Boiler Servicing

Boiler Servicing is essential maintenance that should be carried out annually. Here’s why

Your Boiler Is Less Likely To Breakdown

Neglect is the main reason that Boilers breakdown. Over the years, we have fixed many Boilers, and we have noticed neglected, unserviced Boilers breakdown more often than regularly serviced and looked after Boilers. Annual servicing lowers the chances of Boiler breakdown.

Validation Of Warranties & Insurance

For the above reason, Boiler manufacturers and home insurance breakdown policies stipulate Boilers must be serviced annually.

Annual servicing ensures your warranty or home emergency cover covers you in the event of Boler breakdown. In addition, a service record’s written following the service proves your Boiler’s been maintained by a qualified Gas Safe Registered Engineer.

Improved Energy Efficiency

The cost of energy increases year on year. No one wants to pay more than they have to for fuel.

Boilers are in use every day. They get dirty, and the Boiler has to work harder, costing more to run.

A clean Boiler is a more efficient Boiler. Annual servicing ensures the best possible energy efficiency for your Boiler.

Safe From Carbon Monoxide

While modern Boilers are expertly made and highly safe, they present a carbon monoxide risk.

Carbon monoxide can kill. Annual servicing includes safety checks that verify your Boiler is safe and not a carbon monoxide liability.

Issue Detection

While your Boiler may be running ok, there may be issues that you’re not aware of, such as internal leaking, a blockage or malfunctioning safety devices. Left unchecked, issues could turn into severe and expensive problems. 

A service will uncover underlying issues so you can plan for a repair. Our engineer may even be able to rectify the issue during the service. 

Stringent Servicing At The Best Prices

All Boiler servicing is undertaken by an experienced Gas Safe Registered, following the correct procedures outlined by the Boiler manufacturer.

Our engineer will ensure your Boiler is set and running properly following the service.

We ensure our Boiler servicing prices are amongst the best in South Woodham Ferrers.

Boiler Repairs

Boiler Servicing is the best protection against Boiler breakdown. However, we are on hand to help you in the event of Boiler issues or failure.

Our Boiler Repairs include no call-out charges.

If you’re having Boiler trouble, call us on 01245 830025. An engineer will offer advice over the phone and arrange a time to visit. We aim to attend Boiler breakdowns within two hours.

Once the engineer arrives, he’ll inspect and test your Boiler to establish what the issue is.

Sometimes all that’s needed is some adjustments such as the tightening of seals, reconnection of an electrical wire or repressurising the Boiler. In which case, your Boiler will be back up and running quickly. 

Often an internal part within the Boiler has failed. Faulty Boiler parts need to be removed and replaced. 

Such parts include the thermocouple, which regulates the gas supply and cuts the gas off if there’s a fault, pumps that distribute water, and safety devices that prevent damage if the Boiler stops suddenly.

We carry various typical parts with us to get Boilers repaired quickly. If we don’t have the part, we can often obtain them the same day from local suppliers. Otherwise, we’ll try to order the part for next day delivery.

Following a Boiler repair, our engineer will switch on your Boiler and run tests to ensure it’s repaired sufficiently and working as it should.

The engineer may also inspect your central heating system to ensure it’s set correctly and won’t cause the Boiler any further issues.

A prevalent Boiler issue is a frozen condensate pipe. The pipe removes all wastewater created by the condensing process. 

We often see uninsulated or poorly insulated condensate pipes when attending Boiler services and repairs. 

Uninsulated pipes are prone to freezing in cold weather. A frozen condensate pipe will stop the Boiler from working, so we recommend insulating.

Limescale which is often found in central heating systems can damage the Boilers heat exchanger. 

If the engineer believes your system suffers from debris build-up, a Powerflush may be recommended to thoroughly cleanse your system and prevent future Boiler issues.
