A boiler service is a planned check that helps keep the appliance safe, efficient and reliable. Knowing the signs it is due can help you avoid a mid-winter breakdown and keep any manufacturer warranty valid.
An annual service by an appropriately registered engineer helps catch faults early and, importantly, checks the appliance is burning safely. A poorly maintained gas appliance can produce carbon monoxide, which is why servicing should never be skipped or attempted by an unqualified person. Fit a working carbon monoxide alarm as an added precaution.
Most manufacturers recommend an annual service, and many require one to keep the warranty valid. Autumn is a popular time, before the heating is used heavily through winter.
Boiler servicing is regulated work. Confirm the person attending is registered for your appliance and check their registration on the official Gas Safe Register before booking. You can send a servicing enquiry through this site and an independent engineer covering Carlisle may be in touch.
