Why do you need to book a boiler service in Canterbury and the surrounding areas?

Once a year, your boiler should be serviced. This not only guarantees that it will continue to function efficiently and securely for the next year, but it also validates any manufacturer's warranties you may have on your boiler. Regular boiler maintenance decreases the probability of a breakdown and increases the life of your boiler. 

Your family's safety and health are ensured by boiler services. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur in anyone who has fuel-burning equipment in their home. Most people are unaware they are being poisoned because this lethal gas has no odour, colour, or taste. An annual boiler service ensures that the fuel is used safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Having a running boiler during the winter months is crucial for the elderly, the fragile, and those with small children. While most people find a broken boiler unpleasant, for others, a lack of heat and hot water can have serious health and financial consequences. 

Everyone, not just homeowners, must keep their boilers in good working order. Landlords are required by law to obtain a gas safety certificate and ensure that their boilers operate safely. A boiler service is necessary once a year and is a relatively inexpensive item of maintenance to perform.

What is checked as part of our boiler services in Dover & the surrounding areas?

 Gas Pressure and gas flow

Correct gas pressure in your boiler is integral for the smooth operation of your boiler.

 The health of electrical connections

Electrical connections are checked for deterioration and are tested to make sure they are working correctly

 Flue

The flue within your boiler is responsible for moving gasses and hot air out outside. It's an extremely important part of your boiler system. During our service, this will be checked to make sure the balance of gas and air and is also checked for blockages.

 Condensate pipe

Condensate pipe can be a common call-out repair job. This part of the central heating system is responsible for removing the bi-product and is checked for any blockages or obstructions.

 Seals

Seals throughout your central heating system are checked for wear and tear to make sure that they are serving their purpose.

 Gas & Water pipework

Pipes are checked for wear and tear and for any signs of a leak. 

Along with the points listed above, all parts that are responsible for the smooth operation of your boiler are checked to ensure your boiler is performing at its best.


What will you notice after your boiler has been serviced?

 Less likely to breakdown

A well-serviced boiler is way less likely to break down. Boiler manufacturers are well aware of this fact and often do not cover boilers that have not been properly serviced due to the increased likelihood of a fault or breakdown occurring. But check out our boiler repairs today! 

 More efficient 

Boilers that have undergone regular servicing stay more efficient for longer. This means that your boiler doesn’t have to work as hard and reduces your carbon footprint and impact on the planet.

 Lower energy bills

Along with increased efficiency, boiler servicing can help stop your heating bills from creeping up as your boiler ages. Save money on your monthly bills with a regular boiler service.

 Prolonged life

A serviced boiler lasts longer! By keeping your boiler serviced, you can increase the lifespan of your boiler and postpone the cost of a new boiler.

When should my boiler be serviced?

Boilers must be maintained once a year, even if they come with a guarantee and insurance. If you are a landlord, you must service any gas appliances in your property whenever a new tenant moves in and provide them with a copy of a Gas Safe certificate. 

Also, getting your boiler serviced is the ideal time to schedule your service because it ensures that your boiler is ready for the winter season and has fewer chances of breaking down on you, especially when you need it the most. You must make sure to check that the heating specialist you hire to service your boiler is Gas Safe registered & VFR Gas, Plumbing & Heating is!
