Your gas boiler, just like your car, needs an annual service to ensure it is running as it should be. And, just like your car's MOT, the primary reasons for this are efficiency and safety.
Although there is cost to having your gas boiler serviced you could actually save money by having this done on a regular basis.
The main reason for this is that harmful deposits build up inside the boiler which reduce the efficiency of the system.
This means higher gas bills for your tenants and the increased risk of a breakdown. An annual boiler service will bring your boiler's efficiency level back up and reduce the risk of a breakdown.

Our engineer will conduct a comprehensive 30 point Service of your domestic gas boiler to ensure that you have the utmost confidence in the efficiency and safety of your boiler.
The cost of the Service includes call-out, labour and VAT.
What does the Service not include?
Your Service does not include the cost of repairing the boiler or replacing parts to the appliance or any part of the central heating system.
How long does the service take?

How often should I have my gas appliances serviced?
Boiler manufacturers recommend that you get your gas appliances (gas boilers, gas fires, gas water heaters, gas cookers) serviced annually.
