Boiler Servicing

Your home’s central heating system is its core. Ensuring its proper maintenance is crucial for its health and efficient operation. Regular servicing by the R W Yuile Plumbing Heating Gas Services Ltd team can significantly enhance its performance and longevity. Not only does this practice potentially reduce your energy expenses, but it also prioritises the safety of everyone in your household. Remember, if your boiler is under its manufacturer’s guarantee or warranty, an annual service is obligatory to maintain the validity of either.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How often should my boiler be serviced?

It’s advisable to schedule an annual boiler service to guarantee its optimal functioning. A malfunctioning boiler could lead to substantial financial loss, potentially due to carbon monoxide leaks. Given that this toxic gas is both colorless and odourless, detecting leaks can be challenging. Thus, entrusting a Gas Safe Registered engineer with regular checks is paramount for safety.

Do I need a boiler service to protect my guarantee or warranty?

Yes, many boiler manufacturers will request that you have a boiler service every year to validate either the guarantee or warranty.

What happens during the boiler service?

We conduct comprehensive inspections of your boiler to verify its operational status. Our meticulous assessment includes checking for leaks, corrosion, and inspecting key components. Additionally, we perform tests to detect any presence of hazardous fumes, ensuring your safety.

What is a Gas Safety check?

A gas safety check is a yearly inspection of all gas appliances in a home. If you use gas appliances – which most of us do – it’s a good idea to get them checked by a Gas Safe engineer (an engineer vetted by the Gas Safe Registry). After the check, you’ll receive a Gas Safe certificate that lasts for a year.
