Do I need to get my boiler serviced annually?
Boiler servicing is an important part of maintaining your home’s heating system. It helps to
ensure your boiler is working properly and safely, and can prevent costly repairs or
replacements down the line. If you live in Mansfield or its surrounding areas and have a gas
boiler, it’s essential to get it serviced regularly by a qualified plumber. This will help you
avoid any potential problems with your boiler, as well as ensuring it’s running efficiently and
safely. Regular servicing also ensures that any minor issues are identified early on, so they
can be fixed before they become expensive problems.
Why is it important to get the boiler serviced?
An annual boiler service ensures your safety and makes sure that your boiler performs at its
best for as long as possible.
Finding faults
During a service the boiler is tested for the safety of the appliance. There are many
components within your boiler and they will each be individually checked. If one element
isn’t working as it should it could affect the whole system and lead to serious problems,
such as a carbon monoxide leak which is harmful if breathed in. As this is an odourless gas
you can’t easily detect any issues.
Extended lifespan
A regular service will prolong the life of your boiler. Any issues found can be corrected
before the problem becomes a bigger issue.
Energy efficiency
During the service your boiler will be tested to see how well it is performing, ie how energy
efficient it is. A well-maintained and regularly serviced boiler will work more efficiently over
time than a neglected boiler. The result is fuel savings and reduced energy bills.
Keeping the warranty valid
As part of any manufacturers warranty they usually require that you have the boiler serviced
annually to keep any warranty valid.
In Summary
Your annual boiler service isn’t something that you should miss or skip until a later date.
Whilst it might be tempting especially during the current financial crisis to put the service
off to save money, a service could save you more than the cost of the service. You must get
a Gas Safe engineer to carry out the service for you, it is crucial to get the inspection carried
out as close to the due date as possible. At Highfield Plumbing and Heating we can take care
of your annual boiler servicing in Mansfield, or install a new boiler or in the event of a boiler
breakdown undertake the repairs.
