Do boilers need servicing?
Regular servicing of your boiler is important not only for addressing current issues, but also for preventing future problems from arising. Proper maintenance can help keep your boiler running at optimal performance and efficiency levels for longer periods of time. Many boilers come with a standard warranty of five years, but some providers may offer warranties as long as 10 years. To ensure that your warranty remains valid, it's important to have your boiler serviced on a regular basis. When should you schedule a service for your new boiler?
How often should a boiler be serviced?
It's recommended to have your boiler serviced at least once a year, especially if it's a gas or oil model. This annual service provides an opportunity for a qualified heating engineer to inspect the unit and ensure that it's running as efficiently and safely as possible. Electric boilers may not require as much servicing, but it's still a good idea to have them checked from time to time for added peace of mind. If you are a landlord, it is a legal requirement to have the boilers and flue systems in your rental properties serviced annually. Make sure to schedule these services and, if needed, obtain a landlord's gas safety certificate in accordance with the law.
Can I service my boiler myself?
It's important to never attempt to repair a boiler on your own. If you suspect that your boiler may need a repair, it's essential to contact a Gas Safe registered heating engineer. These professionals are the only individuals legally allowed to work with gas appliances and can help ensure that your boiler is functioning properly and efficiently.
What if I don't service my boiler?
Failing to service your boiler regularly can have serious consequences. Neglecting to service your boiler can shorten its lifespan and increase the risk of safety issues for you, your family, and your home. An unserviced boiler may become less efficient, consume more energy, and have a higher risk of experiencing catastrophic failure. To avoid these issues, it's important to have your boiler serviced on a regular basis. This will help ensure that it's running smoothly and safely, and can potentially save you money on energy costs in the long run.
