flag UK home insurance may deny claims if heat is turned off or temperatures drop too low, due to strict policy rules on heating and boiler age.

flag Households cutting winter heating costs may risk invalidating insurance if they turn off heat completely or fail to maintain minimum temperatures, as many UK policies now require consistent heating—even during short absences—to prevent frozen pipes. flag Over a third of boiler insurance plans exclude coverage for units older than 10 to 15 years, some limiting eligibility to boilers under nine years, and 83% include exclusion periods—typically 14 days—during which claims aren’t honored. flag Most policies require a 30-day active period and proof of recent servicing, with only half offering replacement boiler coverage. flag Experts urge checking policy terms, using smart thermostat anti-frost settings, and maintaining regular boiler maintenance to ensure protection.
