

    • My Boiler includes cover for emergencies and breakdowns of the boiler, but also includes a non-insurance annual boiler service, in each 12-month agreement period. A boiler service can save you money by keeping your boiler running efficiently and reduce the likelihood of a breakdown in the future.
    • Our My Heating Policy includes protection for both the boiler and the central heating system. This also includes a boiler service in each 12-month agreement.
    • Lastly our My Home Plus policy includes all the elements above but also widens the cover to other non-heating-related problems. This includes plumbing and electrics (Home Cover), and plumbing, electrics, drainage, home security and pest control (Home Cover Plus).

    For full details of all our products, please view the product comparison pages and the associated terms and conditions.
