You should have your boiler serviced once a year, so you keep on top of any issues before they turn into serious and costly repairs. Should you require a boiler service I will be able to assist you right from the start. As a fully qualified and Gas Safe registered engineer, I will ensure that your heating system is in perfect working order, all year round. Other reasons why you should have an annual service on your boiler are;
Safety
To make sure your family and home is safe from carbon monoxide and other possible dangers and risks associated with gas appliances.
Reliability
Like me, your boiler is really hard working so it really should have an annual health and safety check. This will not only help to avoid those dreaded breakdowns, but it’s also essential to maintain the boiler’s manufacturers warranty.
Efficiency
A boiler that is serviced annually will operate more efficiently and therefore help to reduce energy bills.
- Inspection of your boiler and controls

Unlike standard boiler servicing costs, major boiler servicing costs do tend to differ. The price often depends on the boiler age, it’s make and model, and whether any additional parts are found to be warn or defective and need replacing.
If you think your boiler needs a major service, it’s best to call or email me to request a bespoke price. On average most boiler manufacturers recommend a standard service once a year for 3 years, with a major service every 4th year thereafter, where the boiler is fully stripped down and associated gaskets, parts etc., are replaced, if needed.
