Introducing our new gas boiler servicing offering. Regular maintenance of your gas boiler is not just a recommendation, it’s a necessity to ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your home’s heating system. An annual service by a qualified Gas Safe engineer is crucial for the smooth running of your boiler.
Why should I get my boiler serviced?
Getting your boiler serviced regularly can identify potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or dangerous situations, such as carbon monoxide leaks. In addition, a well-maintained boiler operates more efficiently, which means lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Finally, regular servicing can extend the life of your boiler, delaying the need for an expensive replacement.
What is involved in a gas boiler service?
During a typical service, our engineer will conduct a thorough inspection of your boiler. This includes checking for leaks or damage. They will clean the boiler to remove dirt and debris that could hinder performance and carry out efficiency testing to optimize its operation. They will also perform safety checks to confirm that all safety mechanisms are functioning correctly.
How often should I get my gas boiler serviced?
We recommend a boiler service once a year. This is also often required to keep your boiler in warranty. This annual service is an opportunity for a qualified heating engineer to look over the unit and make sure it’s running safely and efficiently.
Is it a legal requirement to get my boiler serviced?
If you are the home owner, it’s not a legal requirement to have a boiler service. However, it’s an annual maintenance task that, if overlooked, could end up costing you more money in the long run. You don’t want to get to a position where the boiler fails and you need to pay for a costly replacement.
For landlords, having the boiler and flue system serviced annually in each of your rented properties, is a legal requirement. We can issue a landlord’s gas safety certificate in accordance with the law, if required.
Is a boiler service worth it?
In short, yes, it is. Not only will your boiler service keep it working safely, it will improve the efficiency of your boiler and central heating system as a whole. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your boiler is in top condition is invaluable, especially during the colder months when you rely on it the most. It’s a small investment that pays off in safety, savings, and comfort.
