- Whether you need additional services, like electrical cover.

Is HomeServe boiler cover worth it?
Whether boiler cover is worth it or not largely depends on your preference, budget and appliance.
When you’re considering this, it’s important that you weigh up both sides of the argument. Emergency boiler repairs can be expensive, costing an average of £410, while HomeServe cover starts at £10 per month*.
So, although your boiler may not need to be repaired regularly, you might be very happy you have cover should anything go wrong.
