Our Boiler Service Checks

Initial Visual Inspection

Before any technical checks begin, our Gas Safe engineers examine your boiler's external condition. We look for signs of wear, corrosion, or previous poor repairs. This initial assessment often reveals early warning signs that could prevent future breakdowns.

Gas Safety Checks

Your safety comes first. We test for gas leaks and measure gas pressure to ensure your boiler burns fuel correctly. Our engineers check gas rates and burner pressure, adjusting them if needed. Carbon monoxide levels are measured to confirm your boiler operates safely.

Component Testing 

Each part of your boiler needs individual attention. We examine the heat exchanger for cracks or blockages, test the pump's operation, and check all electrical connections. The fan, pressure relief valve, and condensate trap all undergo thorough testing. These checks help prevent unexpected breakdowns and maintain efficiency.

Water Quality Analysis

Recent British Standards make water testing mandatory during services. We analyse your system's water for proper chemical balance and check pH levels. This testing spots corrosion risks early and helps prevent sludge build-up that could damage your system.

Control System Verification

Your boiler's controls keep your home comfortable. We test thermostats, timers, and safety cut-off devices to ensure precise temperature control. Proper settings save money on heating bills while maintaining comfort.

Flue Inspection 

The flue carries dangerous gases away from your home. Our engineers check its condition and ensure proper ventilation. We verify all seals and connections remain secure and test that gases vent correctly.

System Pressure Assessment

Correct pressure keeps your heating working efficiently. We check pressure levels, look for leaks, and adjust settings if needed. This prevents both poor performance and potential damage to your system.

Final Performance Testing

After completing all checks, we test your boiler's overall performance. This includes checking heating and hot water output, measuring efficiency, and ensuring quiet operation. We record all findings and explain any recommendations clearly.

Advantages of servicing your boiler

Reduced energy costs

As your boiler increases in age, it will need to work much harder to heat your home. Regular service can slow down this process and keep your bills lower for longer along with delaying the need to replace your boiler for increased heating costs. 

Fewer repair costs 

A complex machine like a boiler needs to be maintained to keep it running at maximum efficiency. In addition to this, a well-maintained boiler has less chance of breakdown and less chance of needing to call out an engineer for repair work.

Increases boiler's lifespan

The upfront cost of a new boiler is a large and necessary expense as your boiler reaches the end of its life. Prolonging the life of your boiler is the best way to save money in the long term by delaying the need for a newer model.
