5 Reasons to Service Your Boiler Every Year
Your boiler is a workhorse – providing hot water and heating for your home or business it’s easy to take it for granted as it works tirelessly in the background, until it goes wrong of course! That’s why it’s vital to keep on top of its maintenance and an annual service will ensure your boiler is in tip top condition for as long as possible. It can be easy to forget to schedule your boiler service so we do recommend setting a reminder to help ensure you don’t miss a service.
Here are 5 reasons you need to stick to an annual service for your boiler:
- Warranty – You could invalidate your boiler’s warranty if you fail to have it serviced every year. Servicing needs to be carried out by certified engineers who will be able to detect any issues, order replacement parts and ensure it is running safely.
- Legal Obligation – If you are a landlord you are required by law to ensure your gas appliances are checked by a certified Gas Safe engineer every year. The engineer will check all gas appliances and flues and ensure everything is safe.
- Save Money on Energy – A well maintained boiler will help save you money on your energy bills. During the service your engineer will carry out checks to make sure your boiler is running as efficiently as possible which will help reduce the running costs.
- Prolong the Life of your Boiler – Annual servicing will identify small issues. Your engineer will be able to repair problems before they cause major problems, saving you money on costly future repairs.
- Keep you and your Family Safe – Faulty boilers can be dangerous so getting your boiler serviced every year can help make sure there are no leaks or issues that could cause accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
It makes sense to schedule your boiler service in summer or autumn to make sure your boiler is in good shape for winter. The last thing you want is a breakdown just as the colder months arrive.
