Annual Boiler Services Explained.
An annual boiler service includes the following checks.
Your boiler is checked for safety
Whenever a product is burnt Ie. Gas or Oil in the case of boilers, Carbon Monoxide (CO) is produced. The amount of Carbon Monoxide, dubbed The Silent Killer by the Gas Safe Register (Formerly Corgi) depends on how efficiently your boiler is working. These levels are checked and adjusted, if necessary, during your service.
Your boiler is cleaned
The heat exchanger and condensate traps are checked and cleaned if necessary. Boilers that are dirty or not configured correctly affect the efficiency of your appliance, costing you money and also can contribute to high levels of Carbon Monoxide, risking your safety.
The physical condition of the boiler and system is checked
“A stitch in time saves nine” is never a true word spoken. Example: If your boiler has developed an un-seen leak, which is identified during an annual service, changing a washer costing a few pence is much more cost-effective than leaving the issue for it to worsen, causing structural damage to the appliance and potentially damage other expensive components costing hundreds. This is one of the main reasons that the UK’s leading boiler manufacturers such as Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi and Ideal insist on annual servicing.
