The Need for Boiler Service
Boilers are installed and often forgotten right after. As long as you have heat and you have hot water then it must be working fine. However, boilers are just like any equipment that deteriorates over time especially if they are not properly maintained. Because it operates on gas, it can be dangerous if it’s faulty or damaged. Gas leaks can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Aside from ensuring that there are no gas leaks, there are several other benefits in boiler servicing. It can improve the efficiency of your central heating system and that means bigger savings on heating bills and boiler repair.
What to Expect in a Boiler Service
If this is the first time that you’re having a boiler service, you probably don’t know what to expect. Here are just some of the things that a Gas Safe Registered engineer will do once he gets there.
- A visual check is first done to see if it meets all regulations — on both building and safety regulations.
- Flue terminals are inspected to make sure that there are no obstructions and that each components are correctly sealed.
- The boiler case is removed so they can look at the main components. It is then fired up to check for any faults.
- Some boiler parts are cleaned when needed.
- A tightness test is carried out to check for gas leaks.
- A flue gas analyzer is used to make sure that the gas valve is properly adjusted.
After all these are done, a report is created to document everything that has been done and a Gas Safe certificate is provided. Not all boilers are the same so there will be instances where some parts need to be dismantled like for example if the service is done on one of those conventional systems.
