What is a boiler service?
A regular boiler service is really important for making sure your boiler is operating efficiently and safely.
Our gas safe engineers are trained to the highest standards to effectively service your boiler and keep your home warm.
A boiler service involves a number of key checks. One of our gas safe registered engineers will visit your home to carry out the following:
Visual Inspection
Our engineers will carry out a full visual assessment of your boiler to check for signs of corrosion, leaks, and wear. We’ll also examine the boiler flame to ensure it complies with current safety and performance standards.
Internal Boiler Check
We remove the boiler casing to inspect key internal components such as the burner, spark probe, and heat exchanger. These parts are cleaned and checked to ensure everything is working correctly.
Flue and Ventilation Assessment
A vital part of the service includes checking the flue for blockages or obstructions and making sure it is securely and safely installed.
Boiler Controls Testing
We test all boiler controls and safety devices to ensure your heating system is operating smoothly and responding correctly.
System Pressure Check
We verify that your boiler is running at the recommended pressure for safe and efficient operation.
Full Operational Test
To complete the service, we run the boiler to check for any irregularities and confirm that your heating system is functioning as it should.
Why Should You Get Your Boiler Serviced?
Booking a boiler service with a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer offers several important benefits for your home and heating system. Regular servicing helps keep your boiler safe, efficient, and cost-effective, while also protecting your investment in the long run.
