When should I service my boiler?

Your boiler is the heart of your home – it provides you and your household with hot water and welcoming warmth all year round. Servicing your boiler is one of the most important duties to undertake as a homeowner to avoid bigger problems and costs in the future.

It’s recommended that you service your boiler annually and here are the biggest reasons why.  

Keep Your Home Warm 

We’ve all experienced a boiler breakdown in our lives. Having no access to hot water or heat can prove extremely stressful, frustrating and even painful, especially in the midst of winter. Having your boiler serviced annually will prevent unforeseen catastrophe, and will ensure your boiler stays in working order all year long.  

Avoid Hefty Breakdown Bills 

Boilers don’t come cheap – they can be and are expensive pieces of equipment. That’s why you should do everything in your power to prevent needing a replacement. A Gas Safe engineer can fix minor issues during a boiler service, meaning they don’t develop into bigger, more costly problems in the months to come.  

Broken Boilers Put You and Your Family’s Life at Risk 

It’s no joke! A faulty boiler can cause deadly gas leaks, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning or explosions if left untreated. A quick service will ensure your boiler’s gas rates are correct and its emissions are safe. This quite literally saves lives. 

Keep your Warranty Intact  

If you’re a landlord, you’re responsible for servicing every boiler in your property portfolio. Should you fail to do so, you could face having your warranty voided causing unnecessary costs and stress. We register all installations ourselves and send you a reminder to book in your next annual service when it becomes due.

An annual service is well worth doing. It’ll save you needless hassle, money and potentially lives. So you can keep your home cosy and warm, and with peace of mind that your boiler is being kept in good working order.
