How often does a boiler need servicing?

The boiler is an integral part of every home, powering both central heating and hot water.

Preventing problems with your boiler is therefore key to avoiding any unnecessary disturbances to your daily routine. The good news is that you don’t have to be an engineer to ensure that your boiler is running as smoothly as possible during the winter months.

Regular servicing as a preventative measure

One of the best ways to ensure that your boiler is there for you when you need it is to ensure that it undergoes regular servicing. Much like with your car, putting your boiler through regular services can go a long way to keeping it running well, all year round.

Gas leaks are very rare in boilers but can be extremely dangerous. Regular services will ensure that your boiler is working safely, as well as effectively. The peace of mind that comes with the knowledge that your boiler is safe is always well worth the price of a service.

Annual services are highly recommended for every home, and whether you are an existing British Gas customer or not, we can help to keep your boiler in top condition. In the event that you experience a fault or problem, our qualified engineers can repair or replace the boiler for a fixed fee. For some customers, the call-out fee may even be free of charge.

Maintaining efficiency

Carrying out boiler servicing is also a great way of making sure that your boiler is running as efficiently as possible. A boiler which isn’t working to full efficiency is sure to be costing you money on your fuel bill, so it’s likely that the cost of a service will be quickly offset.

Boilers today are more efficient than ever before, but even the newest models can become clogged in time. Whatever your boiler’s age, you’ll stand to make significant savings on your household energy bill by carrying out regular boiler checks.

Regular boiler services are only likely to pay off if carried out by a professional. Here at British Gas, all of our engineers are fully qualified, meaning that the quality of our service is unrivalled.
