Boiler Servicing and Repairs

There is no getting away from the fact that your boiler has to be serviced at least once a year so that it continues to work properly.

Servicing can help to avert any potential problems before they occur.

The best time to have your boiler serviced is in the summer or early autumn months when demand is lower. This will give you peace of mind that probably the most important piece of equipment in your home is in full working order and ready to serve you through the cold winter period.

What does a boiler service involve?

As well as dealing with any problems that you report and replacing any worn parts, the Gas Safe boiler engineer will carry out an internal and external inspection to check for visible damage to the boiler. If any damage is found then the relevant replacement or repair will be made and this will usually be charged outside the price of your boiler service charge.

Throughout the year you should never ignore any problems that arise with your boiler, even if your service is just a few months or even weeks away. If you notice any of the following then you should call your engineer immediately:

1. The temperature and pressure that the boiler normally operates under suddenly drops or changes drastically
2. The water level falls to an unusually low level
3. The low water cut off does not work properly when it is tested
4. There is a change in the temperature or pressure of the feed water
