How frequently should a boiler be serviced?
Most boiler owners understand that a boiler, like any major appliance, requires regular servicing and maintenance to ensure that it operates at maximum efficiency.
Some may think that this only applies if a boiler is old or if it is starting to malfunction, and may even recite the common saying: 'if it's not broken, don't fix it'.
However, standard boiler servicing checks are designed to pre-empt any faults and therefore do need to be carried out regularly to ensure that the unit continues to operate safely and effectively.
In short, a boiler service consists of cleaning and testing the boiler and its various operating parts and controls to ensure that no faults occur during operation. The question you may ask, though, is how frequently this service should be carried out. In accordance with most manufacturer guidelines, an annual boiler service is essential to ensure the unit's longevity.
As your boiler gets older, it may require more frequent servicing. One of the primary reasons for this is that deposits can accumulate in the boiler and central heating system over time. This could affect the operating efficiency of the boiler and ultimately result in higher gas bills. Installing a leak detector in close proximity to the boiler is recommended to ensure that any potentially hazardous leaks are detected early in the periods between servicing.
