Do I have to go with maker's approved engineer to keep warranty active?

[Showerman41]

3-year old boiler... will my 7-year warranty be affected if I switch the annual service to a plumber other than the installer? We're looking at another local small-business man who is on the Gas Safe list and 'ticks all the right boxes', but is not on the maker's list.

Your fine aslong as it a manufacturer warrenty

And he's qualified and your boiler gets serviced every year

Make sure you get a service sheet and/or the back of the book filled in.
Cheapest isn't always best!!
Why are you switching?

Benchmark service record usually in the back of the installation manual must be filled in when serviced by the Gas Safe engineer.

He hasn't actually said anything yet, but we suspect our present man may be preparing for retirement, and we want to be prepared

Thanks for the reassurance.

Check out local man via Gas safe register website.

Find by Location - Gas Safe Register

or if you know his name -

Find or check a Gas Safe registered business - Find or check a Gas Safe registered engineer in your area who can fit, fix and service your gas appliances..

At least that way you will be able to see the mugshot/piccy of him/her as well as the qualifications they hold.

Hope this helps,

What boiler is it?
Some require parts/more in depth service at certain intervals

Sorry for the delay - think this is the last post I've needed to catch up on...
The boiler is a Baxi EcoBlue 16, fitted in 2014.
