Service Plan Contract (Version 1.1 – 13th January, 2022)

Your 12 month ‘Service Plan’ contract begins on the day you purchase your plan by signing up via Direct Debit.

Your ‘Service Plan’ contract lasts for 12 months from the day of contract commencement. Your plan will continue on a rolling one-month contract after the initial 12 month period has expired.

Cooling off: There is a 14 day cooling off period after purchasing your Service Plan. You will receive a full refund for any fees paid, minus any costs incurred to WarmZilla as a result of setting up your account. If your service is carried out within the cooling off period, then you will be required to pay the outstanding amount on the rest of your contract.

Cancellation If you wish to cancel your contract outside of the cooling off period, you will be required to pay the remaining balance in full. If you cancel your Direct Debit before your 12 month period has concluded, we will contact you to collect payment. If another Direct Debit is not set up or payment for the remainder of the contract is not received, we will retrieve the amount owed to WarmZilla through other means.

Missed payments: Any arrears in your account must be settled before you receive your annual service from WarmZilla. Any default of payment may incur an adminisatration charge of £25.

Price changes: Your monthly fee is fixed for the duration of your contract but WarmZilla reserve the right to increase your contract amount after the initial 12 month period. You will be notified in advance of any price changes.

Your Service Plan includes an annual service from a Gas Safe registered engineer employed on a sub-contracted basis by WarmZilla. After your boiler has been successfully serviced, you will be presented with a gas safety certificate.

Your Service Plan does not cover the repair or replacement of:

  • Your boiler
  • Your controls, flue or flue terminal
  • Your gas supply pipe
  • Your central heating system or radiators
  • Showers or taps

If your property is tenanted then you will require the Landlord Service Plan. Please ensure you select the correct plan when you sign up or your service may be delayed.

Arranging your service: WarmZilla will contact you to arrange your annual service approximately one month prior to your service due date.

First service: If your boiler has not been previously serviced by WarmZilla, then you will require a ‘First Service’. In periods of local or national high demand for our services (such as cold weather), we prioritise breakdowns and may need to delay your first service. After you have received your first service, we will conduct an annual service thereafter, on or close to your service date.

Attending your service: Your boiler and heating system will need to be accessible to the engineer attending to complete your service. There should be enough clearance around the boiler for the engineer to safely access equipment, if this is not the case, the engineer may need to reattend once safe access is available.

If there is any asbestos present at your property, we will be unable to carry out the service until you have provided WarmZilla with a “certificate of reoccupation” to prove that all asbestos has been removed from the property.

The customer will need to provide access to the property at the allocated time. Failure to provide access on the allotted service date (no show) will incur a cost of £50 to cover engineer travel time and costs.

Safety: Your annual service will only commence as long as it is safe for the engineer to do so, an alternative date to revisit will be arranged if your home is deemed unsafe to work in, this may incur an additional cost. An adult is required to be in attendance at the property during the engineer‘s visit.

Third Party Warranties: It is the customers responsibility to make sure that the warranty is not affected on any appliance covered by third party warranties. WarmZilla will not be liable if any work carried out on your system doesn’t comply with the manufacturer’s warranty.

Rental Properties: WarmZilla take no responsibility for any loss of rental income as a result of delayed services or delays to the issueing of Gas Safety Certificates.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the inspection dates are met, the company reserves the right to delay for reasons beyond the companies control i.e. adverse weather, terrorism, illness, pandemics, vehicle issues, supplier delays. The customer shall not hold the company responsible for any losses or expenses incurred.
