FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Can I service my own boiler?
Fixing your boiler is risky if you're not a Gas Safe engineer. The Gas Safe Register is there for a good reason, and the risks are too great. Gas can be dangerous, so stay away from it unless you're Gas Safe!
-
How often should a home boiler be serviced?
It's necessary to have your boiler inspected every year to make sure it's working fine and doesn't have any water or gas leaks. If you skip this, your boiler might not work well, it could stop working, or you might lose the warranty.
-
Is a boiler service worth it?
Keeping your boiler in good shape is important for making it work better. If you regularly check and fix any possible problems, you can prevent your boiler from breaking down. To keep your boiler warranty valid, it's recommended to get it serviced every 12 months.

What does a full boiler service include?
