Do You Need a Worcester Bosch Specialist?
No. Any Gas Safe registered engineer can legally service a Worcester Bosch boiler. However, using a Worcester Bosch Accredited Installer (WAI) has advantages: they have brand-specific training, carry Worcester Bosch parts, and services by accredited installers can extend the manufacturer guarantee on newer boilers.
Worcester Bosch Guarantee and Annual Servicing
Worcester Bosch offers up to 10 years guarantee on selected models including the Greenstar 4000 and 8000 ranges, but only under specific conditions:
- The boiler must be installed by an Accredited Installer
- It must be serviced every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- The service must be recorded in the boiler logbook
Miss even one annual service and the extended guarantee may be invalidated.
