Cover for an electric water heater

livsterlovster

I dont have a gas boiler only an electric emersion heater. I would like to get cover for it. It cost me £150 to have the thermostat replaced thsi year and a new one will be £600.
Do you know of any cover? Most only cover gas boilers

Thanks

Yes, I believe that Homeserve have policies available to cover emersion heaters and plumbing etc. But they don't appear to have the best reputation, so you should have a read through any online feedback and decide for yourself.

Your electricity supply company may also have policies available.

Emersion heaters are a very expensive way of heating water. If you use it all the time, the heating element can be prone to fail due to limescale build up. It is a bit like a giant kettle.

Have you looked into any grants that may be available to purchase a heating system upgrade.
