Boiler Servicing

Boilers need to be regularly serviced to ensure all components are checked and working correctly – and most importantly that they are safe. An annual boiler maintenance service not only helps prevent potential issues but also ensures heating and hot water efficiency to keep energy bills as low as possible. Without a regular service your boiler warranty may be invalidated.

If your boiler hasn’t been regularly serviced or poorly maintained, it can produce carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a risk to health; it can cause death as well as other long term health problems. The main symptoms of CO poisoning are headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness & loss of consciousness. Other symptoms of CO poisoning are less obvious, and can appear as tiredness, flu or a viral infection. If symptoms only appear when you’re home it could be another indicator of CO poisoning.

During a boiler service, a fully qualified Gas Safe PDP engineer will:

• Inspect the boiler and controls to ensure it’s operating safely.
• Check the boiler for any leaks and corrosion.
• Test the flue to check for unsafe emissions from the boiler.
• Clean the boiler’s parts as required.
• Test your carbon monoxide alarm.
• Check the inhibitor levels AND system cleanliness (as per Part L of the Building Regulations that came into effect June 2022). Please click here for more information on water testing.
• Answer any questions you may have regarding your boiler.
