Most people accept that they should have their boiler serviced every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. But when people get a new boiler, they often assume that the warranty that came with the boiler will cover them for everything they need. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.
Even with a warranty, you should have your boiler serviced. If you don’t, you could find yourself with an invalid warranty.
What’s included in a boiler service?
A boiler service includes such things as:
- A visual check.
- Checking the flue (both inside and out).
- Measuring the operating pressure/heat input.
- A safety check.
- Checking that seals are effective.
- Checking main parts to make sure they’re in good working order.
- Making sure the boiler fires safely.
- Carrying out any necessary cleaning.
- Providing a report showing what’s been done.
Whether you choose to organise and pay for your boiler service every year or you take out a plan that gives you year round peace of mind is up to you, but it’s really important to have your boiler serviced.
Things to look out for when you get your boiler serviced
When you choose who’s going to do your boiler service, make sure that they cover all the points listed above as a minimum. And make sure you get a report at the end – particularly if your boiler’s still under warranty.
If your boiler service highlights repairs that are needed, make sure you check your boiler warranty before you engage with the service provider. Again, a good boiler service provider will remind you to do this, but don’t get caught out by paying for repairs that might be covered under your warranty.
