The importance of a boiler service

An annual service is recommended for any boiler type to ensure your system is kept in top condition and is operating to optimum performance. Maintaining your boiler helps to protect against carbon leaks, poor plumbing and heating, boiler breakdown and prolongs the lifespan of your boiler.


During a boiler service, one of our expert heating engineers will visually check the boiler for damage and wear. We will also check elements such as the flue, safety devices, system pressure and all exterior and interior components. An annual boiler service is also required to maintain your manufacturer guarantee / warranty. Here at Orrell Heating & Plumbing we will send your a service reminder every year, so that you can contact us and book your boiler service at a time convenient to you.

What happens at your boiler service?

It is important to understand what happens during your boiler service, so we have provided an overview below.

01 Visual

Inspection

Our Gas Safe engineer at Orrell Heating & Plumbing will check that the boiler still meets current standards and requirements and look for any corrosion or leaks. They will also visually check the flame in your boiler.

02 Removal of

boiler casing

Our engineers will then check the components to ensure everything is working correctly and then clean the inside of the boiler. These checks should include the heat exchanger, burner, main injector and spark probe.

03 Check the

flue

Following on from point 2, our engineer will ensure there are no obstructions in the flue terminals and that the flue is safely fitted.

04 Gas pressure

check

Our engineer will ensure that your boiler is working at the correct pressure. If needed, we will top up the pressure to meet the manufacturer guidelines.

05 Fire up the

boiler

This allows our engineer to check for any working faults. The flame on your boiler should burn blue, so any change to this could identify a potential issue.
