As colder months approach, your central heating system boiler will get more use. It is time for a boiler check-up if it isn’t working or it has been a while since the last service. A Gas Safe registered boiler specialist engineer should take a look at it.

An annual boiler service keeps your system running smoothly. There are several benefits, to boiler servicing every year. You’ll want to ensure that your boiler is maintained for the long run. But why have a central heating system service annually? Here are some of the benefits:

Saving money on your heating bills

An annual boiler service could mean improvements to the overall efficiency of your system. The longer a boiler goes without seeing a service engineer, the less efficient it will become. Ageing parts (and older technologies) do have higher running costs year-on-year. When an engineer carries out even minor adjustments to improve your system’s overall efficiency, they save money on your heating bills. Less wasted energy is more money in your pocket.

Ensuring the safety of your boiler

Depending on your type of boiler, the risks of a carbon monoxide leak and other safety hazards increase as the time between services increases. A Gas Safe registered engineer can carry out annual safety checks to eliminate potential risks. Landlords must fulfil their legal requirements by carrying out annual inspections. Have peace of mind from knowing that your boiler operates safely. Don’t put people in danger.

Avoiding a broken-down boiler

You want your heating and hot water to work when you need them most. Regular servicing is essential so that heating and hot water don’t suddenly stop working. Allow an engineer to look after your boiler to identify general wear and tear before developing any serious problems. Don’t suffer from a complete boiler breakdown. Prevent spending on major boiler repairs and avoid a boiler replacement.

Preserving your warranty

It is common for major manufacturers to include an annual service check as one of the terms of your guarantee. Keep to the required regular service schedule that keeps the warranty valid. If you have had your boiler replaced, it doesn’t mean that a service isn’t needed. Depending on the system type and warranty, checking the terms that keep your contract valid is worthwhile.
