Are You In Danger of Invalidating Your Boiler Warranty?
Learn the one big mistake you must avoid if you hope to use your warranty coverage to solve a boiler problem
Given that a boiler is a big investment, it no doubt gives you great peace of mind to know your investment is protected by a warranty. But if you are making one very common mistake, you may be surprised to discover that your warranty may not be in place when you need it.
What is that mistake?
Not getting your annual boiler service.
It is very important to read all the fine print in your warranty agreement. You will probably find that you are actually required to get professional service for your boiler at set intervals. The typical interval is 12 months, but your manufacturer may require something different.
If you fail to get your professional boiler service as specified by the manufacturer, certain provisions of your warranty—or even the entire warranty—may be voided.
Why risk it?
Annual Boiler Maintenance is a Smart Investment
Perhaps the most common reason that people neglect their annual maintenance is that they do not want to incur the additional cost. However, annual boiler maintenance is actually a very cost-effective service.
Warranty considerations aside, annual maintenance can save you money in several ways:
Enhanced efficiency: One of the most important parts of the annual boiler service visit is the cleaning. If cleaning is not done regularly, the performance of the unit can decline significantly. Simply by getting regular cleanings, you can keep your boiler working at peak efficiency and avoid wasting money on excess fuel.
Cheaper repairs: Smaller repairs always cost less than big ones! During a routine maintenance visit, you will get a thorough inspection of the unit that will reveal small problems that may not yet have made themselves noticeable in service interruptions. By correcting these problems during the service visit, rather than waiting for them to grow into bigger problems, you can save money on repairs and promote the reliable operation of your boiler.
For example, one common problem seen in boilers is a loss of pressure. This is often caused by old or corroded washers. Rather than waiting for the washers to get so bad you actually lose pressure, you would be better off having them inspected during a service visit and proactively replaced.
Longer service life: By making repairs early and keeping your boiler clean, you can also promote a longer service life for the unit. Every year you use your boiler means you get more for the money spent on that initial investment.
