The Importance of a Boiler Service
A regular boiler service ensures the boiler is combusting fuel safely and efficiently. For the vulnerable, ensuring you have a working boiler is a must for the months ahead.
Furthermore, boiler servicing is one of those things that’s often overlooked. Too many people don’t have their boilers checked on a regular basis. Whether you’re busy and forget to book your service, or you’re not really convinced that it’s necessary, here are some reasons why you might want to give your plumber a call.
“If you service your boiler it will not only last longer, but it will reduce the risk of a breakdown”
(1) You can catch boiler
problems early…
It’s easy to forget that you don’t only use your boiler during Winter. You use hot water all year round, so therefore everyday your boiler could be running into issues. You might just notice them more when Winter comes around.
If you have your boiler serviced annually your engineer will be able to identify any problems and address them before they do any damage. Problems with your boiler, no matter how small they may be, will only get worse the longer you ignore them. You don’t want to leave your boiler to its own devices all summer and let it break down when you turn the heating on in November.
(2) It’s cheaper than
replacing your boiler…
Did you know that servicing your boiler cost less than you think, and it definitely costs less than replacing your boiler entirely.
Regular checks and maintenance will keep your boiler running properly, and because you’ll be able to fix any issues right away, your boiler will be less likely to break down later on. A healthy and well-maintained boiler will most likely last longer than a boiler that hasn’t been serviced, therefore saving you money on needing to buy a new boiler
(3) You can keep your
boiler safe…
Not only will servicing your boiler ensure that it’s running efficiently, it’ll also ensure that it’s running safely, for instance.
According to the Department of Health, 4000 people go to A&E each year with carbon monoxide poisoning, and because the symptoms (headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapsing and a loss of consciousness) can easily be assumed to be due to other common illnesses. It is therefore crucial that you have your boiler checked on a regular basis. Furthermore, servicing your boiler can give you peace of mind that your family are safe – or it’ll let you know that you need to carry out repairs before a faulty boiler seriously affects your health.
