When you invest in a new boiler, you want to be sure it’s protected for as long as possible. Most modern boilers come with a manufacturer’s warranty, but homeowners are often unsure about the conditions required to keep it valid. A common question is whether having a boiler service is necessary to maintain your warranty, or if you can leave it until a problem arises.
Why Boiler Servicing Protects Your Warranty
In almost all cases, manufacturers require your boiler to be serviced annually in order to keep the warranty valid. Skipping a service can mean your warranty is void, leaving you responsible for the full cost of repairs or replacement if something goes wrong.
Servicing demonstrates that your boiler has been regularly maintained by a qualified engineer. This not only protects your warranty but also ensures the system is safe, efficient, and less likely to break down.
What Happens During a Boiler Service
A boiler service involves a series of checks and tests to confirm your system is working safely and efficiently. A Gas Safe registered engineer will:
- Inspect internal components for wear or damage.
- Check the flue and ventilation for safety.
- Test boiler pressure and controls.
- Clean essential parts to keep performance high.
These steps help identify small issues before they turn into major faults, saving you time, money, and inconvenience.
The Cost of Missing a Service
If you don’t service your boiler within the required timeframe, your warranty can be cancelled by the manufacturer. This means that if an expensive component fails, you would have to pay the full cost of repair or replacement yourself. For many homeowners, the cost of an annual service is far less than the potential price of replacing a boiler part without warranty cover.
Added Benefits Beyond Warranty
Keeping your warranty valid is just one advantage of regular servicing. Annual maintenance also improves energy efficiency, reduces your energy bills, and extends the lifespan of your boiler. It gives peace of mind that your heating system is safe, particularly during the colder months when you rely on it most.
