Something that many people seem to be concerned about, particularly when having owned their Bosch boiler for a number of years, is whether the unit is still under warranty and when their warranty runs out.
This is a fairly common query that many people seem to have which is why we are here to help. Having a boiler in perfect condition and under warranty is imperative to the overall safety and comfort of your home.
When your boiler is safely under warranty, you will then be able to rest assured that any unexpected breakdowns will be covered in the future.
What Is a Boiler Warranty?
The first thing that you should know when thinking about how you would know whether your boiler is still under warranty is what a warranty actually is and how it benefits you in both the short term and the long term.
When discussing your Bosch boiler, a warranty is fairly similar to insurance on a product. This means that you will buy a certain product from a retailer and they will be able to “cover you” and a range of different parts of your purchase for a specific amount of time.
When buying a product from Bosch, you will already be granted a guarantee without a warranty. But what are the differences between these two things?
What Is a Boiler Guarantee?
Something that must be established when tackling the issue of boiler warranties and what they entail is what a boiler guarantee is and how this differs from a warranty.
A guarantee is something that is given to you with your newly purchased product, no matter if you are purchasing a boiler, air conditioner or even a heat pump.
With a guarantee, you will be assured that your boiler will function properly for a very long time – and with our team, we will be able to make your boiler last even longer.
Main Differences Between A Guarantee and a Warranty?
One of the main differences between a warranty and a guarantee is that a guarantee is usually free and given to you when you purchase your new product. A warranty, on the other hand, is normally an added cost to the product, very similar to an insurance policy.
A guarantee is used as a general marker of quality for the product as it means that the seller has a high level of assurance and confidence in their product not breaking down in the time frame provided that they offer to fix your unit for no extra cost.
A warranty does protect you against breakdowns and general faults – however, it will be under a shorter time frame and will need to be renewed after the time frame has expired.
How Do I Know If My Boiler Is Under Warranty?
If you are currently concerned about the expiration of the warranty for your boiler then there are a number of ways in which you can check the length of time left on your warranty.
The main way that you can check is that the documentation you received from the manufacturer of your boiler should contain the length of time of your warranty within it. If so, then this will tell you when your warranty should be renewed next.
Conclusion
Coming to find that there is an issue with your boiler can be a troubling realisation, particularly if you are concerned about your warranty’s expiration. Luckily, there are a number of things that you can do to make sure that your boiler is completely protected by your warranty.
It is also important that you are aware of the key differences between a warranty and a guarantee as these both offer protection for faults with your boiler but operate in slightly different ways.
