Boiler Servicing

Boiler Servicing provides several benefits, which include…

Breakdown Protection

Many of the Boiler Repairs we undertake are on neglected boilers.

This is usually because dirty Boilers have to work harder, so the working parts wear out quicker.

Servicing can also uncover issues you may not be aware of, such as incorrect settings that can be adjusted or a failing component that can be addressed before a breakdown happens.

Servicing your Boiler annually dramatically reduces the chance of issues or breakdowns.

Energy Efficiency

Boilers are fuel-burning appliances. As such, the internal components get dirty and require cleaning. Otherwise, your Boiler will have to work harder, costing more to run.

Servicing involves thoroughly cleaning the Boiler so it runs efficiently. In addition, the gas burner is tested and adjusted so the correct amount of gas is used without wastage.

Safety Tests

The engineer also tests the safety devices and the flue. The safety devices stop the Boiler in the event of a fault, preventing costly damage to the boiler.

The engineer tests the flue to verify that the exhaust gases are expelled and won’t create a carbon monoxide risk.

The engineer ensures adequate ventilation for your Boiler to further ensure safe use and correct running of your Boiler.

After the service, you can relax knowing your Boiler is safe to use.

Boilers should always have a carbon monoxide alarm installed nearby. While servicing verifies safety, an alarm should always be present just in case. The engineer will check your carbon monoxide alarm and recommend one if it’s missing.

Warranty & Breakdown Cover Validation

Boilers include warranties after installation, so your Boiler is covered if there is an issue.

You may also have home breakdown cover on your Boiler, or it may be included in your home insurance.

Bear in mind that warranties and insurance are only valid if your Boiler is serviced every 12 months by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

An annual Boiler service ensures your Boiler is covered by warranty and your home insurance.

A service record accompanies every service as proof if you need to make a claim.

Boiler Repairs

Otherwise, we’ll send an engineer out within a couple of hours. Our emergency Boiler Repairs in Hockley include fair rates and no call-out charges (minimum 1 hour’s labour applies).

The Faults That Cause Boiler Breakdowns

Boilers are complex appliances, and several reasons could be causing the issue you’re experiencing.

First check the pressure, which should be between 1 and 2 bars. Most Boiler manufacturers recommend somewhere between 1.3-1.5 bars (read your Boiler manual to determine the exact pressure).

If the pressure is low, try repressurising your Boiler once the Boiler’s running, monitor the pressure. If it drops again, there’s probably a leak, loose seal, blockage, faulty valve, or failing pump.

One of our engineers will find the cause and make the necessary repairs, changing faulty parts where needed.

An engineer should always investigate loud noises. Always pay attention to unusual noises. Something’s not right.

A whistling Boiling kettle noise indicates a blocked heat exchanger, an urgent issue that could write off your Boiler if not dealt with.

The thermocouple is a safety device that regulates the gas flow. If your pilot light won’t stay on, your thermocouple needs adjusting or has reached the end of its life and needs changing.

Frozen condensate pipes are the prime cause of Boiler failure in freezing weather conditions. The condensate pipe removes wastewater produced by your Boiler. Therefore, the pipe should be insulated to prevent freezing.

If your condensate pipe freezes because of inadequate insulation, our engineer will defrost the pipe and add insulation so the issue doesn’t happen again.

Same Day Boiler Repairs

Most Boiler Repairs are completed on the same day of call-out (minimum 1 hour’s labour applies). Our engineers are very good at diagnosing and resolving Boiler issues.
