Gas boilers play a critical role in most properties and servicing them is often overlooked or feels like yet another expense for the home-owner, but without an annual service, boilers become less safe, more energy consuming and more likely to break down in the depths of winter when you need them the most.
Why should you get your boiler serviced ?
-
Safety
Getting your boiler serviced regularly will keep it running safely. A poorly installed and/or maintained gas boiler can become very dangerous. The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks is higher. -
Early detection of issues
Small problems can become big ones if left unattended. By ensuring your boiler is checked, cleaned and serviced every year, you help improve its reliability and minimize any future costly and annoying breakdowns/repairs. -
Efficiency and performance
Annual maintenance helps to keep your boiler in its optimal working condition and running efficiently which saves you money in the long run. -
Extending the life of your boiler
A well and regularly maintained boiler has a much better chance of lasting a long time at lower running costs than one that never gets checked -
Complying with manufacturer’s warranty
Not having your boiler serviced and cleaned can invalidate your warranty provided by the manufacturer meaning any faults are no longer covered by it.
At HVG, we recommend our customers to service their boilers every year. We carry out all our maintenance as per the instructions of the boiler manufacturer and the legal requirements set out by the Gasketelwet.
