Boiler Servicing
Regular maintenance can help prevent a system breakdown which can be expensive and never welcome.
It is a manufacturers requirement that the boiler is serviced annually to validate the boiler in guarantee period (if applicable). A quality boiler service will prolong the lifespan of your boiler by ensuring that your current system is operating to peak performance. The service will also help to prevent carbon monoxide leaks.

Prevention is better than cure, so pipe lagging is essential. The best time to fit your pipe insulation is before winter sets in.
Two common questions are: ‘Is it ok to turn off the boiler in summer?’ and ‘Do you leave a combi-boiler on all the time?’ Once the weather has warmed up, you can turn your boiler off. If you have a combi-boiler, you simply need to switch it to hot water only. But to prevent problems when winter returns, it’s a good idea to switch your boiler on once a month for 15 minutes during the summer.
Boilers don’t run properly when the pressure is too low. The right boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar. This is easy to check as there is a dial on the front of your boiler. If you need to adjust it, find out how to check the water pressure in this video.
As time goes by, sludge builds up in your boiler’s system which naturally affects its efficiency. You can have it deep cleaned by a professional with Powerflush. This will clear all the muck and debris from the pipes and radiators so you get maximum heat at a lower cost. It also helps extend the life of your boiler
Boilers, like people, like to be looked after. Give yours an annual boiler service and in return it might last longer and work more efficiently, saving you money and worry. It’s vital that you always use a Gas Safe Registered Engineer for your boiler service, who will not only check the basic safety of your boiler but will also carry out performance tests and repair anything that needs fixing. If you need help with any of the above, contact us today for free advice.
Serious boiler problems can often develop from minor faults. An annual service will increase the chance that these are picked up on quickly and fixed before they can exacerbate, saving you money and hassle down the line.
The engineer who undertakes your annual boiler service will make sure that it’s running as efficiently as possible. This will go a long way towards keeping that energy bill low.
Boilers that aren’t properly installed, maintained or ventilated can produce carbon monoxide. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, drowsiness, nausea, breathlessness and stomach pain and these symptoms can be often confused with tiredness or a cold. Unfortunately this silent killer can’t be seen or smelled, so it really is important to make sure your boiler is serviced at least once a year and ensure it’s safe to use.
Don’t take chances
The harshness of the weather in recent years has brought annual boiler servicing to the top of our pre-winter to-do list
Whether it’s heating or hot water, boilers are at the heart of the modern home. Yet most of us forget about our boilers until they start causing us trouble. It’s best to find a fully qualified heating engineer when it comes to boiler servicing. Keeping your boiler in top condition offers a number of benefits.
Boiler Fault?
Boiler problems are a common issue every year around autumn. Some residents are lucky enough to get away with some minor troubleshooting, like when an extra load is placed on the boiler due to central heating.
Those of us who are familiar with common boiler faults and how to fix them often save money because there’s no requirement to call in a gas engineer. However, there are some common boiler faults which do require the services of qualified gas engineers because they can have a huge effect on your central heating’s performance. These are listed alongside.
There could be a number of reasons for a leaking boiler. Too much water pressure, overheated water, a crack in one of the cast iron sections … all are very common boiler faults which can play havoc with central heating systems and which require the services of a qualified engineer to address.
If the boiler is losing pressure, then there may be a leak in the central heating system. The common place to lose water is through the valve on the radiator.
Water heating is the main function of a boiler and it affects everything, from warming up that living room to making sure those plates get washed. There can be a number of reasons for this very common boiler fault and our gas engineers can take care of any one of them.
This is also a common boiler fault and it should always be corrected by a qualified gas engineer.
Boilers are made of different components and any one can play a part in the malfunction of a central heating system. If you need a team to provide a fix, Safe Gas are available to take care of it.
This is another common boiler fault that tends to occur in colder-than-normal winters. It’s when the condensate in the pipe – which travels through the outer wall to the outer drain – freezes. A douse of hot water can usually remedy the issue but if this doesn’t work, contact our team at Safe Gas and we’ll get the problem sorted.
This can be due to imescale build-up in the heat exchanger, thereby causing the boiler to rumble. Noisy / gurgling / rumbling central heating pipes are also a result of limescale build-up in the pipes or air within the system. For a check-up, speak to our team today.
