Why Arrange an Annual Boiler Service?
A regular boiler service gives an engineer an opportunity to inspect the appliance and carry out the checks appropriate to its make and model. It can help identify developing issues and gives you a record of maintenance. Many manufacturers also make annual servicing a condition of their warranty, so check the terms that apply to your boiler.
Lakins Heating & Plumbing services boilers in Redditch and nearby areas, including appliances we did not install. Our Gas Safe registered engineers explain any concerns they find and discuss recommended work with you.
What Happens During a Service?
The checks depend on the appliance and the manufacturer's guidance. They may include inspecting the boiler and flue, checking combustion and gas pressure, examining accessible components and testing relevant controls and safety devices. We will explain any fault or further work identified and provide a record of the service.
A service is not the same as a landlord gas safety check. If you need both for a rental property, tell us when booking so we can discuss what is required.
Getting Ready for Your Appointment
Please make sure the engineer can access the boiler and its controls. If you have the manufacturer's instructions, previous service records or details of a recurring fault, have them available. Let us know about any error messages, unusual noises or changes in performance when you book.
