Boilers are essential appliances that keep your home warm and comfortable throughout the year. But like any other machine, they need regular maintenance and care to function properly and safely. That’s why you need boiler servicing from PlumbGas Stafford, the experts in boiler installation, repair and servicing.
Boiler servicing is an annual check-up of your boiler and its components by a qualified engineer. It ensures that your boiler is working efficiently and safely, and can help prevent breakdowns and costly repairs in the future. In this blog post, we will explain what boiler servicing includes, what are the benefits of boiler servicing, and how to book a boiler service with PlumbGas Stafford.
What Does Boiler Servicing Include?
A boiler service from PlumbGas Stafford is a comprehensive and thorough process that covers all aspects of your boiler’s operation and condition. It includes:
- A thorough inspection and cleaning of your boiler’s interior and parts. The engineer will remove any dust, debris or deposits that may affect your boiler’s performance or cause damage to its parts.
- A removal, inspection and cleaning of the main components, such as the main injector, heat exchanger, flue ways, ignition pins, spark and sensor probes. The engineer will check these components for any signs of wear and tear, corrosion or damage, and clean them to ensure they work properly.
- A check of your boiler’s controls and settings to make sure they are working properly. The engineer will test your boiler’s thermostat, timer, pressure gauge and other controls to ensure they are accurate and responsive.
- A check of your boiler’s gas pressure and flow to ensure they are within the recommended range. The engineer will use a special device to measure the gas pressure and flow at your boiler’s inlet and outlet pipes, and adjust them if needed.
- A check of your boiler’s flue and ventilation to ensure they are clear and safe. The engineer will inspect your boiler’s flue pipe and terminal for any blockages or damage, and make sure they are securely fitted and sealed. The engineer will also check that your boiler has adequate ventilation around it to prevent overheating or gas build-up.
- A check of your boiler’s seals and gaskets to detect any leaks or corrosion. The engineer will examine your boiler’s joints and connections for any signs of leakage or deterioration, and replace them if necessary.
- A test of your boiler’s emissions to ensure they meet the legal standards. The engineer will use a special device to measure the level of carbon monoxide and other harmful gases that your boiler produces, and make sure they are within the safe limits.
- A detailed report of all the work done on your boiler and any recommendations for improvement. The engineer will provide you with a written report that summarizes the results of the service, any issues found or fixed, any parts replaced or repaired, and any advice on how to maintain or improve your boiler’s efficiency and safety.
What Are the Benefits of Boiler Servicing?
Boiler servicing from PlumbGas Stafford can bring you many benefits, such as:
- Improving your boiler’s efficiency and performance, which can lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. A well-maintained boiler can use less gas and produce more heat than a poorly-maintained one, saving you money on your gas bills and helping you protect the environment.
- Extending your boiler’s lifespan and reducing the risk of breakdowns and repairs. A regular service can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems that could damage your boiler or cause it to stop working altogether. A serviced boiler can also last longer than an unserviced one, saving you the hassle and expense of replacing it sooner than expected.
- Ensuring your boiler’s safety and preventing potential hazards such as gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, fires or explosions. A faulty or neglected boiler can pose serious risks to you and your family’s health and safety. A service can detect any faults or defects that could cause gas leaks or carbon monoxide emissions, which are both odourless and colourless but can be fatal if inhaled. A service can also prevent any malfunctions that could cause fires or explosions due to overheating or gas build-up.
- Keeping your boiler’s warranty valid and complying with the manufacturer’s requirements. Most boilers come with a warranty that covers you for certain repairs or replacements within a certain period of time. However, most warranties require you to have your boiler serviced annually by a registered engineer to keep them valid. Failing to do so could void your warranty and leave you unprotected in case of a breakdown or fault.
- Meeting the legal obligations for landlords and tenants to have their boilers serviced annually. If you are a landlord or a tenant in a rented property with a gas appliance such as a boiler, you have a legal duty to have it serviced every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is to ensure that the appliance is safe for use by the tenants and complies with the Gas Safety Regulations 1998.
