[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 185526, member: 6295"] Do make sure the insurer knows exactly what they're insuring, don't rely on a quote based on the pump value alone. It's worth talking to a broker rather than using comparison websites. Get them to ring the underwriters to check about the pump specifically. They should already know which companies won't be interested, saving you hassle. Just been through this exercise with my new pump in mind as renewal was due anyway. Some wouldn't cover it at all, or not in the first year. L&G would only cover it in the house :roll:. Some seemed to cover it as a specified item - but on checking specifically, they woudn't cover it. Aviva originally quoted £8 extra to renew my existing policy plus the pump. Finally chose Aviva through Home Direct. Got higher contents cover, accidental damage for all contents, free legal cover, pump fully covered including up to 60 days abroad, much lower excess and all for less than last year's premium :D [/QUOTE]
