A recent survey found that 20% of respondents didn’t have their boiler serviced over the past twelve months. Additionally 18% of respondents considered that the need for service was not necessary unless the boiler had a problem. While it could appear to be an unnecessary expense having an annual boiler maintenance offers many advantages. If you’ve never experienced a boiler maintenance in the past year This guide will give you the top six reasons you should add it to your list of things to do.
1. Make sure your family is secure
There is a possibility of a fault within your boiler that’s hidden from view. An annual inspection helps to stop explosions, fires gas leaks, explosions as well as carbon monoxide poisoning through finding the fault and fixing them in the right place prior to them leading to serious issues.
Carbon monoxide can be deadly and is undetectable without an Carbon Monoxide detector. Make sure that you install one near your boiler and receiving a routine service.
2. Reduces your energy bills
If your boiler isn’t regularly serviced in the beginning, it starts to lose effectiveness, which then has an effect on the cost of gas. A once-a-year service helps keep your boiler in tip-top shape and helps to avoid burning fuel for heating and keeping your energy bills under control.
3. Saves money on expensive boiler repair
The cost of a boiler maintenance is an incredibly cost-effective expense every year. But, if your boiler fails and requires repairs or replaced, it could cause a significant expense. Regular maintenance improves the efficiency that your heater has and lowers the likelihood of needing repairs that are costly down the time.
4. Guarantees are valid for a certain period of time.
If you’ve bought a brand new boiler and you have a guarantee, it will usually be invalid if you don’t provide annual maintenance. Many manufacturers require that the Gas Safe engineer performs a annual boiler service. Any repairs that are required won’t be covered by the warranty.
5. Helps prevent winter breakdowns
There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to switch your heating system on when it is cold, and then finding something wrong with the heating system. The whole house is frozen and the family members with cold feet. When you get your boiler maintained prior to the coldest seasons rolling around and you’ll be able to be confident that you won’t have any problems in the time you require your heating the most.
6. Legalizes your business even if you’re a tenant
If you’re a landlord you’re legally obliged to have an annual safety certificate from an accredited Gas Safe engineer. The certificate shows it is the case that every boiler, pipes and flues as well as gas appliances within the rental property are checked and repaired, as well as kept in good manner.
