1. Safety of anyone who enters your property
Clearly – the highest priority and so number one on our list is safety! All gas appliances need to be safety checked and serviced at least once a year for the safety and well-being of you, your family, and anyone else entering your home. The main concern is the danger of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
“A faulty boiler can be incredibly dangerous with 250 hospitalisations a year the result of non-fire-related carbon monoxide poisoning between 2001 and 2010 in England & Wales.” – British Gas
During the service of a boiler our Gas Safe engineers will check to make sure that harmful gases are vented safely in accordance with safety regulations. If you are really asking yourself why you should get your boiler serviced then this is a clear and obvious top priority reason!
2. Keep your boiler lasting longer
Identifying – by regularly servicing your appliance – and then repairing small defects of your boiler early on will result in a longer lifespan of your boiler, as well as peace of mind that it will work when you need it to.
In addition to finding defects, the components inside the boiler need to be cleaned regularly to ensure it works both safely and efficiently – which is a standard part of the boiler service.
3. Save money on gas bills and repairs
Also, the early identification of defects and their repair will perhaps increase the lifespan of your boiler, and prevent you having to replace it if it is condemned.
4. Comply With Guarantees and Insurance
Likewise, if you have separate insurance for the boiler this may be a requirement. The service can then be recorded in the manufacturer’s manual.
5. Legal Requirement for Landlords
It is a legal requirement for landlords to have gas appliances safety checked and serviced every year by a qualified Gas Safe engineer – by law all gas appliances and flues need to be checked.
Of course if you are not a landlord and it is your home then the fact that there is a legal requirement for annual servicing of boilers for landlords makes it clear that it is strongly recommended for the safety of a home.
Hopefully this has answered the question ‘why you should get your boiler serviced’. You can find out more about what we do when we carry out a boiler service here.
