When Should I Service My Gas Boiler?

It is advisable to have your boiler serviced once a year. It is best to have your boiler serviced in the summer months when it is not particularly in use.

This is because:

1. There are more Central Heating Engineers available to carryout this work at a good price.
2. When your boiler is not being used it is more likely to develop issues such as clogged or seized parts.
3. If you turn on your boiler in winter and it doesn’t work you will have to repair or replace which can be alot more costly.

Anything Else?

In addition to the important boiler service, it is strongly advised that you install a carbon monoxide detector in your home in close proximity to the boiler itself. Carbon monoxide kills around 30 people a year in the UK, and is completely taste and smell free. A Carbon monoxide detector will provide you with firm peace of mind concerning your safety, and may save your life.

Summary:
Not only is a regular, annual gas boiler service essential to ensure that any issues developing are discovered and dealt with quickly and efficiently at less inconvenience to yourself, it is also essential for safety, energy efficiency, and ensuring you get the most out of the life of your boiler.

 

Powerflush

A powerflush is simply the process of cleansing your central heating system to help it work more efficiently.
Water in central heating systems becomes contaminated with rust, sludge and other debris because of internal corrosion. Rust occurs in all central heating systems producing a black (iron oxide) sludge and, in hard water areas, lime scale builds up in combination boilers just like in your kettle causing a number of problems.
This corrosion circulating in your central heating system causes boiler noise problems, premature failures of heating system components and a reduction in system efficiency which increases your heating bills.
This is why central heating systems needs to be flushed and cleaned and the best solution is a powerflush.
