Why Is Servicing My Boiler Important?

If you want your gas boiler to operate as efficiently as possible, you need to have it serviced annually. It is possible to prevent boiler breakdowns and identify underlying faults with an annual boiler service. Our gas boilers are the centre of our homes during the winter, so no one wants to wake up without heating or hot water.

At Green Flame Plumbing and Heating we make sure any boiler problems you face are solved by our Gas Safe registered engineers.

What makes it so important?

Boilers provide heat and hot water to your household on a daily basis, making them one of the most important household appliances. It's easy to underestimate its importance until something goes wrong.

The reasons for getting your boiler serviced include:

Your boiler service should be regularly done to ensure your health and safety

Every year, 4,000 people go to A&E because of carbon monoxide poisoning, according to the Department of Health and Social Care. Having your boiler serviced on a regular basis is essential because carbon monoxide does not have any colour, taste, odour, or irritation and cannot be detected easily.

You can save money by servicing your boiler

You should service your boiler regularly to make sure it operates efficiently. As a result, your gas bills will be kept down and your carbon footprint will be reduced. A boiler warranty usually expires after 12 months if it is not serviced. The cost of labour and materials will be your responsibility if your boiler does break down in this situation.

It can help you pick up on issues before they escalate

It can be inconvenient to have a faulty boiler in your home since it will leave you without heating and hot water. Boiler servicing is a necessity that should never be neglected. Putting your boiler under unnecessary strain may cause components to fail if you do not service it. By getting a regular boiler service, engineers can catch problems before they become serious.

One of our customers found this out when they moved house: "Booked James in to service a boiler in a home I just purchased. On inspection he seen the fan had blown on it. He was able to source a part, and fitted me in the same day to come back and fix it." (Noah, Google review)

It can help your boiler last longer

Keeping your boiler and heating system in good working order can help to extend the life of your equipment, reducing the need for costly replacements. Small problems, like a worn part, are found and put right during a service while they are still small, before they put strain on the rest of the boiler.
