The Importance Of Having Gas Appliances Checked Annually Servicing your gas appliances annually with Gas Safe registered engineers is essential for every homeowner to maintain heating efficiency and prolong the lifespan of your boiler and other appliances. However, many people do not have regular servicing and it could lead to heating problems for your home and ultimately, expensive breakdowns and repairs. Adrian Payne Heating & Plumbing provide boiler servicing throughout Kings Lynn / Wisbech and the surrounding areas.
It is important you have a qualified engineer available for all servicing and repairs, with Adrian being a Gas Safe registered engineer .
Identify Early Issues Having your heating appliances checked is not only about restoring the performance and condition of the appliance. It can also identify any future issues early and resolve them before they become a problem. Your gas appliances can easily encounter minor issues and, whilst they may not currently be a priority, they could escalate in the future, causing damage to your overall heating performance.
With regular servicing and checks of gas appliances, issues are found quickly and repaired without any delays. This should save you money in the long-term. Usually, you would have to pay for expensive repairs to deal with larger issues. However, with regular service, bigger issues should not occur as they should be fixed at a much earlier stage. To ensure that all problems are found with your gas appliances, having a Gas Safe registered engineer is essential for the highest standard of service.
Maintain & Improve Efficiency Having a high heating efficiency means you have both a high level of performance, as well as reducing the costs of your heating bills. Regular checks and servicing makes it much easier for you to maintain and improve the efficiency of your boiler and the performance of other gas appliance, therefore helping you save money on your heating. When a brand appliance is installed, it should always be in the best condition and annual checks will help to retain that condition.
Efficiency can drop over time and it is important to keep servicing your boiler to prevent efficiency significantly dropping. The more efficient your boiler is, the less it costs to run, making servicing essential to save money. Depending on the age of your gas appliance, it can be difficult to maintain performance. This is why servicing is important even for the newest appliances, so it does not become costly later in its life.
How Long Should Boiler Servicing Take? When checking your gas appliances annually with Gas Safe registered engineers, your boiler is one of the most important appliances. Each boiler servicing will be specific to your boiler model and manufacturer. Despite this, a simple boiler servicing should only take around 20 minutes. This would ensure your boiler is in good condition, before testing the boiler for any issues. If the boiler is working correctly, then servicing should not take long to complete.
However, boiler servicing can take longer if issues are found or the boiler is emitting unsafe fumes. When an issue is found, qualified engineers should be used to identify and resolve the problem quickly, making repairs with the best equipment to restore the original condition of the boiler and improve its efficiency again. Whilst this may take a little longer, it should leave your boiler working effectively again and prevent breakdowns or larger repairs being needed.
How Often Should I Have A Boiler Service? Some boiler models and manufacturers may not require regular boiler servicing. Despite this, you should have boiler servicing at least once a year, along with other gas appliances, resolving any issues and preventing the boiler from having a short lifespan. An annual boiler service should help with all problems and makes sure your boiler is performing efficiently for the foreseeable future. With testing and repairs, your boiler is thoroughly inspected before the service is complete.
For homeowners, annual servicing is a safe recommendation. For any landlords, boiler servicing is a legal requirement to ensure the safety of your tenants when it comes to their heating. As a landlord, your boiler servicing must legally be completed every 12 months for each boiler across any properties.
If your gas appliances are beginning to age, more frequent servicing and checks are beneficial to prevent breakdowns occurring and continue prolonging life. If you choose to have replacements, this should still be checked regularly to ensure replacements are not needed very often.
