The importance of a regular boiler service

Having a boiler service once a year is important to check that your boiler is working effectively and safely. If the boiler service uncovers any faults or damage, it’s likely that you’ve been wasting money on your utility bills as your boiler hasn’t been working at full efficiency. It’s also essential that your boiler is serviced to check it’s safe as a faulty boiler could start leaking hazardous carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is an extremely dangerous and scentless gas, making it very difficult to determine if there has been a gas leak in your home. Having a Gas Safe registered engineers conduct a boiler service can help identify any potential issues with your boiler. It’s important to be aware of the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning & ensure you have the correct alarms fitted and tested.

The My Central Heating Boiler Service

At My Central Heating, all our engineers are Gas Safe registered and carry out hundreds of boiler services each year. Our engineers will start by testing your boilers settings to make sure everything is working correctly before comprehensively surveying for leaks and corrosion to the unit.

One we’ve surveyed your boiler, we will take off the case to inspect all the main components. At this stage, our engineers will check the pressure of boiler and test that dangerous fumes are not being produced.

At the final stage of our boiler service, our engineer will clean any parts that require it, before fitting the case back over your boiler. Once completed, you’ll receive a report on the work carried out and information about the safety of your boiler. If you have any questions our engineers will provide you with the necessary information and advice.
