When it comes to identifying and buying a new boiler for your home, it’s fair to say that there’s a large number of models and manufacturers to choose from on the current market.
The same principle applies to approved service providers and heating engineers, which is why we’re seeing a rising number of approved installer schemes that benefit both tradespeople and the market leading boiler brands.
Take the ATAG Select Partner scheme, for example, which has grown quickly and won the trust of the trade since its inception last year. But what is an ATAG Select Partner, and why should you care as a home-owner?
What’s an ATAG Select Partner?
If you’re an ATAG Select Partner, you’ve essentially been approved by the brand to install its premium boiler units.
To achieve this, you need to meet a number of different criteria and complete a detailed questionnaire, which seeks to confirm your accreditation and industry qualifications.
Unlike most suppliers, ATAG only sell boilers to the trade, so you must be a legally qualified Gas Safe-registered installer to join the scheme. You’ll need this level of accreditation just to buy spare parts for ATG units, so you won’t even be able to complete repairs without the necessary credentials.
In addition to being listed on the Gas Safe register and having completed the manufacturer’s application process in full, you must also have a visible business presence both on and offline. Without this, you may struggle to become an ATAG Select Partner and work with these market leading boiler units.
Why Should you Work with an ATAG Select Partner?
If you’re in the market for a brand new boiler and are keen on having an ATAG unit installed in your home, working with a select partner can afford you access to extended warranties.
This is significant, particularly as a select number of ATAG models already come with a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee. By working with an approved installer, you can extend this warranty further and reduce the long-term cost of repairing and servicing your unit.
ATAG also announce regular money-saving initiatives for members of the Select Partner scheme, the benefits of this are often passed onto paying customers.
These include a ‘2-Year Prize Freeze’ for approved installers, which guarantees competitive prices and reduces the cost of buying a new, A-rated boiler.
