Time to get boiler cover before you end up in hot water
One in five households has suffered at least one boiler breakdown in the past 12 months, with the average repair costing a hefty £270.
New research from uSwitch.com reveals that for more than one in four, fixing the boiler cost more than £1,250.
While half of UK households say they would rely on savings to cover repairs, more than one in 10 would have to borrow on credit cards or via a bank loan to pay.
