The Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors (APHC) is working with boiler manufacturer and APHC supplier member Worcester Bosch to host six free regional workshops, designed to update plumbing and heating contractors on the future of boiler maintenance. Also, APHC will be providing an overview of future developments relating to TrustMark, ECO, Green Deal, Competent Persons Schemes and Microgeneration Certification Schemes.
Following the rise in popularity of extended boiler warranties, Worcester Bosch will be highlighting a worrying trend towards consumers opting to not have their boilers serviced on a regular basis, as they appear to be taking the view that manufacturers will cover any potential issues under the warranty.
Worcester will be giving an insight into how boiler manufacturers are applying the terms and conditions of their warranties more stringently and how boiler servicing and preventative maintenance will evolve to incorporate the whole system in terms of balancing, water quality maintenance and the proactive replacement of wearable parts.
The workshops will be running between 9am and 12pm on the following dates and locations:
- 19 March – Midlands: Worcester Training Academy, Worcester Bosch, Cotswold Way, Warndon, Worcester, WR4 9SW
