Boiler warranty

Do almost all boiler brands only offer coverage/warranty for faulty parts? In other words, if a breakage occurs and it doesn't seem to be caused my a manufacturing error, will it simply not be covered? Or are there options to cover these issues, such as for when parts just wear down over time?

"Most manufactures warranties coVer parts and labour which means if your boiler breaks down due to a faulty part the manufacturer should fix the issue free of charge."

"The boiler warranty covers all parts contained within the boiler for the length of the warranty. It also includes labour and call out fees. As long as everything is fitted to the manufacturers requirements then everything will be fine"

"Yes all manufacturers offer some kind of Warranty , they all differ from manufacture to manufacture.
You’ll have been sent details when yours was registered with what they cover for your boiler.
You also need to have a boiler service each year to keep the warranty going, Sludge in your central heating system may cause the manufacture to decline repairing the boiler . If you read the documents or call they will advise you."

"Most manufacturers warranties only apply to the “white box on the wall”
Should the service engineer be “lucky enough” to find an installation defect they will quickly advise the call-out / repair is chargeable.
Warranty periods differ between both manufacturers and level of competence/loyalty from installation engineer."

"Most Boiler warranties cover all parts as long as the boiler is serviced annually by a gas safe registered engineer and paperwork to prove this has been done.
The manufactures have clauses in the warranty normally relating to water quality issues and neglect... Most state systems should be flushed on installation and magnetic filters fitted on the return pipe to the boiler.This must be cleaned every year. Poor servicing will also make warranty void."

"If a boiler part fails, it is covered by the manufacturers warranty, unless the issue is due to a poor installation. The most important procedure is a good system water flush removing corrosive debris and a magnetic filter on the return heating water. Also, the correct condense drain to remove condensation from the main heat exchanger during efficient modulation."

"Most manufacturers cover parts and labour. However if the boiler hasn't been installed to the manufacturers instructions or the issue is caused by poor water quality then I'm afraid they will not cover said boiler."
