What Does Boiler servicing involve?

• Inspecting the safety devices of your boiler (including pressure relief valves).
• Checking the pipework and flue system condition, including pipes leading from the appliance to a chimney or flue pipe.
• Testing flue gases for carbon monoxide emissions using an approved testing device such as an electrical gas detector or CO meter (if fitted).
• Testing combustion air supply through combustion air opening or using a temporary opening in a fire-brick liner if no combustion air opening exists.
• Servicing can identify potential faults before they occur, allowing them to be fixed before they cause damage or injury to anyone using them (including pets).

 
It allows for a thorough inspection of all components within the system. This helps identify boiler repairs early on before they become more severe and costly to fix.

What Are The Main Reasons Behind A Boiler Service?

Having a boiler service allows for any issues with your system to be addressed immediately so that they don’t develop into something more severe down the line. For example, if your boiler was leaking water or gas, this could result in dangerous levels of carbon monoxide being released into your home, which could cause serious health problems if left unchecked for too long.

The engineer will check the controls on your boiler and make sure that they are working correctly. They will also check for any leaks in the system and make sure that everything is in good working order.

The engineer will also look at the flue pipes, which carry smoke from burning fuel out of the property, to ensure they are not blocked and check all safety features such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Any parts that require replacing will be replaced during this time, so you don’t have to worry about paying for them later down the line when something goes wrong with them!

Have You Considered Boiler Maintenance Packages?

Boiler maintenance will ensure that your boiler runs efficiently, saving you money on fuel bills and reducing your carbon footprint. It will also ensure no leaks or other problems with your boiler, meaning that you can rest assured that it won’t let you down when you need it most. Boiler servicing should be done every year to ensure that everything is working correctly and there aren’t any problems developing in the meantime.

Protecting your family and home – If your boiler isn’t serviced regularly, it could develop problems that could lead to a dangerous situation. This could mean anything from carbon monoxide leaks, inappropriate pressure levels or even failure of the heating elements themselves. These things can pose severe dangers to those exposed to them over a long period and, therefore, should be taken seriously by all homeowners.

Helping you save money on fuel bills – If your boiler isn’t performing as well as it should, it will consume more gas than necessary, which will mean higher fuel bills for you in the long run. By having regular service checks performed by a professional engineer, you can ensure that the performance of your boiler is optimal at all times.

Boiler servicing is also known as boiler maintenance, which involves making repairs and replacements before there are any significant problems with the boiler. A well-maintained boiler will require more minor repairs during its lifetime than one poorly maintained. A well-maintained boiler can save you money on energy bills because it will run more efficiently and at lower temperatures.

Safety – regular maintenance checks ensure that your boiler is safe to use and won’t cause any damage or risks to health or property should anything go wrong with it. Any problems found during servicing can be fixed before they become too severe and cause significant damage or accidents in your home.

Longer lifespan – if you have a new boiler installed, it’s essential that you have it regularly serviced to last correctly for as long as possible. Instead of replacing your boiler after just a few years, you could potentially have it for decades!
