Hometree boiler cover review
Newer challenger brand built around simpler plan wording.
Our verdict
Worth quoting alongside the big two, especially if your boiler is over ten years old.
Hometree positioned itself against the incumbents with plainer policy documents and fewer age restrictions on the boiler being covered. Plans run from boiler-only through to heating, plumbing and electrics, and the buying journey is one of the clearest online.
What we like
- More accommodating about older boilers than some rivals
- Readable policy documents with the exclusions up front
- Straightforward online sign-up and claim reporting
What to watch
- Coverage in remote areas depends on local engineer availability
- Smaller brand, so fewer years of renewal history to judge
- Check whether the annual service is included or an add-on
Before you buy
We don't publish prices, because boiler cover pricing depends on your boiler, your postcode, the excess you choose and whatever promotion is running that week. Get a quote directly from Hometree, then check three numbers: the monthly cost, the excess per claim, and the annual repair limit. Compare those against at least two other providers before committing.
