- Ensure your boiler is working efficiently and keeping energy costs low
- Dealing with any issues are dealt with earlier, saving you money on any future repair costs
- Thorough tests and inspections are carried out to help boost the overall performance the increases lifespan of your boiler as well as ensuring its safety
What's the easiest way to maintain a boiler?
Getting a regular professional boiler service from a Gas Safe heating engineer ensures that checks, tests and repairs are carried out to the highest standards and safety. It also means that any issues that are found during the tests can be resolved by an industry professional.
What happens during a boiler service?
During your boiler service our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out a boiler service, we make sure that your boiler is thoroughly tested and inspected. We also ensure that your boiler is functioning as close to 100% efficiency as possible and remove any build-up of dust and debris. Following the completion of all the necessary tests checks and inspections as long as the boiler meets our requirements, we will be happy to issue a Gas Safe certificate.
How often should I get my boiler serviced?
Boilers should be serviced at least once per year. Not only will this keep your warranty valid but it will ensure the safety of your house and keep your monthly bills lower. Furthermore, if you are a landlord, you are required by law to service any gas appliances in your property every year or whenever you have a new tenant. Please remember to keep yourself and your household safe all boiler servicing should be carried out by qualified Gas Safe registered engineers.
How long does it take to carry out?
We try to carry out our servicing promptly and aim to service your boiler within 30-40 minutes but this is entirely situation-dependent and if there are issues with your boiler it may take longer.
How Do I Know if My Boiler Is Economical?
When purchasing a new boiler or deciding whether you need one, the efficiency of the unit will play a significant role in your decision.
Look for boilers with an ENERGY STAR rating to find the most cost-effective option. A high-efficiency boiler should run very efficiently, whereas a low-efficiency model may be less expensive to replace in the long run.
When compared to older models, all modern boilers should be more cost effective.
Is a gas safety inspection the same thing as a boiler service?
No, a gas safety check is not the same as a gas boiler service. The gas safety check must be performed by a Gas Safe Registered engineer who will inspect your gas appliance and ensure that it is working properly and safely, and a Gas Safe certificate will be issued for you to keep.
