To service or not to service?

At a time when your wallet/purse strings are being tugged pretty hard should you have your central heating boiler serviced?

Well the answer is a resounding YES ... and of course we would say that, it's what we do - well I might add!

But what you should know is that a serviced boiler will run more efficiently than an unserviced one, that means you'll spend less money on burning gas that you don't need (Prices set to rise again - BBC).

At an annual boiler service we will carry out the following checks:

  • Flue ways and terminals

  • Ventilation

  • Gas pressure and heat input

  • All safety devices
We also check the following boiler components:
  • Heat exchanger

  • Burners

  • Combustion fan

  • Seals (gas and water)

  • Ignition systems

  • Performance test (on all boilers with a suitable test point or accessible flue terminal)

  • All visible pipework and controls

  • All radiators

  • Expansion tank (and vessel) and associated components
And finally, we will give, where appropraite, advice on the use of your present controls more efficiently.

We can also help you consider the best options for your future heating requirements.

If you'd like to book a service give us a call on 01623 752097 to get a quote, or to arrange for an engineer to service your boiler.
