What happens during your annual boiler service?

Initial Inspection

During a boiler servicing, your appointed boiler engineer will thoroughly look at the overall condition of your boiler to assess its functionality.

At H.D Heating & Plumbing Ltd we will inspect the most important aspect of the boiler and its controls: safety. The controls regulate the flow of water and fuel so it’s vital they are working and are safe to use. Our qualified engineers will also check for leaks and obvious faults with the outside of your boiler.

Under the Hood

Once we’ve checked the outside of the boiler, we will pop off the outer casing and look through the internal components.

Our Gas Safe engineers will carry out a gas pressure test to measure the pressure of your boiler and make sure it’s functioning at the right amount. Other tests we carry out include a flue test. This will check the CO and combustion ratio to ensure they are at a safe amount and not emitting an excess of carbon monoxide gas.

Clean Boiler

Lastly, we will clean any components of the boiler that need a tidy up and check for lime scale or debris.

Once everything is in order, we will pop the outer case back on the boiler and give one last check. Before we leave, we will provide all relevant information about the boiler servicing that you can keep for your own records.

How often should my boiler be serviced?

We recommend that you should get your boiler serviced annually to ensure it’s working properly. If your boiler is faulty, it could result in you wasting a lot of money as it may start to leak carbon monoxide. As the poisonous gas is colourless and scentless, it can be difficult to tell if your appliances start to leak – therefore, it’s incredibly important to get a Gas Safe Registered engineer to check them, which is why it is important to have a Gas Safe registered company to service your boiler.

Do I need a boiler service to protect my guarantee or warranty?

Yes, a lot of boiler manufacturers will request that you have a boiler service every year to validate either the guarantee or warranty. Regular servicing helps prevent issues and breakdowns by identifying and addressing potential problems early. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of major failures or damage to the boiler.
