Boiler Servicing in Rainham Medway: Why Its Worth Booking Before Winter.
As the colder months approach, your boiler becomes one of the most important appliances in your home. The last thing you want is to wake up to no Heating or Hot Water on a freezing winter morning.
Booking your annual boiler service before winter helps to give you peace of mind when you need your Heating most.
Here's why its worth getting your boiler checked before the cold weather sets in.
Help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Your boiler works hard to keep your home warm and provide plenty of hot water. A service gives our engineer the opportunity to identify potential problems before they turn into a breakdown, which could save you the inconvenience and expense of an emergency repair.
Keep your boiler running efficiently
Regular servicing helps ensure your boiler is operating as it should. Any boiler installed in the last 10 years is a condensing boiler. These boilers should be at least 92% efficient, and with the cost of gas being so high, and no sign that the cost will come down any time soon, making sure your boiler and heating system are running as efficiently as possible can save you a significant amount money.
Protect your boiler warranty
The vast majority of boilers we install benefit from a 10 year parts and labour warranty, giving our customers peace of mind.
To keep your warranty active your boiler needs to be serviced annually. Missing a service could effect your warranty, and in the unlikely event your boiler fails, you would need to pay for any repairs.
What happens during a boiler service?
A boiler service is more than just a quick check. Our engineer carries out a series of important checks to help make sure your boiler is safe, working correctly and ready for the colder months.
During a service our engineer will carry out a series of important checks to help ensure your boiler is operating safely and efficiently, and will continue to keep you and yours warm.
Visual Inspection:
We check your boiler, visible pipework and surrounding area for signs of damage, leaks or wear.
Safety Checks:
We check that the boiler is installed correctly and operating safely, including checking that the flue and ventilation are working properly.
Gas Pressure and Performance:
We check that the boiler is receiving the correct gas pressure/flow rate for the output of the boiler.
Combustion Test:
We use a suitably calibrated flue gas analyser to test the flue gasses produced by the boiler to make sure the gas is being burned correctly and efficiently.
Internal Component Inspection:
Where required by the boiler manufacturer, we inspect and clean relevent internal components to help reduce the likelihood of an unwanted breakdown.
Controls and Safety Devices:
We check that the boiler starts, operates and responds to controls as intended.
Service Record and Advise:
Once the boiler service is completed, we provide an electronic service record that details work carried out, and if necessary, any issues identified along with any recommendations.
Every boiler is different, so the exact checks and maintenance carried out will depend on the make, model and manufacturers instructions.
