Electric boiler don’t require the same amount of servicing but we would still recommend inspection regularly by a qualified professional.
If you are a landlord, there is a legal requirement to service your boilers at least once a year. You should also consider the installation of a carbon monoxide detector.
A gas boiler must be serviced by a qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer. Check out our certification here. An oil boiler must be serviced by a qualified OFTEC registered engineer. Do not attempt to fix boiler issues yourself, it can be dangerous. See below for some things you can do to keep your boiler in good shape.
In the UK, boilers are required most and work hardest in the winter months. This means that, if they are going to fail, they are most likely to do so when you need them the most. Therefore it makes sense to book a boiler service in the lead up to the winter months but, if it has been nearly a year since your last service, then you should arrange one immediately.
The exact process will vary depending on the type of boiler. The process generally starts with the engineer inspecting the appliance for evidence of leakage and corrosion. The engineer will inspect the frame before removing the front of the boiler to inspect its internal components. If necessary, they will clean inside the boiler.
The flue terminals will be checked for blockage and, for gas boilers, the gas pressure will be checked.
A normal service takes between 30 and 45 minutes however is a boiler is difficult to access or has not been serviced for some time, it may take longer. If a fault is found it will obviously take additional time to fix.
Turn on your heating in the summer. If a heating system is left idle for too long it may seize up. To prevent this, simply fire up your boiler for 15 minutes every couple of weeks.
Insulate your pipes. Insulation will mean your boiler doesn’t have to work as hard to heat the home or your water. If it doesn’t have to work as hard it will consequently last longer without the need for repair. Lagging your pipes will also save you money.
