Hi

I can probably guess the answer but just thought I would ask.

My wife & I bought our house 7 yrs ago. It had a converted standly cooker (burns oil).

We had some problems with it recently and got 2 seperate guys out to look at it and both were of the opinion that it was not worth fixing, better off to replace :(

Alas, with my wife being made redundant and me being the only one working, we do not have the money to pay for new burner plus labout (have some quotes already).

Q. Our home insurance is with Bank of Ireland. Does not know if our home insurance will cover replacement of a new oil burner? I am suspecting "no" i.e. our policy is not a maintenance contract with BOI so does not cover wear & tear.

Anyway, just thought I would ask.

Replies welcome, thanks in advance!!
 
Unless the damage was caused by a sudden insurable event then I think you know the answer. Have you checked out a second hand option or a green energy option where you might be able to apply for a grant?
