Many homeowners don’t realise the importance of their boiler, until problems occur. You can help prevent issues with your heating and hot water by ensuring that your boiler is serviced annually.
Although boiler servicing is often seen as an ‘unnecessary expense’, having your gas serviced regularly is important for three key reasons: Safety, reliability & efficiency. When booking a gas boiler service, always check that your engineer is registered gas safe.
The engineer will visually inspect the boiler, clean and adjust components as necessary, look for any signs of damage, and identify any signs of distress that are immediately visible.
Your boiler has a number of controls and safety devices that will be tested for correct operation. An engineer will check that all of the boiler functions are working correctly, should they be required.
The engineer will check the construction, termination and route of the flue (pipe from your boiler to the outside of your house). They will make sure there are no obstructions in the flue terminals and that the flue is safely fitted.
During a boiler service, the engineer will inspect and clean the main components in the boiler to ensure they are fit for purpose and have no noticeable defects. This will include the main burner, heat exchanger, flue ways, and ignition pins.
There are lots of tests to tick off during a boiler service checklist inspection. These include:
The engineer will undertake a series of tests and checks, making a record of each – this will include a record of the boiler pressure or heat input. As the homeowner, you’ll then be able to keep this information for future inspections or when problems arise.
