Why an annual boiler service is worth every penny

A serviced boiler is a safer boiler — and it saves you money on your energy bills, too.

Why an annual boiler service is worth every penny

Your boiler probably runs harder than any other appliance in your home. A yearly service by a qualified gas engineer checks the burner, heat exchanger, gas pressure, flue and safety controls.

Safety first. A qualified engineer will check for gas leaks and dangerous carbon monoxide emissions — issues that can be silent but life-threatening.

Lower bills. A well-tuned boiler can be up to 10% more efficient than a neglected one. Over a year, that's often more than the cost of the service.

Longer life. Regular servicing catches wear before it becomes a breakdown, extending your boiler's life by years.

Warranty protection. Most boiler warranties require annual servicing — miss one, and any future warranty claim can be refused.

Our Boiler & Home System Plans include an annual service arranged through our network of qualified engineers, with repair support provided in line with your plan Terms & Conditions.
