Best Boiler Warranty
When considering purchasing a new boiler, most people have a list of questions to be answered before you can make a decision. After all purchasing a new boiler is a big investment to make and unfortunately doesn’t tend to come at a convenient time. An important consideration when perusing new boilers is to find the best boiler warranty.
What is a boiler warranty?
Essentially boiler warranty means if your boiler breaks down during it’s warranty period the manufacture will send out an engineer to fix the problem at no extra cost.
What boilers have the longest warranty?
Typically the longer the boiler warranty the better quality the boiler. However, this will usually also mean the higher the boiler price. Therefore it is important to think about your circumstances and what you deem important for you. Perhaps if you plan to stay in your home for a couple of years you may be more price conscious rather than focusing on a long warranty. If you are planning to stay in your home long term, it maybe wiser to choose a boiler with a longer warranty.

How to keep my warranty valid?
Most manufactures require you to have an annual service in order to keep your boiler’s warranty valid. This is crucial to ensure that if something does go wrong you do not want to pay for the repair yourself.
Some manufacturers stipulate a powerflush must be done during an installation. This ensures the system is clean when your new boiler goes in thereby prolonging the boilers life.
Why does a magnetic filter need to be installed to extend the warranty?
Most manufacturers stipulate that a magnetic filter must be installed in order for you to benefit from any extended warranty. Magnetic filters help to protect your boiler from debris and limescale building up. A build up of debris in your heating system can wreck havoc if left. A magnetic filter will capture the corrosive particles before they can circulate through your heating system.
