As part of an annual boiler servicing our gas safe registered engineer will carry out a number of different actions to ensure that your heating system is operating safely and efficiently. Firstly we will inspect the system and its controls to make sure that everything is working correctly. This includes examining the casing and making sure it’s securely fitted. The boiler itself will also be checked for signs of corrosive damage and any leaks. We then make sure that the electrics are in good working order. Inspections will be carried out on the gas pressure to ensure that it’s at the right level. The flue gasses will also be checked to ensure that the boiler is operating cleanly and efficiently with no unsafe emissions such as carbon monoxide. Our experts will also fire up the boiler to check for any working faults.

A boiler service would normally last around 30 to 45 minutes but the time will vary depending on the brand and model. Afterwards, our operative will give you a service report, explaining what we have checked/inspected and any repairs that are necessary.

Finding leaks and dripping pipes are quite common when we service older boilers. In most circumstances boiler leaks are caused by corrosion in pipes or in the water tank which wears down over time. Also common in older boilers is a kettling noise where a build-up of lime scale or sludge is found on the heat exchanger. this restricts water flow, which then overheats the water, causing it to steam and boil.

In many boilers, low pressure is also a common fault found when servicing. This can be caused by a leak or radiators that have recently been bled. It could also mean that the pressure relief valve needs to be replaced.

In most cases, our expert gas safe engineers are able to carry out quick repairs so that you boiler is working efficiently again.
