What is boiler servicing?

Boiler servicing involves a heating engineer coming to your home at a prearranged time to service your boiler. A boiler service is where your plumber or heating engineer will check exhaust emissions and pressure along with other key components that maintain your boiler's efficiencies.

How often should you service your boiler?

Boiler servicing is recommended annually, as this is the industry standard for the maximum amount of time a boiler should be left before it is rechecked. You may leave it longer, but this is not recommended, and if your boiler is under warranty, leaving it too long could void any future claims.

Service report - Our service engineer will provide you with a service record that outlines what has been done and if there are any concerns or requirements for future improvement. Completing work in accordance with your service manual is often important for your warranties and the future sale of your Home.
