We know
that servicing your boiler isn’t the most exciting thing to be spending your
money on, but the long lasting benefits that come with annual boiler checks are
worth every penny.
Would you
rather be paying for a quick and easy annual boiler servicing with our gas
engineers, or have to fix a boiler breakdown leaving you with a pricey bill?
Boiler servicing keeps you safe and sound
A faulty
boiler presents many hazards to you and your family. The main risk linked with
boilers is a carbon monoxide leak. Known as ‘The Silent Killer’, carbon monoxide
is a colourless, odourless gas that is poisonous when breathed in. With no way
of knowing you are breathing it in, it is incredibly dangerous and can be fatal
if you are exposed to it for long enough.
To reduce
the risk of this, our gas engineers check for any potential leaks or weak spots
where CO may escape from and rectify any problems- reducing this hazard. For
further peace of mind, we recommend a carbon monoxide alarm being placed near
your boiler to catch any leaks quickly.
On top of
carbon monoxide leaks, faulty boilers can also create fires or explosions
within your home. These happen more frequently than you may think and are
especially common amongst non-serviced boilers.
Boiler servicing keeps you warranty/guarantee valid
A lot of new boilers now come with a ten year guarantee/warranty. These are great, but make sure you read the small print to see if boiler servicing is required to keep it valid. With a lot of guarantees/warranties, if you do not service your boiler every twelve months, you may void it- leaving you no financial help if your boiler breaks down or requires expensive repairs.
Annual boiler saving lowers your bills
During an
annual servicing, our gas engineers check for any worn out parts that are not
working as well as they once did. When these parts have been replaced, your
boiler can begin to work at its full potential again; becoming much more
efficient.
An
efficient boiler requires less energy to operate, meaning less energy is
getting wasted. By wasting less energy, you are also wasting less money. Not
only is this reducing your carbon footprint, you are also leaving yourself more
money to spend on the things that matter most to you.
Boiler servicing is cheaper than a new boiler
In an
annual check, our gas engineers can spot any small problems before they get
chance to escalate into something more severe. As a result, you will only have
to pay a small repair bill, rather than only discovering the problem when it
has caused your boiler to break down.
Not only
will this extend the lifespan of your boiler, it also saves you money long
term.
