FAQs & Help

Information & frequently asked questions on our boilers, parts & controls.

  • Does my boiler warranty cover my system?

    No, the manufacturer’s warranty only covers manufacturing issues with the appliance. If there are any problems with your system, such as radiators or pipework, you should contact the installer who fitted the boiler system. Alternatively, you can arrange system cover to run alongside your warranty. We offer this, as well as other protection plans. To find out more contact our Customer Service Department on 01482 498660.
