It's something people sometimes forget - but doing so could be costly
The founder of a Yorkshire boiler company has offered a simple piece of advice, which could save you thousands of pounds every year. Andy Kerr, founder of BOXT boilers in Leeds, said that not getting your boiler serviced on an annual basis could be costing you dearly.
They explain: "If you still have a remaining warranty on your boiler, make sure you’re getting it serviced every year in case you ever need to claim the warranty. Not having an annual service invalidates the warranty, meaning that if anything goes wrong, you’ll have to foot the bill."The best way to keep the costs of a service cheap is to have a full cover plan in place, which means that you do not have to worry about forgetting a service and accidentally invalidating your warranty.
"This costly expense can easily be avoided, and the best way to ensure that your boiler isn’t costing you more money than it should is by regularly servicing it. While one-off services may seem cheaper in the short term, with a boiler service or full cover plan, you get the peace of mind that your service will be arranged and the cost is covered by your monthly payments, and, depending on the type of cover plan you have, any necessary repairs could be covered too.
The experts at Boxt have also warned that failing to get an annual boiler service could even invalidate your home insurance. This means that, should something go wrong with your boiler - a gas leak, for example - your home insurance provider may be able to wriggle out of covering the cost of damages.
