When should you service your boiler?

Servicing your boiler is a great way to keep it in great shape for as long as possible. It is recommended by every boiler manufacturer and gas engineer- but how regularly should you get it serviced? And are there any other key times to get it looked at?

Get your boiler serviced every year

Your boiler should be serviced every year to keep it in the best shape possible. We recommend you get it serviced in the summertime if possible, as this means any problems can be rectified before you begin to rely on it every day. Annual servicing is the ideal amount of time to wait to ensure you catch any problems while they’re still small, while not being too often that you are wasting your money on it. 

Get your boiler serviced when you move in

When you move into a new house, it is always the best idea to get your boiler serviced as soon as you can. There is nothing better than finding out your new boiler is safe and secure and you’re free to settle straight in. While the previous owners may say they have recently got it serviced, it is still best to just do it yourself for extra piece of mind. This also sets you up for annual servicing moving forward!

Get your boiler serviced when you suspect any damage

As soon as you notice any potential problem with your boiler, you should get it serviced as soon as possible. Boiler problems are much easier to solve when they’re spotted early on, so never wait for it to end up in a breakdown. It is much easier to service your boiler than it is to fix a breakdown! 

Potential boiler problems include:

• Your hot water or radiators taking a while to heat up
• Your boiler is making strange sounds such as whistling, banging or clanging
• Cold spots remaining on your radiators, even after bleeding them
• Your pilot light is going out
• Your boiler pressure won’t stay above 1 on the pressure gauge
