As we head into the warmer months, your boiler might be the last thing on your mind. With the heating switched off and longer, sunnier days ahead, it’s easy to forget about your boiler until the cold weather creeps back in. But neglecting your heating system over the summer can lead to unexpected breakdowns, costly repairs, and inefficiencies when you need it most. That’s where the Neater Heat Care Plan comes in!

Parts and labour are included for boilers under 10 years old. For boilers aged 10 to 15 years, we split the cost of parts 50/50 with you. For boilers over 15 years old, you pay for parts, and we cover the labour. Once an old part has been replaced, the new part is covered by the plan. Your engineer will talk this through at your welcome visit.

The Hidden Risks of Ignoring Your Boiler in Summer

Many homeowners assume their boiler can simply sit idle for months without any consequences. However, leaving your system unused for long periods can cause:

✅ Seized components – Parts like the pump and diverter valve can stick when not in use, leading to breakdowns when you turn the heating back on.

✅ Reduced efficiency – A poorly maintained boiler may use more energy, leading to higher bills when colder months return.

✅ Unexpected failures – A sudden restart after months of inactivity can put strain on the system, increasing the risk of faults.

✅ Higher repair costs – Small issues can escalate into major problems if left unchecked.

How the Neater Heat Care Plan Protects You

Our Neater Heat Care Plan is designed to give you peace of mind all year round. Here’s how it works:

✔️ Annual Servicing – We ensure your boiler is running efficiently, reducing the risk of breakdowns and keeping your energy bills low.

✔️ Priority Call-Outs – If you experience an issue, our customers on the Care Plan get fast-tracked support.
