The Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors (APHC) is working with Worcester Bosch to host six free regional workshops designed to update plumbing and heating contractors on the future of boiler maintenance, plus APHC will be providing an overview of future developments relating to TrustMark, ECO, Green Deal, Competent Persons Schemes and Microgeneration Certification Schemes.
The future of boiler maintenance and servicing
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 future of industry schemes
With a number of crucial developments and government announcements regarding TrustMark, ECO (Energy Company Obligation) and Microgeneration Certification Scheme, APHC’s Technical Services Manager will be giving an overview of what these developments mean for plumbing and heating contractors and what the future looks likes for industry schemes including Competent Person Schemes, Microgeneration Certification Scheme, TrustMark, Green Deal and ECO.
