Boiler Service

Your boiler is arguably the most critical and frequently used appliance in your home, essential for providing consistent heating and hot water. Manufacturers strongly recommend scheduling a professional boiler service every 12 months to ensure reliable and efficient operation.

Don’t wait for a breakdown to occur – invest in planned preventative maintenance by booking your annual boiler service with Buckinghamshire Heating today.

The Value of Annual Boiler Maintenance

While we instinctively service our cars to maintain performance and reliability, the same essential maintenance is often overlooked for our boilers. Given that your boiler runs almost constantly throughout the year, treating it with the same vigilance is key to its longevity. Just as you wouldn’t drive a car for a decade without a service, you shouldn’t neglect your boiler.

What Happens During a Boiler Service?

Our Gas Safe registered engineers conduct a comprehensive check of the boiler’s performance and safety. A typical service involves:

• Performance Optimisation: The engineer checks the boiler’s operational parameters and makes necessary adjustments to optimise how the boiler runs. This often leads to improved efficiency or maintains a consistently high level of performance.
• Cleaning and Maintenance: Essential components like the burner and the condensate trap are cleaned to prevent clogs. Seals may also be checked and replaced as needed.
• Component Inspection: Seals, which are integral to both the boiler’s safety and its performance, are inspected for wear and tear.

Why is Annual Servicing So Important?

1. Preventative Maintenance: Servicing allows us to clean out parts (like the burner and trap) before they become clogged or blocked, which can cause the boiler to lock out (fail). It can also identify small issues or faulty parts early, allowing them to be replaced as planned maintenance rather than an expensive emergency repair.
2. Safety Assurance: Inspection of seals and operational parts ensures the appliance is functioning safely within its designated parameters.
3. Warranty Protection: If your boiler is still under a manufacturer’s warranty, they will stipulate that the boiler must be serviced annually. Failing to do so will unfortunately void your manufacturer’s warranty.
