Servicing + Breakdowns
To make sure you heating is safe and efficient you should have your boiler and/or fire serviced once a year. Un-serviced gas appliances can release dangerous carbon monoxide into your home which can be very serious. An annual gas boiler and fire service severely reduces the chances of this. Regular servicing also greatly reduces the risk of breakdown and prolongs the life of the appliance, both saving you money in the future.
During a routine service you can expect:
Gas Boiler:
Gas inlet and burner pressure checked
Cleaning of the electrodes to maintain the flame failure device
Visual inspection of the flue and boiler casing for leakage
Controls tested
Dust and dirt removed from the heat exchange unit
Written service report given to customer
Condensing Boiler:
Electronic flue analysis to compare combustion efficiency to manufacturers guidelines
Gas inlet pressure checked
Written service report given to customer
Gas Safe:
