If you want your gas boiler to perform to its maximum potential, especially when the cold weather hits the UK, then an annual boiler service will help to keep it in tip-top condition. The condition of the boiler is assessed during the service to see if there is a potential problem just waiting to happen. Addressing a potential issue before it occurs can avoid any unnecessary boiler downtime when winter is upon us.
Therefore, don’t wait for the boiler to break down when a routine check-up can help identify a problem before it causes any costly inconvenience. Grabbing a potential problem early can avoid expensive repairs further down the line, as during the winter months, your home needs to remain warm and comfortable.
At least once a year is when you should always have your boiler serviced. As the colder months approach, many customers have their boilers serviced (as a precaution) well before an annual service is due. An ideal time is during the summer. Engineers are working flat out during the winter months, and that’s when their availability can be a problem! However, engineers’ availability opens up during the summer months, giving you maximum booking opportunities.
Planning ahead can bring you and your family peace of mind knowing your boiler has been checked and tested to see you through the winter months. Book one of serviceteam’s gas-registered engineers to service your boiler; they’ll ensure it’s running smoothly and safely
Don’t wait for the problem to escalate.
Don’t wait until your boiler breakdown; keep ahead of the game and have your boiler serviced to stand a chance of identifying a potential issue prior to a major breakdown. It can be tempting to put off maintaining your boiler if it appears to be functioning properly because you see no advantage. Even if your boiler is working properly, issues can and will develop over time. Waiting until your boiler fails will probably result in an expensive repair, more so than an annual boiler service cost.
Energy Costs.
Make sure your thermostats and TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) are all tuned to the appropriate temperatures for the time of year. Correctly functioning TRVs and thermostat settings can save on your energy bills. A few tips from our heating engineers will help to keep you warm without breaking the bank.
Keeping safe.
Another key benefit of an annual gas boiler service is that it makes your home safer because a leaking flue or insufficient combustion could cause hazardous fumes, such as carbon monoxide (CO), which is common with malfunctioning boilers. Despite being a toxic gas, carbon monoxide is particularly harmful because it is transparent and odourless. The ability to recognise the early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning and stop its discharge could save lives. An annual boiler service will identify any hazards before they become serious or even fatal. A carbon monoxide alarm isn’t just for rented properties or houses with multiple occupancies; it should be installed in every household!
You may have recently installed a new boiler and could be thinking, well, that’s it, nothing to worry about in the years ahead. Naturally, any new boiler will be covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee but be warned, to validate the guarantee, the manufacturer will insist it is serviced annually. Any lapse in the boiler’s service history could mean you are liable for the cost of any repairs!
Some advice regarding an annual boiler service:
Without an annual boiler, your boiler could be using more energy than necessary (higher energy bills), or there could be a carbon monoxide problem; either way, you want to save money and lives, although not in that order!
