Boiler Servicing

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why should I have my boiler serviced on a regular basis?

Your gas boiler needs to be serviced on a regular basis to keep your central heating system functioning well. If your boiler isn't performing as effectively as it should, your energy expenditures may rise. An annual boiler service will discover any faults and help you avoid costly breakdowns.

What’s involved in a boiler service?

A Gas Safe qualified engineer will visit your home at a pre-arranged time to inspect, test, and clean the major parts of your boiler during your boiler service. This ensures that everything within is working properly and safely and that the parts are performing their functions successfully. Your engineer will inspect the major components and detect any problems with your boiler's operation.

What are the main benefits of a boiler service?


Safety 

Any appliance that burns wood or fossil fuels (such as natural gas) can emit lethal carbon monoxide if it isn't working properly, your Gas Safe qualified engineer will inspect your boiler for carbon monoxide to keep your family safe. 

Keeps your warranty valid 

Your boiler must be maintained annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer as part of most warranties. Should your boiler break down, failure to do so could void your warranty, resulting in costly repair fees. 

Fewer Breakdowns

When you have your boiler serviced, all of the major components are evaluated for wear and tear and replaced as needed, just like when you get your car serviced. That means it'll be less likely to break down when you need it the most, which is especially important during the harsh winter months.

Efficiency 

A boiler that is well-maintained and serviced on a regular basis will run more effectively. This means you're consuming less energy and saving money.

How long does a boiler servicing take to complete?

Most boiler services only take around 30 minutes. They're simple to plan and execute, resulting in minimal disruption while providing the maximum benefit!

How often should I be getting my boiler serviced?

We recommend having your boiler serviced once a year. Having your boiler serviced every 12 months is critical to maintaining its health and ensuring that it is in good operating order.

Should I get my boiler fixed or replaced?

It is dependent on the state of your boiler. Repairing your boiler is, in most situations, the most cost-effective option to get your heating back up and running. If your boiler is old or in poor condition, you should replace it with a new boiler with current features to save money on your energy cost.

When is the best time to have my boiler serviced? 

We can service your boiler at any time of year that is convenient for you, and many people prefer to schedule a service when they first move in and then every 12 months thereafter, so the time of year will be determined by this. If this isn't possible, some homeowners choose to have their boiler serviced at the end of the summer. This is because we can make sure everything is in functioning order for winter, as well as clean and examine your boiler so it's ready for the upcoming colder season.
