What’s Included in a Boiler Service
A professional boiler service is more than just a quick look. Beatson’s engineers carry out a detailed inspection to ensure your heating system is safe, efficient, and performing at its best. A typical service includes:
Visual inspection of the boiler and flue
Cleaning of key components such as the burner and heat exchanger
Gas pressure and flow tests
Checking for leaks or corrosion
Testing carbon monoxide levels
Ensuring your controls and thermostat are working properly
Issuing a full service report for your records
Regular servicing can prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your boiler, saving you money in the long run.
When Should You Service Your Boiler?
The best time to book your boiler service is in late summer or early autumn, before the cold weather arrives. That way, any issues can be fixed before you need the heating on full-time.
Landlords are legally required to have gas appliances checked every 12 months, so it’s a good idea to book both your Gas Safety Certificate and boiler service at the same time.
It’s easy to forget about your boiler until something goes wrong, but a yearly service provides three key benefits:
Safety: Detects gas leaks and carbon monoxide issues early.
Efficiency: Keeps your boiler running at its best, helping lower energy bills.
Reliability: Reduces the risk of winter breakdowns and maintains your warranty.
Regular servicing can prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your boiler, saving you money in the long run.
