Safety
There are many reasons why you should service your Boiler, the most important being safety. Servicing your boiler regularly will help to keep it running safely and smoothly. A faulty boiler can be extremely dangerous, on occasion emitting harmful, odourless Carbon Monoxide gas into your home.
During your boiler service, a Gas Safe registered engineer will perform a series of checks for potential leaks or issues, allowing you the peace of mind that comes from protecting your family.
Maintaining Your Warranty
Depending on the manufacturer, your boiler can hold a warranty of up to 10 years. Often a stipulation of the warranty’s validity is to service your boiler regularly. During your boilers guarantee period if you do not have an annual service, your warranty could be void, if an issue occurs you could be held liable to pay the repair costs.
Spot Faults early
The engineer completing your boiler service will perform a series of checks during your service and are often able to pinpoint potential issues that could result in larger, more costly problems down the line. The engineer can identify and potentially fix any problems on site before it’s too late.
The winter months are the busiest time of year for Heating Engineers, therefore identifying faults early may prevent your boiler from breaking down in the months that you need it most. You may want to consider having your boiler serviced in summer, thus giving your boiler every chance of making it through the winter months without issue.
Prolong Your Boilers Lifespan
The average lifespan of a boiler is between 10-15 years and replacing a boiler is costly. In order to maintain/extend this lifespan, having your boiler serviced regularly is key. A healthy, efficient boiler that is serviced annually can prolong the life of your boiler.
Save On Your Energy Bills
With the cost of living soaring in recent years, it is important to make savings where you can. During your boiler service the engineer will carry out a host of checks to make sure that your boiler is working efficiently. Over time, this can result in savings on your energy bills, as a more efficient boiler costs less to run.
The efficiency of your boiler can depend on its age and the type you have. If your boiler is older than 10 years, it might be worth considering a boiler replacement, upgrading to a more energy efficient model can further increase savings on energy bills.
