The single biggest way to avoid problems with your boiler breaking down in the middle of winter is to get it serviced annually. And the best time to book a boiler service with your Bath plumber is NOW!
Believe or not Bath plumbers do work in the summer and often you can pick up a good discount as they are not in such demand and can fit in your boiler service around their bigger installation jobs.
Why a Boiler Service is so important.
There are a number of good reasons to have your boiler serviced annually. Most important – is the boiler safe? Having your flue operation checked is essential to prevent dangerous gasses leaking into your home. Is the boiler working as efficiently as possible? A well tuned boiler will save you lots of money by keeping your gas bills low, especially the newer condensing boilers. Are there any faults showing up? If there are then this is a good time to get it fixed as a broken down boiler in a cold spell is no joke. Is the boiler under warranty? If so, most manufacturers will insist on annual servicing to keep the guarantee valid.
Furthermore it’s a really good idea to keep a record of the service history of your boiler, just like your car so if you ever sell your house you can show the new owner how well you’ve been looking after the heating system! It’s vital that anywork you have done is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure current regulations and safety levels are met.
