The house had to be leveled, AND the insurance company refused to pay the claim because the heater had not been serviced properly.

Do you have a link to an article or anything indicating that the insurance co would not pay? Do you know what insurance co it was? I'm interested because my wife works for a major insurer and indicated that would in fact be covered under most of their homeowner policies.
