Annual Boiler Servicing Guide
Yearly boiler servicing protects safety, efficiency and your warranty.
An annual boiler service prevents most breakdowns and keeps your warranty valid. Here's what it includes and why it matters.
What's checked
A technician inspects and cleans key components, analyses combustion, checks gas pressure, tests safety devices, inspects the heat exchanger and condensate, and verifies correct operation.
Benefits
Servicing maintains efficiency, catches small faults before they become winter emergencies, and is required by most manufacturers to keep the warranty valid.
Key takeaways
- Service annually, ideally before winter
- Keep service records for your warranty
- Report any noises or faults to the technician
- Pair servicing with a magnetic filter check
