Why your boiler may need a service

---

First of all, it is necessary to say that there are cases when your boiler must have a service. To clarify, if your heating appliance is under warranty, regular servicing is one of the conditions to have the warranty valid. Besides, under the law, if you are a landlord and have got a gas boiler, you must undertake its servicing annually.

This post is about why your boiler may need a service even if you are not a landlord and if your boiler is not under warranty. In short, it is all about your safety and saving money.

To lower your repair bills

With regular servicing, you may save hefty sums on your repair bills. For example, on average, a major boiler repair in London may cost from £400 to £700 and over, including labour. To compare, for servicing your boiler, you will pay just about £100–£120.

To clarify, a boiler service includes numerous checks and assessment of your overall unit health. Therefore, when servicing your boiler, an engineer will identify and fix minor issues before they grow major. Besides, regular boiler service may prevent many issues at all.

To lower your heating bills

Boiler efficiency drops over years. This is true even for electric appliances, but this is especially true for gas ones. If, for example, your unit efficiency declines by 10%, your heating bills rise by 10%. In other words, you overpay for your heating.

As a boiler service includes cleaning and settings adjustment, it may help your boiler efficiency stay at its top much longer. Or, in case of old boilers, may help restore their efficiency close to their initial tops. In other words, with annual boiler service, you may save a lot on your heating bills.

To keep your boiler safe for your family

You know, using a gas boiler is associated with risks of carbon monoxide poisoning and even gas exposure. When servicing your gas boiler annually, you will mitigate these risks. In other words, you will keep your heating appliance safe for your family.

To clarify, when servicing your boiler, an engineer not only checks the gas connection to detect leaks, if any. Also, he checks your CO detector to make sure it works correctly. As a result, you can be sure neither a gas leak nor carbon monoxide poisoning threatens your home and your family.
