So, what does a boiler service include?
A boiler service is a thorough check of your boiler and its components, carried out by a qualified heating engineer. The aim is to make sure your boiler is operating safely and efficiently, while identifying any potential problems before they become more serious.
There are a number of things that are usually checked during a boiler service. These include:
- Checking the boiler – Your engineer will inspect the boiler and its components to make sure everything is working correctly. They will also look for any signs of damage, corrosion or wear.
- Testing the flue – The boiler flue is checked to make sure it is secure and operating correctly. Your engineer will also carry out the necessary checks to ensure that harmful gases are being safely removed from your home.
- Checking the pressure – Boiler pressure will be checked to make sure it is at the correct level. If the pressure is too high or too low, your engineer can advise you on what needs to be done.
- Safety checks – A boiler service includes a range of safety checks to ensure the appliance is operating safely. This can help identify potential issues and give you peace of mind that your heating system is in good working order.
