Boiler servicing saves cash!
Is your boiler forgotten and uncared for, toiling away in a cupboard or corner somewhere?
If that's true, then you're probably wasting ££££s on your gas bill whilst your boiler struggles to cope with the demands of heating your home and providing hot water, especially in winter when Jack Frost does his worst with the weather.
So isn't it about time you treated your boiler to a thorough, money saving service? Then call or e-mail us now to book your boiler service!
Why service a boiler?
Typically we take our boilers for granted. All year round they provide hot water and in the winter keep our homes warm.
But boilers are complicated machines working in a harsh environment. Igniters, gas burners, safety sensors and printed circuit boards have to cope with heat and the valves, pump and pipework deal with the usually toxic contents of your radiator water.
That's why servicing your boiler each year is important. Whether it's a basic safety check or a full, strip down service, your boiler needs care to keep it in peak condition.
So call or e-mail us now to book your boiler a 5 star pampering!
What's in a boiler ssrvice?
Your boiler gets a 5 star pampering with our full boiler service to bring it back to tip-top condition including:
- Safety check for gas leaks at your meter, pipework and boiler
- Improve the gas flame by cleaning dust and debris from the burner
- Check the ignition system, cleaning or adjusting the pilot light/electrode
- Improve heating efficiency by cleaning the main heat exchanger
- Test the flue gases to check on burner efficiency
- Adjust the gas rate to save gas and money
- Safety check that seals and gaskets are gas and water-tight
- Test for deadly carbon monoxide leaks from the boiler and flue
- Optionally, add a chemical inhibitor to the heating system to protect your boiler from rust attacks*
Can I save money on boiler servicing?
If your boiler is serviced regularly then you may not need a full service every year. Many boilers only need an interim service each year, with a major service every 5 years or so.
In between, a basic service with safety inspection and flue gas analysis may what you need to check your boiler is in good condition.
You'll still get a comprehensive safety check and flue gas test to check your boiler isn't wasting fuel, but you'll save ££££s on servicing bills.
Here's what we do in a basic boiler service:
- Check the meter, pipes and boiler for gas leaks
- Check seals and gaskets are gas and water-tight
- Test for deadly carbon monoxide leaks
- Check flue gases to test boiler efficiency and adjust if necssary
- Optionally, add a chemical inhibitor to the heating system to protect your boiler from rust attacks*

In a full strip-down service (typically every 5 years) we also:
- Clean the combustion chamber and check the baffles (if fitted)
- Replace combustion chamber seals
