Frequently Asked Questions

Appliance Cover Questions

Is there a number I can call to buy my appliance cover?

Not everyone prefers to buy online and that’s absolutely fine! If you’d rather speak to someone to set up your appliance cover, just give our friendly inbound sales team a call on 0800 652 6789. Lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm, and Saturdays and Bank Holidays 10am–1pm.

When will I receive my welcome documents?

If you’ve chosen email, your agreement letter should arrive within 5–10 minutes of completing your sign-up. If you’ve opted for post, you should receive it the next working day, depending on Royal Mail delivery times.

What happens when my cover is up for renewal?

When your cover is due for renewal, we’ll send you a reminder via your chosen contact method (email or post). If you’re happy to continue, there’s nothing you need to do – your cover will renew automatically.

Is there an excess?

No – we offer unlimited call-outs with no excess fees.

Is my appliance too old?

Not at all! As long as your appliance is in working order, we’ll cover it – no matter its age.

Are there restrictions on the appliances I can add?
Unlike most companies, we don’t place many restrictions on what you can add to your plan. The age, make, or model doesn’t matter – if it breaks down, your Home Appliance Guard policy has you covered.
Please note: we’re unable to cover appliances used for commercial purposes.
When does my cover start?

A 28-day exclusion period will apply in the first 12 months of your plan before you can request any services, unless you have provided evidence of previous cover in which case we can waive this. You’ll find the official start date in your terms and conditions, included in your welcome pack.

How long does my cover last?

Your cover will last as long as you continue to pay or until you cancel.

How do I renew my cover?

It couldn’t be easier – your cover automatically renews with each payment, so there’s nothing you need to do. We’ll be in touch ahead of your renewal date to keep you informed.

How do I pay?

If you buy online then we only currently offer the ability to pay monthly via Direct Debit. However, when you are live, if you wanted to change this then please contact us as we can offer annual or quarterly payments via Direct Debit or even via card. Give us a call if you would like to discuss this further.

What payment system is used to renew my cover? Are my details safe?
Yes — whether you pay by Direct Debit or card, your details are secure. Direct Debit payments are handled securely by our trusted partner, Bottomline, and you are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee. If you pay by card, your details are tokenised at the point of entry by our PCI-compliant payment partner. This means we never store your full card details, so you can rest easy knowing your information is protected.
I’ve lost my cover documents, where can I obtain a copy?

No problem! Just let us know via our form fill on the Contact Us page or call our Helpdesk on Freephone 0800 652 6789, and we’ll be happy to email or post a copy to you.

How do I change my details?

We understand that things change! If you need to update your bank details, address, or anything else related to your cover,  Just let us know via our form fill on the contact us page or contact our Helpdesk on Freephone 0800 652 6789.

Appliance Repair Questions

What happens if the part needed to repair my appliance is no longer available or the appliance can’t be fixed?

If we’re unable to repair your appliance due to unavailable parts or any other reason, we’ll replace it with one of the same or similar specification at no cost.

What if I want to upgrade my appliance instead of receiving a replacement?

We’ll offer a free option, and if you’d prefer a like-for-like or upgrade to a higher-spec model, you can simply pay the difference in cost.

Do I have to pay for parts and labour?

No – all parts and labour are included in your cover.

Can I request a repair more than once?

With Home Appliance Guard cover, there are no restrictions on how many times you can request a repair.

How do I request a repair?
