Why choose Failsafe?

Cost
A breakdown in your boiler or any other part of your heating system can lead to a huge expenditure on your part. Not only will a replacement boiler cost you several hundred pounds at least, but an emergency callout will undoubtedly land you with a hefty charge as well. The cost of services always seem to rocket skywards when you are most in need of them!

This does not even take into account the anxiety and inconvenience that a breakdown will create – all the time that you are finding a heating engineer, obtaining a quote and waiting for the repair or replacement to be carried out, you and your family will be without heating.

With Failsafe, you will be hit with no emergency callout charge and no hidden fees. Our qualified local service engineers will be round in less than 24 hours guaranteed to get you back up and running as soon as possible.

Efficiency
If left unchecked, your boiler can become inefficient, and the less efficiently your system works, the more money you are wasting on your heating bill.

Setting aside the economic cost of inefficiency, a boiler working at half its full capacity is also emitting twice as much CO2. As a boiler contributes to around 60 per cent of a home’s CO2 emissions, this is a considerable impact on the environment.

The only way to keep your boiler running nice and efficiently is to have regular checkups – with the Failsafe plan, we have you covered.

Safety
When a boiler burns fuel less efficiently, it begins to produce carbon monoxide (CO) – in small quantities at first, but growing more and more as the boiler ages and deteriorates. Unchecked, this build up of waste CO from your boiler can quickly become dangerous at any time of the year.

A household can be exposed to carbon monoxide without even realising it – CO is colourless, tasteless and scentless, so even when those in the house begin to feel ill, the symptoms are often attributed to flu.

With a Failsafe cover plan, our service engineers will assess your boiler to make sure there is no risk of CO poisoning in your home and do a comprehensive CO check as part of our regular service.
