It’s paying for the cover when you have to use it that will really make you sick.

2 - Buy a new boiler, with a guarantee

Before you write this off as the ramblings of unbalanced lunatics, firstly consider the price.
The average UK cost for a new boiler installation is around £3,000. The average monthly cost (assuming no deposit) will come in at around £40 per month (you can see what pay monthly boiler deals are available in your area, here), the same as your boiler cover outgoing – you can see where this is going.

But, the maximum period that you would ever pay for a new boiler over would be 10 years – although you’re likely to opt for much less than that even.
Boiler cover comes in at Number 2 on the ‘funniest outgoings’ list. 2nd only to the gym membership you used twice.
Compare that to your lifetime binge on incompetent boiler cover and not only have you saved about twelve grand but your new boiler will be covered under warranty - likely for a decade - whilst you’re reaping the rewards of being an infamous “new customer” (you’ve waited a long time for this) as your every need is catered to at the expense of those poor souls paying for boiler cover.
Spare a thought for those guys. You’ve been there.
