I don't go for extended warranties but always had a boiler care plan - really don't like the thought of shivering in the freezing cold if the heating blows up...

It's a lot cheaper and just as effective to just get it serviced annually at the start of winter. If you get it serviced the chance of it breaking down that year is pretty minimal. I'd only pay for a boiler plan if it was a seriously old and ropey boiler, and liable to conk out randomly.
Don't just take my word for it though:

The alternative is to have a boiler servicing contract with a service included. You pay a monthly fee that also covers repairs. However, our research shows that for nine out of 10 Which? members this was more expensive than paying for one offs.
