Boiler servicing might seem like another unnecessary annual cost to worry about, but it's the best way to keep your boiler in great working order and thus keep your money and your family safe. There are more benefits though...
Regular boiler servicing keeps you and your family safe
Boilers that aren't serviced are at risk of leaking carbon monoxide (‘The Silent Killer’); a colourless, odourless gas that is deadly if breathed in. Worse yet, with carbon dioxide you have no way of knowing that you've breathed it in until you begin to feel the symptoms, which include nausea and dizziness. Whilst regular boiler servicing is the best way to avoid this happening, we also recommend installing a
CO2 alarm close to your boiler for extra peace of mind.
As well as gas
leaks, a boiler that isn't well maintained can potentially cause fires and explosions if faulty parts aren't identified and replaced. Whilst these may seem like worst case scenarios, they do happen and they tend to happen more regularly amongst non-serviced boilers.
To reduce the
risk of any problems happening with your boiler, our gas engineers check all components
thoroughly for leaks or weak spots to keep you and your family as safe as
possible.
Regular boiler servicing reduces your monthly bills
Over time, your
boiler naturally loses efficiently as parts wear down and
pipes block up with sludge and rust. This wastes a lot of energy, as your
boiler has to work much hard to heat your home and water.
During your
annual service, our gas engineers check for any worn out parts and replace them
where necessary to keep your boiler working to its maximum potential. This
means less energy is being wasted, saving you easy money on your energy
bills.
Regular boiler servicing increases its life span
As with
everything, the better you care for your boiler the longer it will last. Your
boiler is most likely one of the most expensive appliances in your household, so you
should care for it as best as you can. To avoid costly repairs or
unexpected breakdowns, your boiler should be serviced each year to catch any
small problems before they get chance to escalate.
A boiler that
is looked after correctly can last up to fifteen years so it is important you
get it serviced regularly to avoid having to replace it sooner than you should
need to!
