Boiler Annual Service - Why?

An annual service visit is essential to know if your boiler is working safely & efficiently. 

It helps to prevent many of the most common breakdowns. We can also identify any potential problems early, before they lead to more serious issues.

In 2021 Which? conducted a boiler reliability survey of 8001 boiler owners. They found around 3 in 10 boilers that are serviced annually needed a repair in the first six years. This doubled to around 6 in 10 boilers where the boiler was only serviced every two to five years.

One-Off Boiler Service and Repairs Vs Boiler Cover

We only  provide one off boiler servicing & repairs, read on to see why. 

According to research by Which? even with a breakdown every two years you can expect to save around £113 per year by paying for one off boiler service & repairs rather than a boiler cover policy.  Savings could therefore be even more if your boiler is still under the manufacturer’s warranty or you have chosen a reliable boiler brand.

With long boiler manufacturer warranties, boiler cover is becoming outdated. Boiler cover can be included or added to home insurance policies as an optional extra at a discounted price. Some still require you to have proof of an annual boiler service for the cover to be valid. 

Many people still like the peace of mind provided by boiler cover. We understand this. Rest assured that if the worst does happen The Boiler Service Co. can provide quick, cost effective repairs.

Many boiler cover companies have a long list of Ts & Cs. Please read these and check you are covered for everything you would expect.

We are engineers, we like to fix things. 

A one off annual boiler service from The Boiler Service Co, with the backup of speedy repairs, could save you money every year compared to boiler cover policies. More importantly we give you the quality service you expect. Peace of mind that everything is working safely & efficiently. 

Still think your boiler cover is worth the money every year?

What can I expect from an Annual Boiler Service?

We provide high quality one off boiler services at fair prices. We check more than most other companies during your annual service. Safety & efficiency is our priority. 

During a service, we will:

• Remove casing from boiler and fully inspect.
• Perform flue gas combustion analysis or full strip & clean service for older boilers where flue gas analysis is not possible.
• Check gas working pressures or gas rate.
• Check entire length of flue (where accessible) & any ventilation requirements.
• Check operation of safety devices.
• Fire boiler and check for any operational faults.
• Check case seals are effective.
• Bleed radiators if required.
• Check hot water cylinder
• Provide a report detailing work done.

These are our minimum checks and most customers will receive a full boiler service to manufacturers instructions. This just depends on your boiler.

We WILL also check your expansion vessel pressure is correct if you’re on a sealed system & recharge if necessary. Flat expansion vessels are THE most common call out for breakdowns by us (from boilers we haven’t serviced before).

You can expect a boiler service from The Boiler Service Co. to last around an hour. This time will depend on your boiler and size of system.

Did you know your unvented hot water cylinder also requires an annual service to maintain the warranty?

We can service your unvented hot water cylinder at the same time as your boiler service. Just ask when booking.

This includes checking all safety devices and recharging bubble top or external expansion vessels. If these are not checked regularly they can lead to further issues and cause costly breakdowns.
