Getting your boiler serviced

It is very important that you have every gas appliance in your home inspected every year. This means anything that uses main or bottled gas; your boiler, your cooker, gas fires or stand-alone heaters. This must be done by a Gas Safe registered heating engineer who is qualified to deal with these appliances.

Any problems with your gas appliances can be detected during this inspection and servicing can be rectified there and then. As it is the most complex gas appliance, your boiler is what needs the most attention. Boiler repairs can be very expensive if problems are not spotted early. It's easier and cheaper to replace a seal or adjust a setting than it would be to replace a heat exchanger because a little fault had been ignored for over a year.

Early correction of faults to save you money on your boiler repairs isn't the only thing your local Launceston heating engineers can prevent in their annual inspection. Problems with gas appliances can lead to other problems. Poorly maintained boilers are less efficient, costing you money on your heating bills year on year. Blocked or faulty ventilation can result in carbon monoxide leaks in your home - carbon monoxide is invisible, tasteless, and odourless but is very deadly.

Getting an annual service carried out by a fully qualified and registered Gas Safe heating engineer ensures that all your gas appliances are safe and working correctly. It will also save money in the long term, reducing your expenditure on boiler repairs and gas consumption.
