What does a boiler service entail?

Boiler servicing companies have different ideas and criteria regarding activities that should be carried out during boiler services.

The majority of engineers provide a thorough service that could extend as far as taking your entire boiler apart, as well as cleaning and testing the parts before re-assembling the unit. At the opposite end of the scale, there are engineers who promise a boiler service, yet only carry out simple annual safety checks.

It's important to understand what correct boiler servicing entails in order to ensure that you receive adequate service at a reasonable price. During a correct service, particular emphasis is placed on testing all of the different functions for accurate and safe operation. In order to do so, thorough checking, cleaning and pre-emptive fault spotting must be done in order to achieve the best results.

Gas regulations are intended to ensure that servicing is done correctly. If you are suspicious of the engineer or the service being carried out, it is advised that you report it to the appropriate authorities. Even though your boiler may appear to be working well, faults could be hidden inside. Potential problems should be revealed during a boiler service. Annual boiler servicing is essential to detect faults before they occur, especially if your boiler is older than a year.
