Boiler Servicing

Although some people believe that boiler servicing is an ‘unnecessary expense’, having your gas serviced regularly is important for three key reasons: Safety, reliability & efficiency. When booking a gas boiler service, always check that your engineer is registered gas safe. Here at Orrell Heating & Plumbing our Gas Safe number is 506515.

What happens during your annual boiler service?

1

Initial Inspection

During a boiler servicing, your appointed boiler engineer will thoroughly look at the overall condition of your boiler to assess its functionality.

We will inspect the most important aspect of the boiler and its controls: safety. The controls regulate the flow of water and fuel so it’s vital they are working and are safe to use. We also check for leaks and obvious faults with the outside of your boiler.

2

Under the Hood

Once we’ve checked the outside of the boiler, we will pop off the outer casing and look through the internal components.

We’ll carry out a gas pressure test to measure the pressure of your boiler and make sure it’s functioning at the right amount. Other tests we carry out include a flue test. This will check the CO and combustion ratio to ensure they are at a safe amount and not emitting an excess of carbon monoxide gas.

Clean Boiler

Lastly, we will clean any components of the boiler that need a tidy up and check for lime scale or debris.

Once everything is in order, we will pop the outer case back on the boiler and give one last check. Before we leave, we will provide all relevant information about the boiler servicing that you can keep for your own records.

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 you a service reminder every year, so that you can contact us and book your boiler service at a time convenient to you.
