The boiler has its own internal thermostat. If the boiler fires up every few minutes it is using gas but not heating your home. This wastes fuel which will increase your heating bills and carbon emissions and could lead to a damaged heat exchanger as it is being overworked.

Just like most boiler manufacturers, the guarantees you receive on a new Ideal boiler will range from 2 – 10 years. These guarantees are: No-quibble – You won't ever have to worry about the small print, or credit card charges for call-outs. 100% transferable – So if you move house, it can be transfered to the new owner.
Boiler warranties are designed to provide you with an added sense of peace of mind in knowing that your boiler is covered in the event of a breakdown or fault. If a fault or breakdown occurs with your boiler during its warranty period, the manufacturer should organise a repair or replacement.
Any appliances you register will then be automatically registered for their standard two year warranty. Within the first 28 days after purchasing your appliance you can extend your manufacturer's warranty from two years to five years directly with Bosch.
You should have your boiler serviced annually. Not only will this ensure it's running efficiently and safely for the year ahead, but it will also validate any manufacturer's warrantees you have on the appliance. Regular maintenance minimises the risk of breakdown and helps lengthen the lifespan of your boiler too.
Recently had a new boiler installed? It's unlikely you'll need boiler cover just yet. Your boiler should be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Double-check just to be on the safe side and see how long the warranty is for.

Repair your boiler and heatingOur expert engineers can fix your boiler and central heating for a fixed price.
The green light on a Worcester Bosch boiler typically indicates that the burner is operating properly, which is a good sign. However, sometimes the green light can go off, with the boiler still working fine.
There are many possible reasons why a boiler might lockout: flame sensor detector issue, blocked flue or condensate pipe, no or insufficient fuel supply, high or low boiler pressure.
The serial number can usually be found on the drop down panel on the front of the boiler. Some boilers have a tag underneath the boiler that slides out to reveal the serial number.
Tips for buying a new boiler
- Do your research.
- Find the right boiler type.
- Know the heating and hot water demands of your home.
- Pick a location for your boiler.
- Set a budget.
- Check the warranty.
- Find out if you're eligible for a grant.
- Choose your installer wisely.
With a boiler warranty, you're covered by the manufacturer for any repairs for a set period of time after installation. This warranty period tends to last between 1-10 years and, as a general rule of thumb, the longer the warranty, the more faith the manufacturer has in their boiler.
An average three or four bedroom house typically has around ten radiators and will usually require a small or medium combi boiler, for example 24-30 kW. A larger house with substantially more radiators or an en-suite bathroom will generally need one that is larger, typically 30-35 kW.
Worcester Bosch offer an extended warranty at no extra charge if you use an accredited installer. They have a wider range of boilers, including compact models that will fit into a kitchen cupboard. Worcester Bosch have been the 'Best Buy' winners with an overall rating of 92% for the last 6 years.
Well, the figure is going to range from 60% all the way up to 95% depending on the age and type of boiler. Any boilers manufactured today are going to be in the high 80s or low 90s, which are very efficient boilers. Anything under 85% is almost always going to be a non-condensing boiler and likely 15 years old or more.
