    If this is not available, the age of your boiler can also be determined by calling our Customer Service team on 01482 498 660. From here, you can quote the boiler serial number which can be found either underneath or on top of your boiler, depending on your specific appliance.

  • How often do I need to service my boiler?

    The answer to this depends on how your boiler is used. It does require servicing annually, which for the vast majority of installations is fine.

    A condensing boiler is a high-efficiency boiler which runs at a lower temperature than older, traditional-style boilers.
