A value-focused challenger known for cheap entry-level cover and low-excess options. Here's how its plans stack up — and the small print to read before you buy.
Home›Providers›24/7 Home Rescue
24/7 Home Rescue is a value-focused boiler and home-emergency provider that competes hard on price, with entry-level cover starting at around £4.49 a month and frequent promotional deals. It's a popular pick for homeowners on a budget and for landlords who want an affordable plan that bundles the annual gas safety certificate.
24/7 Home Rescue runs a tiered range, from boiler-only cover with no annual service up to comprehensive home cover. You can also choose your call-out excess, which is one of the main levers on your monthly price.
| Plan | What it covers | Annual service | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boiler Basic | Boiler & controls breakdown only | No | £4.49/mo |
| Boiler Care | Boiler & controls + annual service | Yes | £7.99/mo |
| Heating Care | Boiler + central heating (radiators & pipes) | Yes | indicative — check site |
| Home Care | Comprehensive — heating, plumbing, drains, electrics | Yes | indicative — check site |
Prices are indicative and last checked June 2026. Call-out excess can typically be set at £0, £45, £75 or £95 — a higher excess lowers your monthly price but costs more each time you claim. 24/7 Home Rescue runs frequent promotions, so the headline price you see may be a promo rate rather than the standard renewal price. Always confirm the current price, excess, exclusions and renewal terms on the provider's own website.
24/7 Home Rescue suits cost-conscious homeowners who want breakdown cover without paying British Gas prices. If your boiler is reasonably new and you're comfortable with a higher excess, Boiler Basic at around £4.49 a month is one of the lower entry prices on our panel — just remember it has no annual service, so you'll need to budget a service separately (worth roughly £60–£120).
If you'd rather keep the boiler maintained and avoid surprises, stepping up to Boiler Care (with a service) or one of the low-excess options can be better value over a year. The wider Heating Care and Home Care tiers make sense if you also want radiators, pipes, plumbing, drains or electrics covered — see our types of cover hub for how the levels differ.
Landlords are well catered for: the landlord plans can bundle the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), which is a legal requirement for rented homes. If that's you, read our landlord boiler cover guide alongside this review.
It is FCA-regulated insurance, which means it carries FSCS and Financial Ombudsman Service protection — unlike an unregulated service or maintenance plan. Confirm the current regulated status and underwriter in the policy documents on the provider's own site.
Boiler Basic is the entry tier at around £4.49 a month (indicative, last checked June 2026). It covers boiler and controls breakdown only and does not include an annual service. Prices vary with your chosen excess and any current promotion.
Yes. 24/7 Home Rescue applies a 30-day initial exclusion period, so you can't make a claim in the first month of cover. Always check the latest terms on the provider's website, as waiting periods and exclusions can change.
