Boiler servicing is a must for every household.
Aside from ensuring the safety and welfare of your home and your family, conducting an annual boiler servicing will also enable your boiler equipment to serve your heating needs for a much longer period of time.
Typically, you should follow the recommended frequency of boiler servicing by the manufacturer. If not, then you should have your boiler serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer on a yearly basis. While you may have had some fleeting experience with a plumber or a heating engineer who just tinkered with your boiler for about ten minutes then slapped you with an enormous bill, thankfully, these people are far and few in between. Do not hesitate to ask and check their ID.
Checklist of what typically happens during an annual boiler servicing.
- The boiler should be visually inspected to make sure that they are in compliance with present standards.
- The boiler must be fired in order to identify any faults.
- The casing should be removed to be able to completely inspect the main boiler components.
- Make certain that flue terminals and internal flue components are properly sealed.
- The gas valves should be checked and adjusted to ensure the efficient and proper combustion in the burner. This is usually done with a flue gas analyser.
- Inspect and ensure that the surfaces inside the casing are clean and free of debris.
- If needed, boiler parts should be cleaned.
- To ensure that there are no leaks, a test for gas tightness should be conducted.
- The boiler casing is then put back on with the assurance that it is properly sealed.
- A service report indicating all the work done by the engineer should then be provided to you.
