Does my home insurance cover my boiler?

The boiler in my house has been reliable for ages, but it’s getting up there in age. If I need to replace it, will my home insurance cover my boiler?

Good question. It depends on your home insurance policy’s details, but your home insurance might cover damage to your boiler, but only if it’s due to a covered peril.
Covered perils
vary from policy to policy, but these are some common examples:
  • Fire
  • Smoke
  • Windstorms
  • Vandalism
  • Falling objects
  • Hail
However, it sounds like you’re saying your boiler is older and may reach the end of its life on its own. In most cases, a
homeowners insurance
policy won’t cover a boiler if it breaks down due to regular wear and tear or age.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, reach out to your insurer or read your policy’s terms and conditions.
Depending on your policy’s details, you might decide to look for new homeowners insurance. If so,
