Reasons To Get My Boiler Serviced Every Year

1. A boiler service can detect any gas leaks before they become a serious problem. Carbon monoxide poisoning due to a leaky boiler is extremely dangerous to health and can even be fatal. It is an odourless, invisible gas and can only be detected with a carbon monoxide detector. When I service a boiler this is one of the main things I will be checking for.

A boiler that is regularly serviced will run more efficiently. Why spend a lot of money on an energy efficient boiler and then waste money because it is not performing at its peak efficiency. This is bad, both for your wallet and for the environment.

Most boiler manufacturers stipulate that in order to maintain the warranty that comes with a new boiler it has to be serviced annually. Some boiler warranties can last for 7 years which is a long time. If your boiler breaks down within this time, the cost of new parts and labour can be very expensive. An annual service can be money well spent in this scenario.

Just like a car, a boiler that is serviced regularly will run better and last longer. By extending the life of your current boiler you will be postponing paying for a brand new boiler. This will give you more time to save up.

Landlords are legally obliged to get any gas boilers serviced annually.

No one wants a boiler breakdown in winter. A service in summer can cut down on costly repairs and a freezing cold house by pre-empting minor problems.

A boiler that is well maintained and running efficiently will be one less thing for you to worry about.
