What is a Boiler Service?
A boiler service is a comprehensive annual inspection and maintenance procedure designed to ensure your boiler operates safely, efficiently, and reliably. This essential service is recommended by all boiler manufacturers, and neglecting to schedule it annually can void your warranty.
Only a certified Gas Safe Registered heating engineer is qualified to perform a boiler service. Attempting to service your boiler independently is both unsafe and ineffective. Additionally, you may require a boiler service certificate for your records. This certificate verifies that the service was conducted by a Gas Safe Registered engineer and confirms that your boiler is safe to use and performing at its optimal level.
