The importance of an annual boiler service

How often should you get your boiler serviced?

You should have your boiler serviced once a year, to make sure it’s functioning correctly and that you don’t have any water or gas leaks.

What other factors might prompt a service?

It’s been 12 months since the last service
You are selling your house
You have recently moved house, especially if you didn’t get a record of previous services from the seller
If the efficiency of your boiler seems to be deteriorating

Who can service your boiler?

By law, only Gas Safe registered engineers can service your boiler. If you are unsure of your engineer’s qualifications, look them up on the Gas Safe Register or ask to see their identification.

What are the benefits of regular servicing?

It saves lives. Faulty boilers can be extremely dangerous. The government estimates that carbon monoxide poisoning sends 4,000 people to A&E every year. As part of the service, any leaks or weak points will be identified and fixed.
An efficient boiler reduces your fuel bills. Regular servicing will ensure that your boiler is running as efficiently as possible – which will save on energy and more importantly, bills.
Save money on boiler repairs. Annual servicing will make sure that your boiler is working correctly. Any minor issues will be fixed as part of the service. If left unrepaired, these minor issues can cause serious malfunctions later on, which can prove more costly to fix.
Make sure your insurance is valid. Boiler warranties and insurance policies require annual services to take place in order to meet the policy requirements.
Comply with the Law. If you’re a business, you are legally obliged to keep any gas, LPG and oil appliances and installations fully maintained and safe to use and you must be able to provide a Gas Safe certificate for gas boilers.

Customer reviews

Heidi, homeowner

“Mr Heat was recommended to me by a friend. After a boiler breakdown I needed it repaired asap.
Martin was easy to contact. I left a message and he replied within 10 mins. I explained the problem, he ordered the part and came the next day to fit it. Martin also dropped me a text to say he was on his way beforehand.
Martin was polite and respectful of my property, efficient and tidy.
I highly recommend Mr Heat and will most definitely use him again for future services and repairs.”

Rob, homeowner

“Excellent from start to finish. Helpful from the first call. Came out straightaway, gave good, straightforward advice and sorted the problem promptly and with no fuss. Combi boiler had stopped working, so no heating or hot water. Identified the problem as the fan assembly, sourced the part and carried out the work within a day. Would have no hesitation in recommending Martin, who went above and beyond to ensure our heating was restored as quickly as possible.”

Martin O'Regan, homeowner

“Martin was polite, professional and did a thorough job of servicing our boiler and gas fire. His pricing is very competitive compared to other engineers. He was clean and tidy and we will definitely book him next time!
Despite being unable to attend the original appointment due to an emergency call out, he rebooked without needing to be chased which was appreciated. Thanks Mr Heat!”

Martin Vanhuizen, private landlord

“We’ve used Mr Heat for a few years now to carry out our Landlord’s Gas Certificates, and he has always been helpful & accomodating, even when dealing with uncooperative tenants, and having to travel good distances to get to the properties. Would we recommend him? Without a doubt.”

Jan Howes, letting agent
