It’s also important to remember that in order for your boiler warranty to remain valid you do need to ensure that it’s serviced annually. All of our boilers come with a manufacturer warranty so make sure that your always covered under the lifetime of that warranty by having it serviced annually.
It’s worth reminding that a faulty boiler can be extremely dangerous. According to government statistics, each year in the UK, around 4,000 people go to A&E with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning due to leaking boilers, 200 people are hospitalised and on average, 50 adults and children die.
