Boiler Services

Why do I need to maintain my boiler?

We advise that you have your boiler serviced annually. Not only will this ensure it’s running most efficiently but it will also validate any manufacturer’s warranties you have on the appliance. We suggest a boiler service once a year as a regular maintenance programme – this will keep any risk of breakdown to a minimum and will help to lengthen the life of your boiler. 

Regular servicing of your boiler ensures it is combusting fuel safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which can be a danger to anyone with a fuel-burning appliance in their home. The toxic gas is colourless and odourless so you will not see or smell it in the air.

For the elderly, vulnerable or those with young children, ensuring you have a working boiler is a must. While to most of us, the boiler breaking down is an inconvenience, for some, a lack of heating and hot water can have severe health and financial repercussions. Once that first cold period appears, so will the boiler breakdowns in lots of homes across the country. Our heating engineers will be inundated with calls to repair and replace systems. Thus it is good prevention to look after your boiler before any problems arise! There is nothing worse than having to sit in the cold or boiling a kettle to have a wash – anything you can do to prevent this is advisable…

Landlord Obligations to their Tenants

Landlords are obliged to have a gas safety certificate by law and must ensure their boilers are running safely. An annual boiler service is essential and a relatively inexpensive piece of maintenance to undergo each year. We also suggest that you have a CO2 alarm fitted.
