The Benefits of Boiler Servicing

Looking after your boiler is an ongoing task. However, by looking after your boiler, there comes a range of benefits and advantages for you and your home. In this blog post, we have listed a few of these benefits for you to acknowledge. If you require our services, such as boiler servicing please don't hesitate to get in touch with us here at Crawley Gas Engineer in Crawley and the surrounding areas.

What is Boiler Servicing? 

To begin with, we should explain exactly what boiler servicing involves. Firstly, boiler servicing is a service often recommended on an annual basis and offered by Gas Safe registered engineers. It involves an engineer conducting the necessary checks and tests on a boiler to ensure that it is in working order and operating smoothly and efficiently. Boiler servicing is however, a legal requirement for landlords and requires that they receive boiler servicing on the boiler of their properties on an annual basis. 

What Are The Benefits of Boiler Servicing? 

Below, we're created a short list of some of the benefits that boiler servicing can offer for you and your boiler; 

Safety for You and Your Home

The first benefit of having your boiler serviced on a regular basis means that your boiler should remain in a safe condition to use. Why? Because just like our cars, they are receiving the care and attention they require to ensure they are working properly.

By having a Gas Safe registered engineer conduct boiler servicing on your boiler on a regular basis, any problems and faults that may be occurring can be identified before its too late. Remember, a faulty boiler can become very expensive in the long-run and potentially dangerous to use. 

Legally Required by Landlords

As previously mentioned and believe it or not, it is in fact a legal requirement for landlords to have the boiler in their property serviced for the safety of tenants. This means that on an annual basis, a Gas Safe registered engineer must come and conduct the appropriate checks and tests to ensure the boiler is working properly. 

Extended Warranties and Guarantees from Boiler Manufacturers

The final point to make in this blog post is that on top of the safety concerns and the legal requirements of boiler servicing mentioned above; boiler servicing can mean that your boiler remains in the extended warranties and guarantees offered by the boiler manufacturer. This means that on top of having regular boiler servicing, your boiler could be covered if a breakdown ever occurred and the boiler required repairing. Believe it or not, by not receiving boiler servicing, you may not qualify for the extended warranties and guarantees that you were originally offered.
