Appliance Care Plan FAQs

What is the Appliance Care Plan?

A smarter alternative to insurance – designed to keep your appliances in great shape!

Our Care Plan helps you look after and maintain all your home appliances, from kitchen appliances to home tech. It includes maintenance, repairs, and replacements, along with an annual health check (either in person or virtual) and expert support to keep all your appliances in good working order.

How can I purchase a care plan?

We offer an easy way for you to purchase online at any time – currently, we provide monthly payments via Direct Debit (please contact us if you wish to pay annually or quarterly via Direct Debit). However, we understand you may prefer to speak to one of our friendly sales advisors, based in our lovely offices in the sunny coastal town of Bournemouth. Just give us a call on 0800 888 6666 – we’re here Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and Saturdays and Bank Holidays, 10am to 4pm.

Is my home appliance too old to be included in a plan?

We don’t place age limits on appliances – as long as your appliance is in good working order, it will be covered.

What if my appliance can’t be repaired?

Whether it’s your washing machine, TV, hairdryer or sound system, if any of your home appliances cannot be repaired or is beyond economical repair, we will look to replace it free of charge.

Can I upgrade my appliance if it can’t be repaired?

Yes. If you want to upgrade to a higher spec, you can just pay the difference in cost between the current appliance and the higher-spec appliance.

My appliance is already broken – can I still get cover for it?

Yes! With our Repair & Care option, you can add cover for an appliance with a pre-existing fault for just £6 extra per month. We’ll arrange a repair straight away, and your care plan will still include all our usual great benefits.

What happens when my Appliance Care Plan is up for renewal?

When your care plan 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.

What payment system do you use and are my details safe?

Yes – whether you pay by Direct Debit or card, your details are secure.
