Boiler Servicing for Gas Combi & Regular Boiler
It is a common attitude that it seems pointless to service anything in our throw-away culture, as some things appear cheaper to replace than repair.
Unfortunately, this rule does not apply to our gas boilers. This is due to a number of reasons; a gas boiler is often run every day in the home, and depending on the workload can wear faster than other appliances, simple faults in a gas boiler are easy and inexpensive to fix.
With these faults increasing if ignored and resulting in the need to replace the whole gas boiler at a large expense, most importantly, an under-maintained gas boiler could prove dangerous to you and your family.
When Should I Service My Gas Boiler?
The peak times for people to develop an issue with their heating and boiler is at the end of the summer months, when people turn on their gas boilers after months of inactivity. In these months, it is not uncommon for a gas boiler to develop issues with clogged or seized parts due to lack of use.
Because of this, it is recommended that you schedule a gas boiler service before the end of summer – through the months of February and October are the most quiet for boiler engineers. Not only are you more likely to get a better service and from an engineer at a time that suits you more this way, it is possible that you may also receive a discounted rate out of the peak months.
How Much Will It Cost?
A full service of your boiler will costs as little as £65 for a Gas boiler and £95 for an Oil boiler, prices may also vary depending on your location.
