What happens when a boiler gets serviced?
Boiler servicing should only be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer and should not be undertaken by anyone else. A boiler service entails checking and cleaning all of your boiler's major components. This includes double-checking that everything is safe and functioning properly and completing internal cleaning to eliminate the dust and debris that accumulates in every boiler reducing its efficiency.
How long will it take to complete a boiler service?
An expert professional can perform boiler services in a short amount of time if your boiler has no serious issues. You can expect your engineer to be at your house for 30-40 minutes for a thorough check of your boiler.
Why is boiler servicing so important?
- Safety: Routine maintenance reduces the possibility of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning by ensuring the safe operation of your boiler.
- Efficiency: By keeping your boiler in good working order, servicing lowers energy usage and your heating costs.
- Longevity: Servicing your boiler can prolong its life and prevent the need for expensive replacements by resolving small problems early on.
- Warranty: To keep your boiler warranty in effect and shield you from unforeseen repair expenses, many boiler warranties require yearly maintenance.
Can I service my boiler myself?
Only engineers with Gas Safe registration should service boilers. It might be risky and may breach your warranty to try to service your boiler yourself. Service must be left to licenced experts with the knowledge and tools necessary to complete the task safely and efficiently.

What are the signs that my boiler needs servicing?
Various indicators suggest your boiler may require maintenance, such as:
- Unusual sounds, like whistling or crashing

It's critical to get in touch with a licenced professional to inspect your boiler and suggest any necessary maintenance or repairs if you observe any of these symptoms.
Can boiler servicing reduce my energy bills?
