If you’re anything like us you’ve seen a plumber of central heating engineer waltz in, spend five minutes tinkering, then leave a hefty bill at least once in your life. Cowboys aren’t the norm, but there are enough of them around to make many people looking for annual boiler servicing wary.

In the hope of demystifying what actually happens during your the course of your boiler being serviced, as well as providing you a checklist of items to make sure your boiler service engineer covers all the bases, we've summed up what happens during the process below.

 

Boiler flue output analysed

 

Pipework inspected, with ventilation and clearance check

 

Full testing of all boiler components and functionality

 

Disassembly and cleaning of key components

 

Replacement of any boiler components that are faulty or nearing end of life

 

Of course there’s a great deal more to it than that, but without becoming a boiler servicing engineer yourself you probably don’t need to know much more! So long as your boiler service incorporates those five broad requirements any run-of-the-mill problems will be detected and fixed.

Beware of annual safety checks, boiler safety checks and interim boiler service and quick boiler service packages. Sometimes these can seem like full annual boiler services, but on closer inspection they might cover only a fraction of the tasks that need to be carried out during a service.Questions about boiler servicing?If you have any questions about annual boiler servicing please Contact Us - Terms
