Appliance Insurance/ Extended Warranty for household goods
B. Portwood & Co offer an extended
warranty policy to insure your home appliance
against mechanical and electrical defects. Our extended warranty
offers insurance for appliances from one to eight years old and can be
substantially cheaper than those offered by electrical stores.
New multi-appliance policy
We have just launched a new home
appliance insurance policy to provide an extended warranty
for up to five appliances at a fixed monthly cost of £9.99.
This appliance policy CAN be extended to cover plasma
televisions, LCD televisions, range cookers (not AGAs) and
American Style Fridge/ freezers as well as combined washer/
dryers. Articles must be less than £3000 when purchased and
be less than 8 years old. There is a £40 excess - but
protecting a plasma television for £11.04 a month (with up to
4 other items thrown in free) is exceptionally good value.
Full details can be found below. Please
note that different cover applies to the information on the
rest of this page - see Key
facts/ policy
wording for details |
