Boiler Servicing
An annual service helps your boiler run trouble free all year round. It also extends the life of your central heating and can ensure bills don’t spiral upwards. If you have a warranty on your boiler, a yearly service is usually required as part of the terms and conditions.
Book your service with us at Sharman Plumbing & Heating. Our engineers are Gas Safe registered and qualified to complete maintenance on all brands of boilers.
How Often Should You Service your Boiler?
The recommendation is that a boiler should be serviced once every 12 months. Gas can be dangerous, it can cause death or serious illness for occupants of a building. Gas can destroy or seriously damage property.
To make sure that the gas boiler in your home is safe to use, an annual check is strongly advised. Book a qualified engineer to inspect and maintain your boiler to give you peace of mind.
The Benefits of Regular Servicing
A service once a year brings a number of benefits. A service doesn’t take long but it gives you peace of mind.
Gas Safety: Natural gas powers most boilers, and it can produce carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and even deadly, so it is checked for with every boiler service.
Gas Leak: A close inspection of all joints during a service includes checking for leaks.
Less gas used: When boilers are not maintained properly, they become inefficient. An inefficient boiler uses more gas to heat water and run the central heating. You will see a rise in your gas bill and it is not good for the environment.
Wear and tear: All the components are inspected for signs of wear and tear. Any parts that should be replaced before a breakdown occurs will be pointed out. Repairs are planned so you have time to budget for them.
Fewer breakdowns: Regular servicing helps prevent unexpected breakdowns that could mean you’re without heating or hot water unexpectedly.
Warranty validity: Most warranties require a regular schedule of services to remain valid. Miss a service and you are no longer covered!
How Long Does a boiler Service Take?
An annual service usually takes around an hour to complete. At Sharman Plumbing & Heating, we closely inspect all components of your boiler including the flue, ventilation and controls.
We will remove the cover and take a look at your gas meter too. We do a thorough job, leaving nothing to chance. When the service is finished, we tidy everything away and provide you with a report of the condition. If we recommend any repairs, we explain what they are and how quickly they should be done.
Does your Boiler Breakdown Regularly?
If you have your boiler serviced annually, but it still keeps breaking down, then it might be time for a new boiler. When a gas boiler is more than 8 years old, it’s worth replacing if it is unreliable. The cost of a new boiler outweighs the inconvenience and worry of constant callouts.
Ask us about getting a replacement boiler if you’ve had enough of your old one.
