Boiler Service Late?

MissCellaneous

Hi, sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I had our new boiler installed last year on the 15th Oct, and I seem to have dropped the ball and haven't had it serviced yet I'm off on holiday for a week in a few days and don't think I'll be able to get it serviced before then.

If I don't get it done until after my hol, will I invalidate my 2 year warranty from Worcester Bosch? Is the specific date very important?

Thanks in advance, sorry if I'm being daft!

I called WB in July re. a problem on an 18 month old boiler. They asked if it had been serviced (it had) but did not ask for proof. The WB engineer that came out said they rarely ask for any proof. Just get it serviced when you can and don't worry.
I was very impressed by their free callout and parts under warranty.

A couple of weeks either way will make no difference at all.

Stop worrying and enjoy your holiday.

Thank you both, you've put my mind at rest I'll just make sure to book it in asap when I get back!

When you get it serviced, make sure they do more than just stick a probe in the flue. They may not have to open the combustion chamber, but the condensate trap must be cleaned, the expansion vessel checked, and I always recommend my clients to add an extra bottle of inhibitor at the first service for the sake of a few quid.
WB are very good when it comes to warranties, so don't worry on that part.
